I like the thought of glue bodies. Have no idea why--but just thinking about klebenleiben sounds fun--glue bodies--pulling Elmer's glue off your fingertips--mudwrestlin'--throwin' yerseff against one of them Velcrow walls--stuff like that. All that must be examples of klebenleiben, a word I plan on dropping everywhere I go from now on. There are probably thousands of outstanding applications!

Borden's regards,
WW

PS: And, yes, I would miss Velcrow on the spelling bee.

Dear WW: There was a story about klebenbleiben in news a couple years ago. A bimbo mad at cheating husband lifted bedclothes off him while he was asleep, poured cyanoacrylic glue over his genitals and crotch. He had to be taken ER to have laborious de-bonder application before he could even put his underwear on.

When hobbit mania bit deep in the late Sixties, and Gandalf was proclaimed a harbinger of the Age of Aquarius, the ageing Tolkien dismissed it all as the ravings of a 'lunatic fringe'.

among some ethnic groups, pouring various liquids onto a sleeping man is a common practice..

a woman who finds our her man is cheating, might douse him with icewater, and when he warmed up a bit, and is complaining about parts being near frozen off--she might retort---"you want boiling water next time? "

frozen marbles are substitued too, (less damage to the bedding) and various other substitutes.. I have never heard of crazy glue being used..(its generally rather expensive, and only sold in small quantities-- and you can de bond at home with plain old acetone.. (cheap nail polish remover)

don't think it would be too comfortable on delicate parts, but i don't think it would cause serious burns or damage either.

Crazy glue may be relatively easy to debond, but my husband works with some strange and nasty glues at the guitar factory. Some can be quite harmful. Some need accelerator sprayed on them to set them so the guys can get on with their work right away, instead of waiting. And they have bottles of debonder everywhere, because guys are always gluing their fingers together, or to the guitars. In his first months, my husband's fingertips were always black with glue when he came home.

The guys there also, of course, spend a lot of time and energy gluing people's tools to their benches, or their boots to the floor. I imagine this is only funny the first couple of times, especially for the management.

Dear belMarduk: Also pretty difficult to get any work done. Imagine trying to sit down.
