If someone said that to me.. I would think they wanted to lock up their bike with those funky shaped U locks.

Does that rhyme with happy?? :confused:

Silly Silly Elgin, a Frappe is like but completely different from a milkshake. Milkshakes are usually thinner in consistancy and less viscous then the Frappe. A frappe might as well just be blended ice cream. Andy Grady you of all people should know the difference and know that you can't compare the two like they are the same.

Ok,

Its not Tie Wraps, Cable Ties, or Bar-Loks.

Who uses Tie Wraps to wrap things together?

or

Who uses Cable Ties to tie just cables?

or

Who uses Bar-Loks to lock just bars together?

You can only use the terminology above if you are using Zip Ties specifically for the purpose in which their name implies...

A Zip Tie always zips things together, but then again they don't really tie.

:ahh:

No, I still call them ty-wrap, you just aren't listening.

I call 'em chew toys.

Nothing takes the stress out of a regional like mashing a bit of textured plastic between your teeth. It's kind of like smoking, but with fewer carcinogens (I think). Once you start doing it, you can't quit.

I would say "oh look, your shoe is untied!"

then wack the person over the head with said pole, and run like 60!
