Thinking Rope
Posted on April 27th, 2011
This is not a noose.
Fishing knots are so final, but a bowline is a simple feat of engineering and utility: The fortitude to hold a 6,000 pound boat to a mooring ball in a Noreaster, and then be untied in three seconds.
I have this section of orange rope in my office and it gets tied and retied, until I can think of something to say, or how to say it.
Sometimes it’s a vacuous time wasting activity, too, but it beats the hell out of Twitter.
At first glance I thought it was a noose, which come to think of it is also preferable to Twitter.
Good post. I shall Tweet about it.
Because I love irony, I’m going to tweet this post.
I’ll retweet your tweets, which will force me to log into my twitter account.
What’s with all the tweeting? Do you all have pet birds?
I have been trying to think of something novel to say about your post By I seem to be tongue tied.
