A too expensive stocking stuffer...

DoryMan with a good point/link, some needful reading, and 39 minutes well spent...

This is kinda cool. How to tie eight knots on a coffee cup.

I came across it on a popup ad while looking for something or other on some boat related site and it makes a lot of sense. Of course, as a product aimed at boaty folk, it's silly expensive at around $40 and change.

So expensive in fact, that I won't bother with a link because it's just embarrassing what folks who should know better will spend on things of a nautical nature. Plus anyone dumb enough to spend that kind of money for a cheap cup with a bit of string just might wind up hanging themselves while trying to do a sheet bend or drowning in their morning coffee.
