What's a "Red Adhesive cup"? What is kissing your own lip? Why did Len Martin think the unbelievable part of the Tessica Brown story was whether it would be terrible to put Gorilla Glue in your hair rather than whether she really thought it wouldn't be terrible to put Gorilla Glue in her hair? These stories. Why am I blogging this when I didn't blog the original Gorilla Glue Girl story? I try, at least some of the time, to deny attention to people who are seeking attention or maybe only just getting too much attention, but this guy seems to exemplify the problem of people spending too much time isolated with their smart phone and idly, idiotically searching for something to do.

"A Louisiana man who thought 'Gorilla Glue Girl' Tessica Brown was 'lying' ended up in the emergency room himself after he applied the powerful adhesive to his lip."
"Len Martin, 37, said he tried out the Gorilla Glue challenge for himself after Brown to prove that it was 'not as serious as she was trying to make it'.... The aspiring rapper filmed himself gluing a Red Adhesive cup to his upper lip.... [H]e denied that he pulled the latest stunt for attention.
'I would never want to stick no Gorilla Glue to my lip and have it stuck there and go through all the situations that I had to go through,' Martin said.... 'You got Valentine’s Day coming up. I can’t even kiss my lip.'"

A tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Do you suppose I should warn them not to try this with CA glue (aka: Superglue)? Would they listen or would that incite them to try to prove me wrong?
Uh, is this post a trick?
Am I the only one to see the relationship between this and the n-word posts?
They meant a solo cup...
red solo cup is cheap and disposable
And in fourteen years, they are decomposable
And unlike my home, they are not foreclosable
Freddy, mac, can kiss my ass
Whoo!
...when you put Gorilla Glue on it or another surface and place the cup on it, it becomes a red adhesive cup...
I blame privileged wHITE! people.
These people are future Darwin Award Winners waiting to happen...
Hold by beer and watch this glue hold my beer cup...
"Am I the only one to see the relationship between this and the n-word posts?"
Well, this is one reason I didn't blog it before. I was wondering whether the whole thing wasn't a scheme to lure white people to say racist things. So please don't play into that! Don't be stupid. That would be even stupider than putting permanent, high-power glue in your hair. But I think Tessica Brown actually did just make a bad mistake, and the branding of the glue is just by chance and not any sort of playing with racial themes, such as the thing that got Roseanne Barr cancelled. Brown really did need extensive medical care, a procedure that took hours and would have cost $10,000 if the medical facility chose to bill her, rather than simply to help her.
I am not juxtaposing this with any other post for some sly racial reason. This was just the next story that crossed my bloggability line. I was already in the NY Post and noticed this in the sidebar.
"I just dropped in to check what my condition was in"

