I saw a middle-aged gentleman addressing a stiff headset today. His technique was to pour motor oil directly from a quart bottle over the headset.
Top that.

Left-hand drive on an OPC BMX bike. I don't know how they dealt with the freewheel as I didn't stop to mess with it. Perhaps it was a fixie?
Interesting hack though, I hope they used loctite on the pedal threads.
Yes, yes! Best story around. Please submit to The New Yorker - somewhere!

Now admittedly I was 8 years old, but I hacksawed part of the rear triangle of a old bike to get the chain off. (Of course once I got it off I noticed that I couldn't get it on the other bike I wanted it without removing a link which is how I started teaching myself bad bike mechanics...)
Since then I've found it much more cost/time effective to take most of my repairs to the LBS.
