KA? KG? What does this mean?

Some of you may wonder why I sign my name 'CarsonKG'
Well, KG is a title. Two posts ago I listed a number of people with the same and with similar initials after their names. As you may have guessed, it has something to do with knots.

At Maple Dell we have a knot organization. A club if you will. The organization is a tradition at camp and in the organization each member holds a certain "rank of knot immortality."

The thing is a joke really and is based off of Greek mythology, so no I am not being sacrilegious and please don't take any of this offensively.

The Ranking of Knot Immortality is as follows:

Knot Angel (KA) This is the first and lowest degree of Knot Immortality that one can attain.
Knot High Angel (KHA) This is the second degree of Knot Immortality that one can attain.
Knot Demigod (KDG) This is the third degree of Knot Immortality that one can attain.
Knot God (KG) This is the fourth and highest degree of knot Immortality that one can attain and requires one to learn over 150 knots, hitches, bends, and loops, in addition to several anchors, splices, tricks, bindings, mats, plaits, braids, sennits, whippings, lashings, tackles, coils, and stories of or concerning various specifics knots or styles of knots. In addition to all of this, one must learn or earn the pioneering merit badge, make a rope that's at least 6' in length, create a knot of his or her own, own a detailed knot book, be able to speak in "Ropenese" (aka use various knotting terms.), and gain an incomprehensible love for knotting. Oh yeah, and know how to fuse the ends of a rope. All in all, you must memorize and complete a few hundred specific things. (If you want a list of the requirements, leave a comment and I'll send them to you.)

Special Ranks include:
Knot High-Angel (KAA)
Knot Cardinal (KC)
Knot Oracle (KO)

As you can see the whole thing is really a big joke and quite punny. I am Carson KG. In other words, I am Knot God.

So yeah, if you ever wonder how much I know about knots, how many knots I know, and how much I love knots, the answer is a LOT!
