Surviving Extremes
63. Heat

step 1: remove excess clothing
step 2: drink water
step 3: get under something to block big fireball in sky

still hot? repeat steps 1-3 until not as hot

bowties aren't terribly complicated but they do require a bit of practice

And i wonder where something like this fits on the manly<--->bro gradient. You're still making something with your hands, after all. Even if it is chainmail made from beer tabs.

Military Know-How
48. Shine shoes
49. Make a drum-tight bed
50. Drop and give the perfect pushup

okay, so the military things we need to know do not include unarmed combat, weapons training, tactics, ballistics, crowd control, or any of the actual cool military stuff, but rather the stuff that your dad made you do on Saturdays when he was irritated that you'd spent all morning watching cartoons

xxp So do regular ties, tbh, if you want that perfect dimple.

53. Skipper a boat

but honestly, surviving tornadoes? "son, if you see a tornado, i want you to look him in the eye and just say no. it was nice talking to you, see you next christmas."

104. Invoke "Droit de seigneur" on all your friends' fiancees.

105. Fence

106. master the art of sincere apology even if you do not give a fuck irl

80. Ditch your hard drive

Do what with it? You mean, throw it in a ditch? I think I might like to wipe it, reformat it, and see if I can use it again first.

195. commandeer the vehicle of a stranger by force (non-video game)

6. Conquer an off-road obstacle

12. Perform hands-only CPR

Real men give mouth-to-mouth

I do believe I was roommates with beer can armor guy in college. I knew him when he was just coke can armor guy (I guess this was before he was 21). He would leave rotting meat under his bed and moldy towels in the closet. Whenever I'd bring my girlfriend around he'd glare at her like she was like some kind-of intruder by sake of her gender.

genuine in-office roffles! I go to a meeting and shit turns hilarious.

Going wayyy upthread... I watched the whole series of "how to tie a tie", and not one of those knots is quite exactly the one that I tie. I keep watching the four-in-hand and half-windsor videos, but neither seem exactly like my (apparently special) knot. But neither are the results very different. I want my knot to have a NAME, damnit!

how does yr knot go

I... I can't describe it all with words and stuff. I suppose I could make a video.

But I'm not sure either myself or anyone else really cares that much.

In fact, I'm pretty sure I don't.

Ok, forget I mentioned it. :)

haah ok

Make a video and we can call it a "full kenan."

kenan maybe it is a pratt aka shelby knot? iirc there are like 85 ways to knot a tie (topologically) but there are only 5 or so that are named

double kenan
