Im not at work this week, but I had a stress ball, untill I ripped it into about 37 pieces.... Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:45:51 That's the beauty of blue-tac, you can put it back together. 8)
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:46:17 not me but i did think when i was younger that i could use blue tack as chewing gum!!!
was ok for a split second :| Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:51:47 What does happen to blue-tac when you chew it?
It loses it's tac and falls to bits. I'm not impressed. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:52:23 Best thing to do with it is try and make it into a dice....well cube...and then u can add the dots if you want. takes a while but passes time.
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: DV on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:54:20 Yep did that at work once......

We created a two minute blue-tac challenge at work. Challenge someone to said activity, whoever makes the best sculpture in two minutes is the winner. Passes a couple of minutes, and gets the crative juices flowing, best of all it's free, because work pay for the blue-tac. :soapy tit wank: Title: Blue-Tac Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:55:03 Quote What does happen to blue-tac when you chew it?

Quote Best thing to do with it is try and make it into a dice....well cube...and then u can add the dots if you want. takes a while but passes time. used to do this all the time. like you say if your bored it's a good way to pass the time. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:55:22 what did you make?
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:57:04 A hedge-hog for my first attempt. I lost as it was rubbish. Can't remember any others though.
You can also apply the same challenge to paint on your computer. I won that drawing a Mr. Man. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:57:06 do you have pictures??
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:58:11 Quote from: "magicroundabout" do you have pictures?? Of the sculptures? I'm affraid not, and my adversery has left the company so the potential for more is slim to shady. :cry: Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 11:59:27 shame...

I do that all the time, its especially exciting if you use the end of a biro middle to make a circular dent then the pen end for a middle....trying to get it perfect centred. Then of course there's chamfering the corners as opposed to a perfect edge. If I get stressed though like KT I just squeeze manically. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 12:01:11 same! its fun...well considering your at work!
question....where's my avatar gone?! Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Asher on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 12:35:13 Ive just ordered some blue tac, need to de stress!
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 12:51:04 lets see who can make the best dice....take pictures if you can...
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 13:26:15 Quote from: "Marie" lets see who can make the best dice....take pictures if you can... Looks like I win then...a lump of blu tac is not that interesting so I put a program from 1959 to improve it......blu tac die on the left. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/Reg__Smeeton/dice.jpg Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 13:51:16 You are indeed in pole-position at the moment Reg, it is early days yet though. I'm sure there will be a challenger offering up a different take on the blue-tac die any moment though.

Even have a little boxing glove, just because![/url] Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:11:25 That is a fine example Marie, have you measured it to make sure it is a perfect cube, it looks very close from here.
You may be in the lead. ps. nice glove Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:14:37 yeah! all the sides have to be even and straight!
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:19:29 I don't have any blu-tac, but here's a Mr Man

Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:21:05 I like it Sonic, did you complete that in the allowed two minutes? If so you would have won the 'two minute paint challenge' by a landslide.
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:21:39 hahahahaha quality. I've now got a new background
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: DV on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:21:43 no bling bling sonic...
I'd obviously build the biggest and best dice, all I'm missing is a dice, some blue tac and a digi camera Title: Blue-Tac Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:24:35 Quote from: "Kinky Tom" I like it Sonic, did you complete that in the allowed two minutes? If so you would have won the 'two minute paint challenge' by a landslide. I found it on my HDD, does that still count? It took me less than two minutes to upload. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:27:14 Erm, not sure it qualifies then, but I still like it. 8)
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: magicroundabout on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 14:32:27 think Marie, is in the lead still.
Reg Smeeton, yours looks a bit big compared to the proper die Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Boeta on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 15:04:22 this is rather strange.
just this morning in business me and my mate (he's from swindon - perhaps blue-tac was on the mind of Swindonians today) were pissing around with blue-tac. you really can have endless fun with it okay maybe not endless fun, but at least 30 seconds worth he told me that white-tac is way way cheaper than blue-tac meanwhile, the lad that sits behind us (he's also from the swindon area) informed us that the average working week in finland is 33 hours Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 15:08:44 Blue-tac is great. I sit with a lump of it in my left hand for most of the day.
The lump itself is not actually 100% blue-tac though because it is often too hard. White-tac is too soft, and very sticky. I decided one day to make a hybrid lump mixing white and blue-tac together to make sky-blue-tac. It is the perfect consistency, and easily maliable. Try it.

Title: Blue-Tac Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 15:56:24 Scandalous!

Reg Smeeton, yours looks a bit big compared to the proper die You're only saying that because Marie's a bird........ The difference in quality is there for all to see I'm affraid Reg. Marie has clearly gone to greater lengths to make sure her's is spot on. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 16:26:16 But neat symmetry is one thing.....I feel my creativity in linking the cast of the die to Accrington Stanley, and the vagaries of history is going unnoticed here.
I know how van Gogh felt now. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: blinkpip on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 16:56:04 Maries is a fake, i am sure of it! :twisted:
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 17:02:18 I got a detention as school once due to Blue Tack...... Really.
I just had a lump of it during an especially boring physics class, and whilst fiddling about due to the boredom I just stuck random objects into. The next thing I knew I was hauled up in front of the headmaster for making "A potentially lethal weapon in class". I weren't happy and rebelled by not attending the detention, which resulted in another detention which I did also not attend and so the saga went on. Eventually the school gave up (Hooray to me), partly due to the fact that I was generally a good boy at school, and all detentions where forgotten about and the slate wiped clean, provided that I made no more potentially lethal blue tack weapons at schools. Mind you, if I had used that lump of blue tack as a weapon, it would have really fucking hurt somebody. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 17:43:54 Quote from: "blinkpip" Maries is a fake, i am sure of it! :twisted: How is it!? I still have it in front of me now.... Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Asher on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 17:58:55 Stop lying marie, thats a pic from teh net, you told me on msn!!!
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: DV on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 18:38:43 surely we need another picture of the die exactly the same, but without the boxing glove this time....
Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 19:04:21 okay that can be sorted!
Ash is lyin. Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Marie on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 19:08:17 http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/marieclare_s/anotherdice.jpg
Even on the same bit of paper! Title: Blue-Tac Post by: Asher on Thursday, May 19, 2005, 19:15:05 Fuck I got caught out!
