who knows how to tie a bowtie?

it’s crazy that no one our generation knows how - understandable, but something worth learning i think.

Why do we need to learn something when we can just google it?

That’s what I always end up doing with regular neckties too.

no this is the thing - google is fail at this. so a few weeks ago i went to an engagement and forgot my suit (grabbed wrong suitcase), so i had to go buy one.

i had the bright idea of being different and wearing a bow tie…then me and a friend (who’s smart as hell - runs a hedge fund) sat in the hotel room for like an hour and watched youtube videos/etc on his iphone and couldn’t figure it out.

I called the concierge, asked if someone could help, they said they’d check…they sent up some mexican dude whose advice was: “oh you just adjust the strap then hook it”. thanks diego but i didn’t get this from men’s warehouse.

but yeah, steps 1-5 are simple and built for a child, and they walk through these slowly on the videos, then the main move to push the second bow through a hole is covered up by your hand, and rushed so you have no fucking clue what’s going on. oh well.

vamsi was bald, and i didn’t know?

hahahahaha - i waited until the night of the first show to shave my head into male pattern baldness (for a character in the show), slept with my hat on, showered in the middle of the night, and avoided my girlfriend, so all my friends (who came friday) were completely shocked. that was awesome.

Patriots Lead Colts at Halftime

Patriots Lead Colts at Halftime:

subcon:

This was almost too easy for the Onion… but still funny. Also check out Eagles Settle For Field Goal After 260-Yard Drive

as much as i dislike the pats, i still think this was the right play (see: my earlier rantings about punting) - and if he had converted he would have been viewed as a genius. you’re talking about a 35 yard difference in field position - not 80 yards, like everyone in the media is treating it. 35 yards is one play (especially with hometown officiating and retarded NFL pass interference rules) - indy had plenty of time and the last 2 drives had scored in 2 minutes or less. AND given that, New England still had chances to make stops [also they could have let Indy score immediately and gotten the ball back to try to tie]. Anyway, I take the 50% chance of outright win (convert + kneel) over the marginal difference punting yields (subjectively, I think Indy was 40% to score from 70 yards, and 60% to score from 30 yards).

but yes, funny article.

Vamsi: fuck that reminds me, i have no hotel situation for the wedding since you and Siv dropped out
Vamsi: i emailed srikar, he said he has no idea
Vamsi: but isn't motivated to address that because he assumes other people will take care of it
Rajeev: eh, just find a decently cute girl, strike up a conversation.
Rajeev: ask her who she knows there, who her friends are, what she does
Rajeev: dance with her, get her a drink
Rajeev: and then say forget about your boyfriend, and meet me at the hotel room, you can bring your girlfriends, and meet me at the hotel room.
Rajeev: i've been led to believe that this will work 100%

happy birthday srini!
