Wouldn't that more appropriately be "Bahhhh-Lok" up your way Grady? Seems to me like this conversation, with all of its history/pathology, can easily be explained with three simple facts:
1. This is a Kleenex/tissue debate
2. New Englanders usually misname and mispronounce things, we just accept it.
3. They're Zip-Ties anyway!!!

It looks like Andy's got a little bit of the Mick Jagger pout thing going on with that "lower lip" of his. :D

Did you give him that "25' Wicked Awesome 9-Pin Male-to-Female D-Subminiature Serial Communication Facilitator" as well???? :)

It was so much fun to finally pull this off. I've meant to bring a bag for years, but always forgot until this year.

Now 7ish years worth of debates are over! ;)
Thanks for being a good sport, Baker.

Zip Tie


Bar lok

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

Zip-ties, or at worst, cable ties (THE BAG EVEN SAYS CABLE TIES!!! ;) )
Bar-loks? No way!

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

I come from CT and I buy my Zip Ties at Tag Sales and on the way home I stop somewhere & eat a Grinder and drink some Soda.

End of story.

Ya, he'll probably never really call them Bar-Loks, they'll always be good ole zip-ties.

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

You are supposed to ignore that part on the bag that says cable ties. They are in fact BAR-LOKS!

Darn you people are stubborn!

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

There Andy is this better. It doesn't say cable ties anymore.

A Bar Lock is what you use to keep them out of the booze.

Now why does it say that on the bag of zip ties Andy is holding ? :confused:

:p Don

So what's all the fuss about that bag of Tyraps?

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

they are not zip ties or bar-loks..they are tie wraps!!!

Re: pic: Andy Baker joins team Bar-Lok
 

Well, this is the first I've ever heard of this debate. (First I've ever heard of "Bar-Lok", for that matter. :)) If this were a poll, I would vote "zip tie". :p

Edit: I just did a quick search for a poll but didn't find one, we must be slipping.

At the IRI, we will only allow zip-ties on the robots. There will be a specific rule banning anything called a "bar-lok" - plan accordingly.

we buy Zip-Ties just about everywhere

i would also like to point out that eveery establshment in the city that has tried to sell "Grinders" has gone out of business, while the companies that sell SUB SANDWICHES continue to thrive.

and we don't drink soda, we drink Cokes (even if it is a Pepsi).

Anyone else notice that Andy has a modified Joe Matt pose going on in this picture?
