Rock on, Cryer... Blazin' Saddles it was.

Wasn't that Robin Hood Men In Tights where they went around picking the right sized noose?

And the 1/2in stuff I have can hold about a ton with no problems. My thinner high quality stuff will hold more then his lousy thicker stuff. Plus the executioner doesn't get a bad rope burn.

And, mine is red and black, thats just plain cool.

oh yeah well my rope is weaved in quadruplets and pyros is in triplets
quad is much better than triple
vote 3/4ths

How do you know what PyRo's rope is like. I think PyRo is right, and we should all worship him.


ALL HAIL PYRO!!!

the awesomeness wouldnt happen to pyro under a second name, would it


I must admit, if I were to be hanged, with the choice of rope, I would look for something in Scarlet. Maybe a nice Burgandy...

Ill stick with my rock climbing rope...if you dont snap your neck the first time then maybe on one of the next bounces...

hanging yourself with bungee cord would be kinda cool

I like!

Hey Pyro are you volunteering to be our Hanging test dummy to check your theory?

[PyRo]

But barbwire will just get cought up in itself, and it won't do any killing.

[Cheeseball24]

how about dental floss

[AngelBoy]

Im with Pyro.

1/2 inch should do the job just fine. That stuff is definately strong enough to hold up a person too.

i prefer the use of a 12 gauge shotgun...but if the situations all wrong id probably just use my shoelaces...theyre pretty strong you know, and easily concealable.

and im guessing that some of you guys may like this game after reading this thread... http://www.goyk.com/flash.asp?path=54
