(DoN. Nichols) quickly quoth:

According to Larry Jaques :

You forgot to ask "Is that a real carabiner, or a Searz carabiner?"

Actually, those are Home Depot fake (small) carabiners. But I
do have real carabiners, where I am more concerned about the
load-carrying capability. The fake ones are nice for hanging keys from
my belt, at least. :-)

Just remember: NEVER trust your life to one.
I wonder how many Darwinian awardees there are for using a Searz
carabiner for rope tricks.


(And I doubt there are many readers of this newsgroup who are real
fashion plates, Don. Hell, I keep clothes around so long that some
of my 70s shorts are back in style. Wanna by a pair of gently used OP
wide-wale corduroy shorts?)

Hmm ... I no longer fit into my 70s clothes -- but I probably
still have some of them around. :-)

I still can't believe they're back in style.