As if that mattered to any sane person.
This racism, sexism, homophobia bullshit obsession is hilariously stupid and obnoxious.
You can censor all you like, but every sentient human on the planet knows that the average black IQ is around 80.
We know this from experience and observation. You can shut people up through intimidation and punishment. I have no idea what that’s supposed to accomplish.
The stupid, its burns.
I have used Gorilla Glue (aka Carzy Glue) on small cuts for years. Heals cuts very quickly. Especially helpful in winter when your finger tips dry out and split. The gel is best, liquid not so much. Put a dab on, smooth it out and you're good to go.
What I like is people that don't read the directions. It makes for amusing YouTube videos. Rule of thumb. Don't glue anything you might want to take apart later. I'm talking to you red locktite people. Use the blue.
Stop putting warning labels on things, and let things sort themselves out......THIS is a prime reason why.
Monkey see, monkey do.
There used to be a hundred terms for people like this. Born with a very low IQ, and under-developed cognitive abilities.
We can't use those terms anymore, which means those people no longer exist. Everyone is born smart, and the only thing holding them back is the patriarchy--white privilege--and all the -isms under the sun.
I say this first before expressing my dismay at the comments mocking a man that appears to be slow-touched-retarded, etc.
It does not elevate you.
"Do NOT observe and then comment upon any jaw-dropping stupidity if it's a Black person deliberately doing the stupidity because that would be racist. Censor yourselves immediately!"
How condescending of you.
I tried this on my keyboard.
Help.
And if you point and/or laugh at either of these rocket scientists you are de facto a RACIST.
Super glue was just becoming popular when I was in Jr High School. Guys would glue their fingers together for fun. Acetone would help release it. Another trick was to super glue a quarter to a walkway and watch kids try and pick it up. You could buy a cinnamon roll during recess for a quarter back then.
"But I think Tessica Brown actually did just make a bad mistake, and the branding of the glue is just by chance and not any sort of playing with racial themes..."
Until you mentioned racial themes (whatever they are), I didn't think there was any more to the story than somebody doing something stupid. I had no idea the brand of the glue was in any way relevant. I guess I don't get out enough.
This is an unintentionally racism trap post because Althouse said she didn't "intend" it to be. You people just can't help yourselves.
Just like the Capitol insurrection. With no claimed or overt intent, anything bordering on or looking like incitement still has a Pavlovian trigger effect on deplorables... Unexpectedly
Somewhere, deep in Florida a man rolls over in his bed and whispers, “challenge accepted”, before drifting off again.
@Howard,
You choose your driving routes through the city to avoid “bad” black neighborhoods.
Unless you’re an idiot with a suicide wish.
2/3rds of the white hipsters living in the Hudson Valley moved there from NYC to escape black violence, although they’d never admit it.
Once safely out of range, they like to lecture other people on racism, white flight and gentrification.
There are quite a few terms for a stupid, backward white person, and I can type them in without the prof’s objection:
o Hillbilly
o White trash
o Redneck
Etc.
Super glue can be dissolved with acetone, which is unpleasant on the skin. The urethane glue that is gorilla glue is much harder to dissolve, but acetone works a little, and Goo Gone supposedly works, too. Goo Gone is a bunch of petroleum distillates with either coconut oil or limonene in it. Neither acetone nor Goo Gone is good to get on your skin.
SO DON'T PUT GORILLA GLUE ON YOURSELF.
Humperdink,
Gorilla Glue isn't Super Glue. Superglue is a cyanoacrylate based glue, Gorilla Glue is a polyurethane based glue.
Super Glue can be used as an emergency wound closing (and some other cyanoacrylate glues are medical grade wound closing agents) as it only has minor chemical reactions with skin, though off the shelf Super Glue has other ingredients that can cause chemical burns. Gorilla Glue should not be used this way as the polyurethane definitely reacts with the moisture in the skin.
It's Gorilla Glue because it is super strong, like a gorilla. If you see a gorilla and think of black people, or vice versa, then you are the racist.
You know what WOULD remove the Gorilla Glue?
a mixture of aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid
I guarantee it would remove the glue. Might have "some" undesirable side affects though.
WOULD make an AWESOME you tube video
seriously, i Use Gorilla Glue, and i've found that gasoline does a pretty good job of removing it from your hands (do NOT use gasoline on your head!!! in fact, don't you use gasoline on Your hands either! gilbar is a reckless individual that does MANY things that YOU SHOULDN'T DO! )
It's always the "aspiring rappers".
It’s only a matter of time before the Gorilla Glue Challenge intersects with another American fad: Sticking an object in your ass, driving to the ER, and begging to have it removed.
Ah... Biden voters... how Cosmopolitan!
Let me guess, these are some of the folks who ate Tide Pods...
Andrew Weil, MD: "I’ve applied super glue on heel cracks and other minor cuts and have found it to work really well. Its wound-sealing attributes were noted in the Vietnam War, when field medics used it before sending wounded soldiers on to surgery. The glue stems bleeding and has been used for that by athletes and veterinarians to deal with small cuts. Some dermatologists recommend a different brand, Krazy Glue, to seal paper cuts. I’ve also heard that stringed-instrument players sometimes make protective “fingertip caps” out of the glue."

