Thanks.
Yup. Too many examples to say this is intended as a political statement of some sort. Nobody made an issue of it before because they aren't sensitive to perceived racial sleights.
Not on your life. He’s got the that special melanin exemption. Or melatonin or tanin or whatever it’s called. He’s pigmentarily immune.

I did a search and learned that a similar knot to the noose is used to raise & lower sails on boats. It is also used for couple of other reasons in boating, though I can’t remember what, as I’m lucky to remember reading it was used to raise and lower sails in sailing.
Now, being an oppressed minority AND a victim of a hate crime, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
Not surprised. I believe people who sail use a lot of knots. I think it used to be a thing for sailors to know knots. :)
My biggest fear in CG Boot was failing the knot tying part.
Never forget that day in front of the Brass Rail

I guess they took "knot tying" very seriously. I would think it was an anachronism on modern ships, unless they were actual sailing vessels.
Glad you passed. :)

Hehehehe...perfect.
Perfect!
No noose is no news (to the press)
Noose is on the wrong end of the rope
Fvck this POS. Every garage I worked in had a rope such as this.
in the late 60’s it was or seemed to be as important as staying afloat after going over board.
Drown proofing was a big deal then too

Yeah, but those garages were completely demolished and rebuilt last year. Nearly all the old ones had loops tied in them and I’m pretty sure the ones on this new garage would be the same after a few years.
Looks like Bubba bailed early this afternoon...
