The other day I was recording a vocal track, and noticed that I was getting massive peaks on words that started with the letter "P". Lacking a pop screen, I made an impromptu screen out of a paper plate and a coffee filter. This got me wondering If any of my fellow ubuntu-studio users had similar experiences; Share your best story of jury-rigged equipment Here !

A clothes hanger, duct tape, and a ladies nylon stocking stolen by a
student from his mom's bureau.

+1 on the stockings. Although I use actual pop filters purely for the aesthetics, especially for paying clients. Functionally there's not a significant difference. There was so many 'panty runs' in first year uni - send someone from the session to go to the shops and buy metal coat hangers, stockings and more red bull. A group of guys buying womans stockings can invoke some interesting looks.

Rig-less approach.* Sing slightly over the center of the mic and angle it up toward your mouth.* Then you can also control your hard consonants.*

There's a great article in Tape Op that talks about using a pencil taped
in front of the capsule.

I have some synthetic scarves I bought for teaching parent-child music classes.* I used a hideously colored one as a pop filter.* I can filter pops, and spare the kids from the horrible pukey green scarf.** But I don't have a way of attaching it to the mic stand.

The quickest fix for a pop filter that ever used was a sock fresh from the drier. Recorded a wole album with that...
