After stocking up for "supplies"

[sb2009]

and were to get stopped by the cops and searched....would they think you were planning horrific acts?

My husband came back from the store yesterday with a ton of rope, duct tape, hooks, etc. He had me laughing my ass off with a funny monologue of what a cope would say.

"Got any plans tonight sir? Thinking about some assault? Planning on tieing someone up and raping them? Why don't you come on down to the station for a little chat..."

I wouldn't buy your 'supplies' at the PX if I were you.

You should know, Sir, that bondage tape works much better than duct tape. In the long run it's cheaper and you can re-use it. Also, it doesn't stick to your skin, so there's less DNA for the CSI people to find, after the fact.

Let's see what else you have here...you've done well by getting the 1/4 inch nylon rope. It's more flexible and doesn't leave rope burns as bad...unless you tie it pretty tight. Also knots stay tighter longer, with nylon.

Be sure you melt the ends with a flame, if you plan to cut all of this into shorter lengths. It's better than putting tape around the end or tying a knot. And it just looks more professional to the guys out on the scene as well as to the boys in the lab. Everybody is more impressed, when they see a professional's work on the recovered body.

OK, Sir, you can be on your way, now. Keep the speed down and have a nice day.

Yes, but duct tape can be explained away as an at-home treatment for wart removal.

Very innocuous.

ROFL see, you guys are so funny!

He's been playing with the rope all day long.

So long as he's not inadvertently teaching precocious children how to make a hangman's noose, you should be ok.

You poor baby. When do you get to play with the rope?

Ok, there has GOT to be a story behind this comment. Dish.

One of my nephews is very much your typical 'country boy' and has been since he could walk. I'm talking asked for every kind of tape known to man for every gift giving holiday till he like six and everyone bought him the tape just to shut him up.

Well, he was second grade and him and the other kids were watching TV in the living room while my brother and sister-in-law sat at the kitchen table and chatted. My brother had brought a length of rope in from the garage for some reason or another and was fiddling with it... Then he started going through all the knots he knew how to tie.

So, the two of them sitting there talking and my nephew wonders in and sits down at the table to drink some juice. He saw my brother tie the hangman's knot, undo it, and tie it again. Then he asks 'What kind of knot is that?'

Being in second grade, my brother gave him the more kid appropriate wild west version of the history of the noose. Kid's happy and he goes back in the living room to watch TV.

Less than a week later my sister-in-law gets a call. From his teacher. Seems my dear nephew's class had started a section on the Oregon trail... You know the wild west.

Yeah. Teacher had a length of rope and was asking the kids to do some creative problem solving about what it could have been used for way back in the day. Nephew volunteers, goes to the front of the class, and proceeds to tie a hangman's noose. Perfectly. The shocked teacher wants to know what that is (not a bright woman, BTW), so he starts to tell her... All about how they use to hang outlaws and horse thieves.


He was very upset that he didn't get to finish explaining all he knew....

That SO sounds like something my brother would do.

Yeah... these four take the cake, even for our corner of the gene pool. Great kids though, especially if you can laugh at life.

Funny story, chy_girl. I really needed that laugh.
