Finally a news story from CNN that's useful.

We tried it on my daughters finger for 40 days or so and it seemed like it really shrunk them down. For the last 6-8 weeks since we stopped they've grown bigger it seems. She's wanting to try the tape again but I'll share the article with her and we'll go from there.

I'm not sure this is a dead issue yet. What say we get a few rolls and tape up Dragnet real good and see if he disappears. The results of that test would be pretty conclusive wouldn't it?

You mean you never tried the dead-cat-in-the-graveyard-at-midnight method? (Watch out for Injun Joe, though.)

My wife would kill me and knowing this child she'd become freaked out and bug eyed on a permanent basis. As far as Injun Joe goes....isn't he locked up for good now?

Now to git personal with you. Don't you think that it just might be a little insensitive to bring up the "Dead Cat Method" to me? Think Muddle think!

I *know* we had the conversation. I just thought you was gonna *follow through* on it.

And you can always use a cat that died of "natural causes."

I've come to think of you as intelligent fellows, and I enjoy reading your blogs, but come on. . .everyone knows how to cure warts. You mean you haven't tried banana peels; garlic; rubbing it with a penny, then give the penny away; swamp water; or wash with dishrag and bury dishrag under the house; apple cider vinegar; nail polish - shoot the list goes on and on. Sooner or later the wart will get tired and go away so you'll stop bothering it. Or you'll get tired of fooling with it and accept the wart. Didn't y'all have "grannies" with roots and cures where you come from?

Go to a doctor and have it lasered off.

I see you didn't have better luck than me pussycat. You shouldn't have wrapped yourself in duct tape... but do not despair, hair will grow back and you will be normal again, sometime in the distant future.

Mmmmm, hope these news were out before I started treating a cyst in my right testicle with duct tape.

Gee, bad_ptc, thanks for bringing up such an important issue.

Geezus DragNet - warts are not the same as cysts. I'm affraid your cataracts are getting worse. Did you not put the basil leaf between your toes like you were told? };-) You silly boy- you just won't listen. You won't get by on your cuteness forever!

Okay, once more for the record:

Cysts:
Frog Hair
Chicken's tooth
Lensless glasses without frames.
Boil, stir, drink.

Warts:
One bucket on prop wash OR a shelf stretcher.
Give either to a new blogger and say three times "stir the pot"

MainFrame Eye-wink

Have you all gone crazy with the warts? Don't you know you are killing off some past relative's gene when you destroy a wart? That is as bad as taking off a crooked nose like grandpa Harry's! Why, it is as bad as wearing lipstick and rouge, dancing, bobbing your hair, wearing pants (women), and teasing men! Nearly as bad as stem cell research.
