Must be someone who clearly used insufficient duct tape in his last kludge.
Nah, I remember that gravestone from Resident Evil 4. That’s where they hid the rocket launcher.
That one made laugh out loud…
No trepassing! There is a corpse here.
I hope the duct tape’s just there while the Gorilla glue dries.
“Thi’ll keep them their zombize inna ground. Ah betcha.”
If not, thats why we got our shotguns.
Hmmm, not sure. Better upgrade this with zipties.
They’re stronger than I am. I mean, I can never hold it together at funerals.
Here lies an enginerd. RIP.
Here lies the inventor of Duct Tape.
Damn thats a pretty graveyard. Aside from the failstone

Zombie pranks
Lazy groundskeeper couldn’t pony up some mortar and fix it properly? Such desecration.
the one who kept on kludging…. even after death…
Classic !
oopz.. can’t anything else had been thought of
Hey corpse, you don’t like, complain… I’m waiting.
“Fix up my gravestone with duct tape? Over my dead body!”
A gravestone? This is by far the wildest kludge yet. It’s kind of normal, relatively speaking, to patch up your truck or chair or computer, but a monument?
This looks like a 19th-century tombstone for somebody important in a minor way, like a senator or judge or just somebody with money.
A close look shows that it has a facing on it, probably of fancy but delicate stone (marble?) over limestone or concrete. There is a name visible on the left side. I can’t read it. It looks like MACY, but with an extra letter. WACTYN? Probably people who are into genealogy could interpret it at a glance.
Since it’s in a graveyard, it would be easier to interpret it if you were into Cryptology.
It was prolly whoever spelled Crips wrong.
Rest In Pieces.
Which just means, “Use more duct tape.”
I am sure that I have seen this gravemarker.
Eugene has recently experienced freezing weather. I suspect that the duct tape is being used as a clamp while the mortar sets.
This cemetery dates from the 1860′s, please be polite.
I was just sitting here wondering what asshole would bust up a monument like that. It hadn’t occurred to me that it could be weather related. Weight off of my mind, thanks! And yes, respect for this one would be lovely.
If this is the cemetery I am thinking of, it was vandalism. There is this old beautiful cemetery in Eugene and some jerks came and busted up most of the headstones and things.
My question is, who gets to jigsaw together all the little pieces at the bottom? Does that entail another “round” of duct tape? Wouldn’t you want a sign or something stating that there was restoration under way to keep people from removing pieces of the marker?
I spend way too much time at a cemetary where there are similar grave markers. These typically date from the early 1900′s and since I see no evidence of flowers etc maybe the grave is from a person with no family here. Probably a caretaker is trying to mortar it back together. We have many religious statues that are from the same time missing hands etc. They were not granite back then but a concrete type of substance. Maybe limestone or sandstone as I’m guessing. I know the grave I visit is solid granite and will never see that kind of wear under normal circumstances. For 8K it better not!
RIP Red Green!
So, what does the coffin look like?
Duct tape? I would have used spirit gum.
and dono does it again!
‘Til duct do us part.
COD: For not ducting. If he had, the bullet would not have hit him.
Tim Taylor’s grave!
The zombie apocolypse is really taking its toll on the cemetary groundskeeping budget…
gives Duct Tape 4 evah!!!11!!!1! a much more eternal meaning
They say he was a chip off the old block yet everyone took him for granite.
How many years of bad luck is that again?
Actually there is nothing wrong with the stone.
Mr.X testament stated that all belongings goes to his mistress.
This is Mrs.X revenge for Mr.X’s last request:
-”I want my tombstone to be made in pure silver.”
Now that is one way to ritualistically bind a spirit.
Awesome! I see this gravestone when I’m walking to class- it’s on the University of Oregon campus. Hilarious.
This was a grave mistake.
Richard Dean Anderson died?
Actually, as info – I believe this is the temporary holder while mortar sets, at a Cemetery not far from my home.
Three people decided to show up at this old cemetery and do as much damage as possible. Destroying headstones, starting fires, etc.
Sadly, this appears to be a common issue in this area. I’ve been to old cemeteries where there are holes dug to the coffins, many destroyed markers, graffiti, and worse.
This time, the idiots were caught. I think it would be appropriate to bury them up to their necks and then carve on what’s above ground.
I thought baling wire and chewing gum is the proper way to take care of these situations.
When did Red Green die?
…Man, this is close to where I live. I feel even more like a redneck than ever before.
This is the grave of Count Duckt-ula.
“Here rests MacGyver”
“Rest in pieces”? Not if I can help it!
Incontrovertible proof that duct tape does indeed fix all manner of grave situations.
What’s really sad is that to satisfy our “safety elf” and insurance, we have to mark any slightly wobbly stones in our churchyard with black & yellow stripey tape and a big notice declaring the monument unsafe.
It saves yahoos having to search for wobbly ones to push over!
The Tomb of the Unknown Redneck.
you should have seen the single wide he left his kids.
lol duct tape fixes EVERYTHING!!!
Looks like a contemporary-meets-classic art piece.
