Topic: Cable Tie Contest!

I have a near Lemons dream job.  I work for a company that makes cable ties! (Not Zip Ties TM).  We are running a contest for the best use of cable ties.  Note that it must be a commercially viable usage in order to win the contest, but I'm sure that you can come up with some other entertaining uses for them.

This has to be a hoax. . . .right? smile

(looks around, no, it's not April 1st.)

Asking this crowd for 'best use of cable ties' is going to end up being 'most creative _misuse_ of cable ties'.

It's going to end up being the largest collection of 'you're doing it wrong. . . but brilliantly so', ever!

Works in the mud too, but they have to be the super thick ones used for HVAC ducting.

Re: Cable Tie Contest!

They actually make specific cable ties for that

Re: Cable Tie Contest!

you'd get some really glorious responses if duct tape can be used along with the zip ties..
