 Located near the Tacoma Zoo, I had to snap this during a trip to the see the animals! I think everything about this photo; the composition, the subject matter, the coloring says TACKY! But then again, that IS the challenge.

At least got the message across to the neighbors and persons driving by. And, I know how hard it is to cut out an "R" using duct tape.

kind of a boring picture, but it made me laugh and fits the challenge very well. I like that the home owner was spirited enough to duct tape up a holiday message, but couldn't be bothered enough to make it any more festive.

I recently saw a car that was totally duct taped...they even made a spoiler on the back out of duct tape...I wonder if they live in that house!... Nahh, they probably would't of had enough tape left over to make that sign

I got a good kick out of this picture. I think a good roll of duct tape makes everything better.

This got a laugh from me - Great title - I hope it's not your garage ;) A bit tighter on the letters would be better.

Funny, but it would be a more interesting shot if you got closer to the garage. All the otehr stuff is just distracting clutter.
