Hey Nick

A squid that didn't tie knots???? Heck, I thought that's all you folks did. How'd you keep those birdies on the deck?

Yeh, I was in the air farce and we didn't have rope. Our planes just had 4' thick concrete walls around them to keep them from going anywhere.

I used to cheat, when I tied a knot that was suppose to stay there, I just lit amatch and melted a part of the knot together and it wasn't going anywhere. I never was a scout either.

Probably should wait till everyone has injested as much chocolate and ham and eggs as they can handle and I'm sure someone can give you something pretty to tie. I'll be watching as I need to learn this as well.
