I am thirty-one years old, Dan, and I can honestly tell you that I probably do not remember how to tie a tie.

I used to know. I am pretty sure I have forgotten.

I am pretty sure that if I needed to wear the one tie I own, that probably only "matches" a few shirts I own, I would have to ask my girlfriend to help me figure it out.

And I am fairly okay with this.

I've likely shared this clip before, but this short film does a great job of addressing all the decorum of eating sushi in a wonderful tongue-in-cheek manner.

This should clear up any lingering questions on Sushi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDL8yu34fz0

Awesome!  Here's something that will help people who speak Spanish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN1j51Yq7Jk

Lately my snob fixation is that almost no man who walks through my store knows how to match a tie to a shirt. What the what??

PROTIP:  If you just wear white and/or blue solid color shirts, it's not much of an issue.

Also, once you wear a shirt and tie every day for 20 years or so, you experience a certain diminution in giving a fuck about it.

I'm so glad I get to wear a t-shirt and jeans to work. My old man must have spent 30+ years in business clothes, the poor bastard. Shaving every day, too!

Yes, it is easy if you wear plain shirts. These guys are trying to match ties with complex patterns with shirts with patterns, and it looks really silly.

I give off enough of an air of incompetence even if my clothes all match.

I'm glad I get to wear nothing at all should I choose to work.  I think we discussed this somewhere.

Well Paul, it's long been established that it's your world and we're all just paying rent.

Pedro wears a shirt and tie to work every day even though the dress code is extremely lax at his workplace. Most people wear jeans; polo shirts are common but some wear t-shirts.

But Pedro is kind of on the youngish side for the level of work he's doing, and he is sort of baby-faced so people tend to think he's even younger. (He has had people express amazement when they learn that he has kids and a wife of nearly 10 years.) So he dresses up for work (and works hard) so that people will take him more seriously in meetings.

It seems to have paid off -- recently we ran into a woman who works in Pedro's building, and one of the first things she said to me was how she sees him in the break room sometimes, they've never spoken except for a quick "Hello," but she recognized him right away because he was dressed up nicely (for our dinner date) just like he does for work. (In fact, it was Friday night, and he didn't change between work and our date.)

If he cuts a few people they'll stop fuck*ng with him like that.

Life's too short.

I don't put a whole lot of soy on my rice. I'm pretty sure I'm tasting the giraffe, because some types I don't like because of the flavor.

I agree, life's too short to worry about douche bags criticizing your taste in things. I'm just saying it's worth a shot. Kind of like when someone suggests maybe not putting A1 on a well seasoned quality steak. Try it, and if after a couple bites it's not for you, pour that shit on.

Lawry's seasoned salt. My mom gets SO MAD when my dad and I put it on our steak, post-grilling, but it's SO GOOD.

Never met anyone else who does that, it's weird.
