YSaC, Vol. 1616: Poly want a floater?
2 rolls of rope 5/8 ? floats poly ?
brought of of some cronicts
two five hundred foot rolls
e mail me a phone number
I was just reading about this – they thought cronicts were extinct, and then one washed up on the shore of a garden pond in Topeka. Just to be on the safe side, however, I think I’ll mail you the phone number of my local Chinese takeout place. You might like that, after all.
Thanks for the inexplicable, Lisa!
I wouldn’t buy anything from cronicts, but that’s just me. Enjoy your axe murder.
Possibly floating polypropylene rope bought from some Koranics.
I thought the Barbary Pirates were wiped out with the Otterman Umpire. Arrrgggh!
Whatever floats your parrot.
He’s not floating; he’s pining for the fjords.
Friends of mine (male), whilst camping, were queuing (USA = IN LINE) for the shower when they realised that the gorgeous women in front of them were too. They asked then where they were from (answer = Norway) and from the mouth of one male friend came the immortal words ” are you pining for the fijords”
Norwegian Blue…..beautiful plumage..!!!!
I was deeply saddened when Walter Cronicts retired. He was my favorite broadcast journalist.
I can tell it’s a Monday, as what is irritating me the most is the getting-to-be-all-too-common abuse of “off.” At least I take some (tiny) solace that “awf” (or “af”) was not used instead.
There is an odd (not “od”) juxtaposition of Spark’ being just bright enough to know that some poly(propelene) rope floats, but not bright enough to be able to measure it with any certainty.
(In case of need, when twisted strand line makes it difficult to measure the diameter, just measure the circumference and divide by pi.)
Seeing as how this is on spools of 500′ each, the dimensional information is probably printed on the side of the spool (if, possibly in confusing metric notation of being 16mm x 1525m, or the equally cryptic 5/8″ x 500′).
I shall now harumph off, CDR Corey style, into a bleary Monday (bleary for a cold front coming in).
I’ve tried to use rope to divide pie. You end up with meringue everywhere.
Floss is twisted up similarly to rope, and floss will divide some pies nicely (whole berry and fruit pies–not so much).
Scale matters, 5/8′ line might be just the ticket for a 30′ diameter pie . . .
Do you have any idea how long it would take me to smoke that much rope? Do you have any idea how many flies it would take to sate my appetite? Now? When flies are becoming scarce? Huh? Do you?
Floats! Who gives a rat whisker about floats?
Cronic [kron-ik] Noun Slang. Very potent Marijuana.
Parade organizers for one.
Towboat operators for another (not that they often have much call for anything as small as 5/8″ line other than as a flag hoist).
[Towing Corey]When a smaller vessel hauls a larger vessel (or a string of barges) the line used cannot be either elastic nor inelastic–it must have some “give,” just not too much.
It’s handy if the line used floats, as it can be drifted down to the tow for those times when getting too close is ill-advised.
However, tow lines (“hawsers” or “tow cable” in the trade) tend to be of stouter stuff than are in Spark’s febrile imaginings–8, 10, 12″ diameter lines are common for this sort of work. Lines made up around steel cores; or with steel set around a synthetic core are also common. The outer sheath of such lines, might, in fact, use 5/8″ diameter line–and quite a lot, thousands of feet.

I know that cronuts are the recent fad baked good – a mashup between a croissant and a donut. I guess a crovict is what happens when you mash up croissants and convicts.
So desserts baked in an electric chair?

Congratulations, NoJazz, you have just won Danny Bonaduce! Enjoy that. And be aware: we cannot guarantee he’s housetrained.
Uh, could I have Susan Dey instead? I mean, I’m not sure Danny has had all his shots…or maybe he’s had too many….thanks
Bought some of of cronicts? Dude, does it have a place to put your weed in there?
Y’all are trying to read this as is. You’re forgetting that since the Federal Government is back open and again reading our Craigslist posts, Sparky has had to go back to code. Fortunately for you all, I got this.
Sparky: 429 Brundlefly to much toast.
Net wt. 12 oz.
Fax me a zodiac sign.
That’s as clear as Mudsy, Tankergirl.
Virgo.
The worst part is, this post is nothing but Sparky’s Starbucks order, anyway.
There’s no price mentioned, so you may be right. However it wasn’t posted in the Free section, it was in the boats section. Sparky, not everything that floats is a boat.
Yeah, Starbucks is the cheapest place to get 500 foot rolls. It’s best to eat them there, though, otherwise they’re hanging out the back of your car and dragging along the road on your way to work.
Are foot rolls made by feet (kneading the dough) or made OF feet? Either way, DO NOT WANT

Must be the Gaelic spelling.
Jazzie, punchity punch punch ok? Witty repartee optional.
Good Morning, y’all.
