Indeed I did. Add Ben Stiller to my list of alleged comedians I've
never seen but am certain are not funny.

I would include Jim Carrey but I have seen him in something. I was
tricked into seeing "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" by reviews
that said, in essence, even if you don't like Jim Carrey, you'll like
him in this. I hated the movie, but I thought Carrey was good as the
shy dork, but the parts where he was supposed to be funny (being his
toddler self) were cringingly unfunny.

Spot movies at the laundry mat?

Dan, I think you need to check the groups you are mailing to. Doesn't seem
to be relevent to rpca.

I agree with this psot.

Saw an interesting hand-out yesterday: Six knots every boater should
know.

Is there a consensus in the group about which six knots, hitches, or
bends would be most important? It might be fun to compare with the
group listed on the hand-out.

These are the only knots I know, and they seem to work for all my
applications.

Bowline, half hitch, clove hitch, sheet bend, a figure eight (a stop
knot) and a Reef knot.

I am not including the knot I use to belay a cleat, because I really
don't know if it has a name. It is basically a figure 8 around the
cleat, and with a twist on the last figure 8.

I hate to admit that I probably only use 3-4 knots most of the time.
At least 3-4 that have official names. :-) Bowline, clove hitch, half
hitch, square knot. Could probably do a sheet bend if I puzzled on it
long enough, but I can't remember the last time I had a need to bend
two lines together. Plus of course belaying a cleat, as you mentioned.

That last twist is called a half-hitch.

I say Bowline, square not, clove hitch, sheet bend, round turn and 2
half hitches, rolling hitch. ... but I don't fish.

You left out the square knot. But maybe you only wear slipon's or velcro
closed shoes.
