Using my Thinker

King J has a favorite little toy.   The original 6 sided, 9 square rubiks cube. 

 

Looking at his desk you would see he has quite the collection.  He has a 12 square, a 3 square, a Homer Simpson head and many other versions.  But nothing comes close to his favorite. 

 

It's the first one he got right after he started working with Hanjin.  He wanted something to do with his hands while he was on the phone with customers.  So as you can imagine.  It has seen better days since he has been working there for almost 12 years. 

 

Well he brought it home a few weeks ago and said he had been looking online for ways to lube it up so it would turn easier.  (who knew there were forums for such a thing, apparently it's made up of people who compete in tournaments)  Also how to fix the stickers because they were all curling up and sticky around the edges.

 

I suggested we just splurge the 6-7 bucks and get a new one.  But it just wouldn't be the same for King J.  He has a history with this little guy.  So he found the store that sold the particular type of lubricant suggested and it turns like a charm.  He asked if I could modge podge all the stickers down like many of the pro's suggest.  I thought that might cause more of a problem than be very helpful. 

 

But it gave me an idea.  Nail Polish!!
