Re: duct Tape Roundup



I LOVE duct tape and besides it will be entertaining to see how long it
takes this thread to get "hijacked" into a political debate. :)

Nice. My son the submariner [1] calls duct tape 'EB green'.
Apparently, Electric Boat [2] has a special colour green duct tape so
that employees can't take it home. Naturally, it's everywhere in
Groton, New London and Mystic (not to mention the inside of
submarines.)

[1] He assures me that the proper pronunciation is subma-REENER; one
whose boat is submersible. A sub-MAR-inner is a below average sailor.

[2] Electric Boat is the company founded by John Holland, and is the
premier builder of nuclear submarines in the world.
