3M's 1957 Scotch Tape ad makes me want to go out and buy office supplies.

Five Fun Friday Ads :P

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Big fan of scotch tape, I use their peel-less double side tape for all my crafty work, just think, how does it even work? 2 sticky side that doesn’t stick to each other??? 50 year later they  still looks the same (^_^) I for one will keep buying them, resist cheap supermarket imitations!

    Roll of Scotch?  If you really want to see UFOs, try a bottle of Scotch instead.

  • Nadreck

    Nice to see a pleasing variety of saucers for once.  Not everyone is from Zeta Reticuli you know.

  • Palomino

    Used to be you got records with your Goodyear Tires….both the records and  the tires made great UFO’s.
