Well, pubic hair doesn’t fall for a reason. Why that is, beats me – no pun intended. Fuck it! yeah it was.

But why?

I may have to try that Eldredge knot. It looks interesting. And that Jon Stewart clip was awesome, with him ragging on Crossfire for their missed opportunity, and Mr Bowtie trying to turn the tables and claim it’s Jon Stewart who had a great opportunity for hard questions and he softballed it. Yeah, great point, except Jon Stewart has a show on Comedy Central making jokes. Crossfire is on CNN talking about news.

I think you’ll look pretty ridiculous with a four-in-hand in any tie. Skinny, fat, -shoelace, ascot. Four-in-hand is a lop-sided catastrophe.

I’ve been pretty happy with the thing I tie, regardless of the tie size or fabric thickness. Youse get what the tie gives ya’.