Do you like Gorilla Glue?
I do not like it, Sam-I-Am.
I do not like Gorilla Glue.
Would you like it in here or there?
I would not like it here or there.
I would not like it in my hair.
The STUPID is STRONG in these ones.
I admire this guy's commitment to the scientific method.
I don't understand why that woman didn't just cut her hair. Am I missing something?
"Aspiring rapper."
I'm reminded of a Heinlein quote: “Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.”
I don't understand why that woman didn't just cut her hair.
The glue penetrated to her scalp.
"I don't understand why that woman didn't just cut her hair. Am I missing something?"
She would have had to shave her head. She'd just plastered her hair tightly to her scalp. Even shaving... it would be hard to see how to do it. But she didn't want to lose all her hair.
The white man is pretty clever.
It's useful for the stupid to mark themselves so that others don't need to waste time with them.
If Gorilla Glue wants a spokesperson to speak to the strength and effectiveness of their product, who better? It's a natural fit, like Bruce Springsteen and Jeep.....People here are commenting on her stupidity, but she'll probably end up rich and famous. Anybody can be stupid, but this is an act of stupidity that goes far beyond the ordinary limits of stupidity. Biden tried something similar in order to keep his hair, and it was much more expensive and painful. I don't see anyone here criticizing Biden for being stupid, the way they do this poor girl.
I wonder what they do in the ER. Do the doctors have some sort of chemical that dissolves the glue? Just asking in advance, because I just don't believe gorilla glue is that powerful!
Because of this crazy story I've learned (1) that there are products called "hair glue"; and (2) there is a brand of hair gel called "Gorilla snot" or "moco de gorila."
Yeah, I'm bored, but not brain dead bored...
Speaking about bored and brain dead, according to internet sources, Jeep 🚙 is gonna lay back with the Bruce Springsteen, Authentic American ads until we have forgotten The Boss's alcoholic transgressions. Actually, his idiotic behavior could be considered the epitome of American loutishness. Buy that Jeep! Guzzle that beer!
I know, I know, let’s require a glue purchase license. Then we can establish state agencies to oversee the required training for glue appl .... slap, slap .... thanks, I needed that.
As I’ve not seen evidence that any commenters have done so, I’ll address the gorilla in the room:
***3M Spray Adhesive Glue*** would’ve been a better choice.
She would have had to shave her head. She'd just plastered her hair tightly to her scalp. Even shaving... it would be hard to see how to do it. But she didn't want to lose all her hair.
Perhaps she could get a few hot tips from Alopecia Pressley (D-MA 7th District)?
Who put gorillas in teh glue?
Who, who, who, who, who?

Left side of the bell curve, baby.
Please pray they don't have kids...
Loctite makes cyanoacrylic glue in Puerto Rico. In the 90s I sold them a filling-capping machine.
I was working on it one day and accidently put my hand in a puddle of it.
I glued myself to the machine and had to stand there fo 20 minutes until the came back from lunch.
A little acetone freed me up.
The also made the red and blue Loctite there. Every time I visited them the would give me some from the reject bin. I probably had 20-30 bottles at one point.

I'd never used gorilla glue until a few years ago when I got my first 3d printer.
I tried a couple of different glues but the only one I found that works well with PLA material is gorilla glue. I like the way it foams slightly to fill gaps.
John Henry
Am i the only one or doesn't gorilla glue sound racist as hell?
from the perspective of the current climate, of course.
When you are bored with this, look up the Cinnamon Challenge on YouTube. More stupid on display!
We'll probably have to get Gorilla Glue from a locked cabinet now, retrieved by certified sales professional that checks your ID to ensure you are old enough.
"checks your ID to ensure you are old enough."
"Tessica Brown, the 40-year-old woman who went viral for using Gorilla Glue on her hair, is recovering from surgery to remove the polyurethane adhesive."
Hmmmmm...
