Yesterday, After playing Brawl pretty constant since i got it. Me and a friend we're nearly finshing the subspace emssiary. So I went on Went to play some other modes in brawl for a little bit. When my brand new White GameStop GC controller's "A" button started to squeak. So I got out a can of cooking spray to use as lubrication. Sprayed into the little gap around the button. Wiped off the excess spray off the controller. And WaLa, I fixed it and the squeak was gone. And still is gone.

Some interior panels on my car have been rattling around since I bought it. (Mostly cover panels around the dashboard. See, the people I bought it from had replaced the head unit themselves, and they must have had some "extra" parts left over when they were done...) Some pieces of foam, silicone caulk, and Krazy Glue fixed them all.

It goes great with my riveted-back-together-a-buncha-times passenger side inner wheel well and "custom" aluminum muffler bracket.

My bed is made out of 2 futon mattresses sitting on an old bunkbed, there is carboard duct taped to the steel frame to keep the mattress from sinking in. The fan in my computer is held in with wire and hot glue. i wonce hotwired a lawn mower to prove I could. I made a longer stock for my bb gun with tape and cardboard.

Before I learned proper book binding, I fixed one of my books by making a cover out of electrical tape. I also had a Dremel that I melted the housing off of, so I wrapped it in electrical tape, protected the moving parts with a bit of conduit, did layers of hot glue over that to make it fit my hand, then wrapped the whole thing in electrical tape.

My Xbox 360's kept telling me that ever disc was unreadable. Well I duct tapped some toilet paper to a CD-R and let the disc tray open and close a few times with it in there. Works like new!

My enter key broke (usually I'd just pop it back in but like, pieces snapped somehow?) so I used a lead pencil eraser with a piece of cardboard glued to it, and that worked for a bit, but then it unglued, so I just used the eraser, but that kept popping out so now I just use the enter key on the numpad.

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the ghetto bright red cardboard key, which looked cool, but I do have this, which was my solution for a couple weeks:
