Joshua asks "...the difference between bungee cord and shock cord?" Bungee cord is tied to the ankles of daring tourists on bridges near Queenstown, New Zealand. The tourist is then flung off the bridge and hurtles downwards towards the river below, eventually bouncing like a yo-yo. They pay for this experience! Shock cord is tied to the genitalia of certain daring tourists in.... Wait, I think bungee cord and shock cord are actually synonyms.

G'day Peter: Love that Aussie humor! Here is Israel they contribute much, like "Australian Rules" football (Peter, explain this to the list...) In Israel all us native English speakers are known as "Anglo-Saxons." Go figure... Thanks, sport. :) Josh P.S. Seriously (I know that's hard for Aussies), is Peter right that they are synonyms?

"Australian Rules" football (Peter, explain this to the list...)" Perhaps this is a little off target for this list, so I'll avoid it and:- Pass, too hard, too emotional. My team, St.Kilda has only won one of the first twelve matches, and languishes at second bottom position on the ladder. Its star players are going down with injuries each week. I think I'll concentrate on winter paddling and a bit of XC skiing.

Josh, My understanding was that Bun-Gee was a company name that made shock cords. I think I bought some Bun-Gee brand shock cords about 15 years ago. The two terms have always been interchangeable in places I've been. jerry.

I think "bungee" is used here in the U.S. more by sea kayakers, and "shock cord" more by sailors; otherwise they are synonymous. Oh, BTW, I think British usage is to call them "elastics,' as in "deck elastics."
