When i was overseas in Korea, we would cuss the Koreans eloquently in their own language--and they would just laugh. But when we cussed them in English, they'd get really, really p*ssed. Go figure . . .


I just can't imagine you as one of those loud mouthed ignorant Americans, Set.

@JTT,
It's a ladder rack knot, I believe.

I like knots. I know I'm twisted; but what can I say?

@neologist,
How long did it take you the first time? How fast can you do it now? What is that knot used for?

It's a fob. Can be used for key ring or pocket knife. Took about an hour for first, about 15 min now. Biggest problem is remembering right length of cord to limit waste.

@Roberta,
Yeah, but. . .Well, OK

@Lustig Andrei,
Given the title and the original post, I was expecting a lot more profanity (if not more intelligence).
