    fuck that.

    I see no reason to have a noose as the loop for a handicapped maintenance dude. A simpler knot with fewer loops would be easier to put up and use. I haven't read about the nascar thing, it just seems like you're trying really hard to justify that knot being the same as a fixed loop
    Again I would strongly encourage you to make your loop knots, hang from your tree In your front yard and invite a young man from the Bronx to partake in your tree climbing fun.

    It’s so funny here that you would think someone not raised in the suburbs or mountains would have the experience or inclination to tell the difference between a loop knot, or noose.

    When maybe they actually employ and encourage true participation by others.
    However I’m glad their sins are atoned for with a quick cut of a knife and march down the track.

    all or nothing is not the only solution
    and
    pretending this is "atoned for" now is foolish








    you just seem like you are trying to win on the internet
    maybe just stop

    No offense dude but you are tying yourself in knots over a noose.

    Is it just garage #4 that's in Florida?

    Because the rest of the track is in Alabama.

    perhaps it was for a guy who cleans it and has a hook hand blown off from an ied.
    If I had a hook I'd be pissed of that the noose tightened around it every time I shut the garage door. And I'd curse the almost certainly racist prick who hung it there every-time I got my hook stuck.

    Talladega Superspeedway is as far North as Birmingham and Atlanta GA.

    I missed this in the original post, and when I read yours I thought "no way anyone speculated that for real", but sure enough...

    And if I was the guy who cleaned it and had a hook I'd really be pissed, because surely it was my job to clean more than just garage #4; after all I have been informed that these garages are very rarely used, so surely my job includes cleaning more than just that one garage, and none of the other garages have nooses -- excuse me, looped ropes -- to help pull down the garage door.

    This whole thing is utterly ridiculous. It's a noose. Maybe it hasn't been seen by a human since October, but it was surely seen in October as the video makes clear. Maybe it was a Halloween prank, sure, that's possible. But the skeleton is long gone and the noose remains, so even if it was a prank, still seems possible it was a racist themed prank.

    Yes, ncskier, we know not everyone in the south is a racist, and there are non-racist possibilities for this "looped piece of rope". I can accept that's possible. Can you accept that maybe there is some racism associated with the looped piece of rope that sure looks like a noose and has been hanging there for 8+ months? If so, can we all sing kumbaya and move to another topic in this racist shitstorm we live in?

    Let's all just use the bowline from now on?

    Plus if you've got a hook you can tie it with one hand after a little practice.

    Is there a knot-knerd thread here?

    I think the southern states would have eventually been forced to stop slavery. But who knows how long.

    And would World War Two have been won by just the northern states? Perhaps

    Meh

    Im not inclined to jingoism and oorah

    But I’m not sure Hitler would have been defeated without USA USA USA

    Since then? We’ve really fucked up in international affairs. Too many bankers wars. Too many wars of political distraction. Too many lives ruined. On all sides. War sucks.

    PS, my “just” comment was about just the northern states being able to help the allies in ww2. Without the southern states

    No, I probably wouldn't. Where are you going with this, anyway? If your point is that it's a bad idea to put up something that looks like a noose in public then I agree with you. Are we done now?

    That is the bowline, right?

    Are you sure that wasn't an episode of Bugs Bunny where Elmer Fudd is hunting him?
