    It's a what, you slow motion ass muthafucka? I bet if Dutch Masters, Phillies, or White Owl conducted a poll, I bet more ? would know how to roll a blunt as opposed to knowing how to tie a tie. There are certain things a every man should know how to do, (namely because sooner or later he might need to know how to do it,) knowing how and when to wear dress clothes is one of them. Too many of y'all ? are over here thinking it's all about the hood, all of the time.

    This all falls in line with that whole human notions, values, beliefs that wearing certain clothing indicates respect, and responsibility, and all that jazz, and during the entire time I'm wearing a suit smiling and ? , I want to take that tie right back off and strangle ? with it.

    I remember coming up though I would leave my ties tied and just hang em up so I wouldn't have to do it again. Pops would clown me on that.

    Haven't worn a suit since I was a kid. I'm not sure I remember how to do it. Have no use for ties.

    ? this thread. my Dad has shown me 10000000 times but i always forget. ? really is that complicated. ? that anglo ? anyway

    It's like riding a bike or doing skate board tricks once you learn you'll never forget. Like I said, you'll have to devote like thirty minutes out of life to perfect it.

    Pops taught me how to when I was about 13. I just know the basic knots, looking in to learning other kinds of knots. Found out about this one today, cape tie knot. Looks too trill

    Learned to Tie a tie at 18, Took Me less than 10 Mins

    Learned to Roll a Dutch at 13, took Me a few Hours With Multiple Tries.

    I've Complimented many Nicely Rolled blunts but never a Nice tie knot Lolll
