That discription also fits "Red Green"	(for those of you who haven't
seen his
show...
He is a comedian from canada who has a half hour show on PBS -- here in
the
states.
One of the things he does is try to turn common ordinary objects into
something radically different...Usually by using MASSIVE amounts of duct
tape
to hold it togather...Never seems to work very well.  His favorite
comment
is:  Duct tape, The handyman's secret weapon!)
