    I've had the same tie tied for about 3 years and accidentally untied it a few days ago before a job interview. Youtube saved the day.
    Keeping my tie tied throughout my last 2 years of highschool (we wear a uniform here) was the very reason why the knowledge hasn't sunk in.

    Another good reason to untie ties regularly is that the tie creases. When it inevitably unties, the crease becomes bothersome.

    They wouldn't let you wear a clip-on? I always rock the clip-on. I can't be bothered to memorize such a tedious process, I have big things going on. BIG THINGS.

    Girls wore the clip-ons. We had the real deal.

    Tying a tie is like so many everyday art forms, the skills to do them are slowly disappearing through lack of use. One prime example is writing kanji among Japanese youth. They rely so heavily on their cell phones and computers to generate kanji that they are losing the ability to write the characters by hand.

    Buck the trend. Learn how to tie a tie. It's not like it's hard.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
