Blue Glue

   incredibly losing and bletcherous communications protocol
   widely favored at commercial shops that don't know any better.  The
   official IBM definition is "that which binds blue boxes
   together."  See fear and loathing.  It may not be irrelevant
   that Blue Glue is the trade name of a 3M product that is
   commonly used to hold down the carpet squares to the removable
   panel floors common in dinosaur pens.  A correspondent at
   U. Minn. reports that the CS department there has about 80 bottles
   of the stuff hanging about, so they often refer to any messy work
   to be done as `using the blue glue'.
