Balta1701 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 20, 2012 -> 08:23 AM) I can't sleep. Saturday night I got real drunk and slept til about 2 PM on Sunday. That being said, I've been laying in bed since 2 AM and cannot sleep. I've got my alarm set for noon. I have to be up by 6:30 AM on Tuesday because I have a doctor's appointment. This sucks.

Heads22 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 To complicate matters, I have to get my bladder scoped tomorrow morning and I'm just a bit nervous about that, but I'm getting pretty anxious about not being able to sleep.

Doritos are processed food, pressed and fried versions of tortillas that are then coated with artificial cheese-like substances. Hey, I've got a great idea...what if we took these bastardized versions of tortillas and made tortillas out of them! Yes I know, it'll probalby taste pretty good.

I've watched every video on youtube on how to tie a tie and have put in hours of practice and really just can't seem to get it just right. It's pretty sad that I go over to my parents house before job interviews and weddings to have my dad tie it for me. One of these days it will click I'm sure.

Haha everything you said here pertains to me as well. When I was in Carbondale I had my roomate tie it for me and back here I've had my dad do it, which was fine when I didn't have to wear one often, now I have to learn but as you said I just can't get it right.

Chisoxfn Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Fantastic article. I still quote a couple lines from that episode in my day to day. Whether its a...."Mattingly, cut those sideburns", or a "Daryylllll, Darryyyyl.....". Truly a tremendous episode and one of the best shows ever written. I know it isn't what it once was, but man, there were a heck of a lot of classicly awesome and whitty Simpson episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain if this thought will help but for almost any regular knot, windsor, four in hand, half windsor, etc the short end stays and the long end wraps around it.

It's very sad. Don't worry. I can't either...I just leave my ties tied until I need to get them cleaned. My PA showed me once, but I promptly forgot. Then again, I couldn't tie my shoes until I was 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The guy and the music are a bit goofy, but this video always helps me nail it. He goes through it slowly the first time, and then quickly the second. Usually, I nail it after watching him do it for about 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 All of this discussion got me wondering what knots people use. For a spread collar I stick to the full windsor or the Persian, four-in-hand for casual days, and the Simple Double for narrow ties. Related, just wore a bow tie to work the other day for the hell of it. Took me a few minutes to remember how to tie it but I got a few entertaining discussions in an otherwise boring office environment. What knots do you guys use most?

I am almost exclusively full-windsor. I can vary the size of the knot depending on the collar or shirt, sometimes nice and tight for a snug, smaller triangular shape, other times bigger and wider.
