The 'What the fuck!' thread

It's a funny label definitely. I might trust that rope,... I might use it to tie down the tarp over the load in the back of the truck for example. To be honest I have a number of ropes made from fibers unknown to me. There are some I do really know, sisal, nylon, polypropylene, but not all of them.

I might buy that at the dollar store.

[Happy Monkey]

There's a difference between fibers you don't know, and fibers the manufacturer doesn't know...

To be confident, you'd have to quadruple it to hang yourself.

Someone probably got a steal on a huge spool of rope at an auction, and they packaged it up in 50 foot sections for resale. BU they didn't know what they had.

False advertising, blatantly false. There is no place in Thorndike, MA that looks like that... or the rest of the state for that matter.

[Diaphone Jim]

There is hardly a place called Thorndike at all, but bluesman Taj Mahal came from there, sort of.
Since you are sheltering in place anyway:

No shit, Taj Mahal?
I didn't know that and I grew up in Hampden County.

I think the Robot Toilet Overlords ane getting out of hand, before you know it Bears won't be allowed to shit in the woods anymore.

I don't even want to *think* about trying to clean and sanitize all that, let alone actually try to, after an episode of turboDiarreha.

I saw him live twice in a high school auditorium about 20 years ago and he was just fabulous

He was going to be my 1st actual live show at a student center 40 years ago, and the show was cancelled.
...and I *still* haven't seen him live.

[Diaphone Jim]

He is in several takes in the super duper "Playing for Change" series. Check YouTube.

[burns334]

After thinking a little it probably was about 1990 that I saw him, he was in a grammar school auditorium in East Windsor, NJ, Beau, you should be jealous, he was great

It's the roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd, makes small venues exciting.

I've been watching The Man In The High Castle and have been really annoyed by the scenes in the supposed "Poconos" with their mature Temperate Rain Forest of cedars and redwoods and majestic 12,000 feet snow capped mountains. Not to dis the Poconos, but all they've got are really just hills.
