they look like these things to me... on the beach in Santa Cruz here in Madeira there is one old heavy metal thing and it has two knobs on the side for hitching ropes to... or was it maybe a winder thingy...

but for sure, if it's near water, and it's got big knobs that you can hitch ropes to, it's gotta be a littoral thing 

 Yeah they're literally littoral.

I just needed to say that. Thought it many times, never had an excuse 

 i wrote it because i love the homonymousness of littoral and literal 

 so homo... 

 here in madeira the main state company that does the big highways and fancy tunnels and bridges around the margins of the island are called "vialitoral"

http://www.vialitoral.com/

also, yes, boats are a common venue for homos to find employment because they often find other homos there for the same reason 

 wait, technically it's homophonity, or homophonousness, idk what the fuck 

 sounds like 

 yes, homophone is a word that sounds like another word 

 idk/wtf 

 homo = same/man
phone = sound 

 we r homos? 

 in latin, literally yes
