Seriously, did you hear something?

What bonds a friendship?

No, Chet...not a hot glue gun covered in Bubbleboy epidermal cells--keep yer unda'pants on already.

It's not Elmer's Glue (unless you're under age 10)

Not staples

Not velcro (that is like, sooo 1986 I could gag)

Not rubberbands

Not even the Randy go-to for sinking ships, Hypoxy.

It's certainly not the fruity, gooey hunk o Hubba Bubba that one has covertly managed to jam under one's chair (you know who you are!)

Hmmm, it's definitely not braiding each others hair and watching American Idol---in Smug Town this is also known as exchanging salt scrubs and watching snails screw (thhhhhannks!)

I decided to ask a glue expert and he suggested various forms of adhesives like:

acrylic adhesive
aerosol adhesive
anaerobic adhesive (and you know how I loathe cardio)
catalyst adhesive
conductive adhesive
cyanoacrylate adhesive
Epoxy
Glue Dots (if they taste like they sound I'll give em a whirl)
Hypoxy (sans the lit cigarette)
Hot Melt adhesive (if this is anything like a Hot Tuna sandwich, I'm out)
mastic adhesive
methacrylate adhesive
silicone adhesive (too easy, no comment)
solvent based adhesive
urethane (No! You're a thane!)
UV Curable (thank God, I'm all out of penicillin)
and finally, water based adhesive

But one would think that sharing a birthday would be enough to bond a friendship--apparently not.

Clearly nothing bonds a friendship like good ol gaffers tape and a gecko.

Thanks for your (you know who you are) pragmatic response during a sticky situation.
