What would be the chicanada to prevent my shoe laces from untying themselves several times a day?

For me, touching the antennae while being in an uncomfortable angle for watching TV seems works the best.

Some of my favorites DIY chicanada projects:

1. Lemon and baking soda to clean car battery posts, yellow lemons work better for me, not more acid, just more juice.

2. A sawed-off convertible. My compa in high school had a white 59 Cadillac which we decided to convert one afternoon, we actually took the metal segueta to it. It looked real good from far away. real far.

3. Taking your old radio apart just to look at all the cool shit inside. I used to tap the soldered transistors with the screwdriver to "explore" how the circuits worked. Bzzzz!! Afro! Then could never put the damn thing together without leftover parts.

4. Upholstering with old t-shirts for car seat covers. Dont forget the sarape on the rear seat.

5. My own nunchucks with sawed broomstick and a piece of play-swing chain. Careful though, I almost nunchuked-off my balls a couple of times with those things.

6. A carved out apple to smoke my tobacco Laughing

7. Spit-wad blowers out of Bic's pens. A stealthy weapon, you can flip it into action and tag a fool 10 feet away, then put the cap back on and pretend you were taking notes. "Huh?? someone's throwing shit back there!!"

8. My own PDA out of 3" x 5" cards, saves batteries and about $200 http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/Hipster_PDA

9. This dude went way out and built a CPU out of brass water piping

that's all I can think off right now.

a) take off laces and attach velcro strap with gluegun
b) cut a slit on the shoe tongue with exacto knife and tuck them in
c) glue-gun the suckers to the tongue
d) get penny loafers
