How to Tie a Tie

Category:

I’m 27 years old and I’ve worked office jobs where I’ve needed to wear a tie for 9 years now. It took 9 years, but I can finally tie a tie. Impressive you say? Miracle? Who taught me how to tie a tie? My dad? Nope. Male companion? No. Male friend? No. Priest? No. My girlfriend Emily taught me how to tie a tie. Checkout my video!

    That was like, utter torture to watch you do that 3 fucking times. Holy shit. Thank GOD you got it on the 3rd time. If I wasn’t drinking I’m sure I would have called you more names…

    I agree with Erica…fucking torture…GAWD. At least you finally got it. I have no patience for people who can’t complete the easiest of tasks in a timely fashion. If your hair was all slicked and geeked over like that, I might hate you.

    Please wear pants next time.

    Dogs love sniffing dirty laundry.

    I SHOWED YOU how to tie your tie and it was like watching a palsy victim shuffle a deck of cards. Fast forward a year and now all of a sudden your girlfriend gets the credit? ……(I understand you have to make her feel good every now and then)…but I know the truth.

    That’s funny…. I don’t really know how to tie a tie either. But when he asked me I was like, “Oh! I know how! I can show you!” And then I did a bunch of crap and he copied me and ta-da! You have this annoying video. I’m so helpful.

    You LOVE getting blog ideas from me!

    You can’t come eat sushi with us!

  21. gregg o'connell June 30th, 2007 9:16 am

    Bill: you can’t let me eat sushi off your naked body

  22. Bill June 30th, 2007 9:48 am

    Yes I can.

  23. QofD June 30th, 2007 7:51 pm

    Gregg! I will NEVER forget about you! How could I? You’re one of the best blogs on the web. I just haven’t been around because my internet has been down.

    Ok, that was a lie. But I haven’t been commenting on blogs because like, these kids, the ones that call me mom, they like want attention or some shit.

    …but yes! Let’s all hang out. We rented a condo on the beach you and Erica should come hang.

  24. gregg o'connell June 30th, 2007 7:55 pm

  26. gregg o'connell July 5th, 2007 9:40 am

    WAT: when are you taking me out to dinner?

  27. Isaac July 16th, 2007 5:47 pm

    Hate to break it to you, my friend, but that there is a 4-in-Hand knot, not a Windsor knot. If you need a lesson, better ask a professional.

  28. gregg o'connell July 16th, 2007 7:16 pm

    Isaac: do you want to do a tie tieing video with me?

  29. Isaac July 19th, 2007 12:37 am

    Thought you’d never ask!
