Oh god, so many inappropriate joke spring to mind.

I glued my lips together once too. And glued a dire avenger head between my breasts (by accident, I dropped it, I didn't do it for lulz), didn't find it until I had a bath the next day. Then I glued myself to the table, and glued myself to my clothes. Glued my cat to the table as well.

ROFL! Nothing that bad.. course.. I'm lacking the breasts to glue things too...

Would saying he lived a cohesive life be consitered inappropriate? Or how he really stuck it to death by living so long? And how he eventually adhered to the whims of the universe?

All jokes aside, I think we will all be forever in his debt. RIP good sir, even as we curse your name when we rip our models apart because they have stuck better to us than to themselves.

I never knew superglue was that modern, its saved lives - its been used to stop grunts bleeding out in vietnam. On the other hand he is also partially responsible for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK1EPP6uts0&feature=player_embedded

My best superglue story was at my old GW store, there was a story from before I arrived there, This kid had spent the day bored and 'pretending' to be asleep on the painting table upstairs in the battle bunker.
Well long story short, the point he chose for his head had spilt superglue from someone making models and they needed the fire service to get him out at closing.

In honour of all tasteless sticky situations


A salesman rang the door bell and little Johnny answered.

The salesman asked if his father was at home.
Little Johnny: "Yes."

The salesman: "Well, can I see him please?"
Little Johnny: "No, he is in the shower."

The Salesman asked if his mother was at home.
Little Johnny: "Yes."

The Salesman: "Well can I see her?"
Little Johnny: "No, she's in the shower too.."

The Salesman: "Do you think they will be out soon?"
Little Johnny: "No."

The salesman asked why.
Little Johnny: "Well, when my dad asked me for the vaseline I gave him some super glue instead." :eek:

Hmm. That story reminds me of the urban legend of the womanizing man who gets his "head" glued to his belly button. According to Snopes, that is one urban legend that proved too good not to be tried. :eek:
