Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Fixers! In honor of the patron saint of Ireland, I will be getting wasted at work showing my support with green tinted kludges! If you’re not the celebrating sort, non-green versions are available by clicking on the photos. Now who wants to limbo? -Ms. Fix-It

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are falling
From end to end, and soon will come the sludge
The plumber’s gone, because I was name calling
‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must kludge.

Copy & paste this:
Green tinge? Check. Industrial, ‘This building can be destroyed annnnnyyyy second by machine guns’ look? Check. Yep. This is The Matrix.
once the green paint dries, the support can be removed.

Phew… another disaster at the nuclear power plant averted.
Always wanted a toilet drain pipe going through a living room!
I’m really hoping that that *is* a drain pipe, because it looks like a stovepipe bunged through to vent a heater in the next room. Black water would be a lot safer.
Limbo for Leprechauns!
Drape some fishnet over and tack it down somehow and you’ve got yourself a nifty play area for the kids! With heat!
Here we see the North American Wooden Standing Snake. Observe as he places his jaws around the hampster pipe. As soon as the hampster passes through, the jaws will clamp and capture the critter. Sadly, however, this particular Wooden Standing Snake has unknowingly placed his jaws on a metal hampster pipe, and will most likely injure himself should he smell a passing hampster.
Please, people — this is art! This kludge is not unlike Salvador Dali’s ‘paranoiac-critical’ style. Note the propping of the limp pipe in what can only be described as a spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivation of delirious association and interpretation. I think we can all agree that this work truly represents the kludger’s personal obsession and fantasy with its meticulously-fashioned execution, producing somewhat of a trompe-l’œil effect…
Wow. That’s exactly what I thought when I viewed this! Either that, or it might be my apartment from college.
My money’s on the latter…
With the exception of the vent pipe, I think moving the washer and dryer into the living room really helped open up the view from this window.
slainte “gulp” now 4 a wee bit of limbo
Every so often, you actually run into some real world example/application of what you learned in school. It’s very rare that you identify it as such, but it happens. This picture demonstrates the Cartesian coordinate system.
Someone has labeled the Y axis and X plane (the floor) for us with wood. Unfortunately, we have no point of origin (or O) for the pipe since it disappears into two other planes (the walls). Therefore, some substitutions must be made for calculating the formula of the path that the pipe takes.
We have to take the mass (M) of the material and the effect that gravity (G) has on said pipe into consideration. The two lengths (L) of the pipe connect to form an angle (θ). So, if memory serves, the formula for calculating the Kludgidean transformation becomes x^2 + y^2 = OMG(LθL).
Upon substituting actual values for the unknown variables, everything simplifies and becomes: “How low can you go?”
I was actually mulling over the x and y, but I found myself unwittingly stuck in limbo after that. So I guess my answer is, “Not low enough.”
Since the option to smoke indoors in public facilities was prohibited by law the need to take a quick inhale using the nearest window became so frequent that the owner decided to set up a riot fence to keep people from getting hurt.
So, the other day, a man walked into a bar…
