Truth is, as soon as you're born, you're old!  My cousin had a kid not more than a week ago, and that kid is now a week OLD!  So, old, in fact, that she's completely out of style with all the other young, hip kids.  I hear she's thinking about suicide since she knows that in another 30 years, she'll have wrinkles.  The poor thing.

With little need to practice, most of them do not know how to tie a tie.

That's awful.

Unfortunately, they did have Columbia.

I was born in 1986 and will turn 19 in a few days. So I guess I am just barely old.

As far as my brain is concerned, I stopped aging in the year 2000. My brain is too lazy to do the math to go any further.

Basically if you were born on or after 1987, I'd reflexively assume you were 13 years old or younger. Until higher reasoning kicked in and went "Hey, wait a minute..."

I just use those clip-on ties on the extremely rare occasions that I have to wear them.

I wear them all the time in the fall and winter. I derive my cold-weather fashion from The Great Gatsby.

If you say you have his house I'll be home invading your ass.

Anyway... *points to two racks of ties in closet*

I have to wear a tie everyday to work =)


And at a camp this summer we actually bought our kids cheap ties and taught them the Full Winsor.  It was hilarious.

Born 1987, here. And WMCoolmon, I am not 13 years old :p

So I guess this means I'm just barely young?

I'm 33, so old went by a while ago according to that site ;)

I can remember having a B&W television. And I owned my first ever computer before anyone aged under 22 on this board was even born....

I had to wear a tie every day during fall/winter for four years at a Catholic high school; no problems here.  I never got around to learning the Full Windsor, though; the simple over, around, and through worked well enough for me. :p
