Several people have asked about rockthefatknot.com making a presidential endorsement for tomorrow’s election. To be honest, I have not seen a (major party) presidential candidate really rocking a fat knot. Most seem to utilize a half windsor knot. This pains me greatly. I’d rather them not wear a tie if they are not going to rock a fat knot. So, there cannot be an endorsement for president. However, I have encountered an image of a candidate in the race for S.C. House District #33…
Lanny Littlejohn knows how to rock a fat knot. He’s been representing my district for quite some time. I believe he does a great job. He also knows the importance of rocking a fat knot. That’s why rockthefatknot.com is officially endorsing Lanny Littlejohn in tomorrow’s election.
I decided to “re-rock” this orange fat knot in celebration of Halloween and the arrival of Fall.
It’s a high quality tie from the Steve Harvey Collection.
At 8PM on 10/31/2008 (This Friday a.k.a. Halloween), Wofford College will play Appalachian State University in a game of high quality SoCon football. These teams are currently undefeated in SoCon play. The FCS Coaches poll has App State at #2 and Wofford at #5. USA Today’s poll has them as #2 and #3. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2. It will also be available on ESPN360.com. A direct link to the game is available here. Wofford’s got a great team and they know how to rock the triple option. It should make for high quality Friday night entertainment. Go Terriers!
I picked up this tie at Stein Mart for $12.99. It’s got a Rooster brand tag on it. I’m not too familiar with that brand but the tie fabric is good for rocking a fat knot. A quick google for ‘rooster tie’ sent me here. Based on the prices listed there, I’d say the Stein Mart price is a good one.
My grandmother, Grace Brown, passed away last week. She loved the color pink and she was buried in a pink dress. I picked up a new pink tie to wear at her funeral. I got this one from Stein Mart for $14.99.
The brand is Jones New York. I’ve been really impressed by the last few Jones New York ties that I’ve picked up. All have been really good for rocking a fat knot.
My brother very rarely wears a tie. So, when he sported one this weekend, I had to document it.
Even blue-collar-chevy-2500HD-drivin-tractor-lovers like to rock a fat knot! Good job, Andrew!
I don’t feel that I have the economic wisdom or experience to provide commentary on the recent debates over the proposed economic bailout. However, I do have the ability to comment about a good tie selection. Warren Buffett should be commended for sporting a dominant fat knot on this cnn.com article. For the sake of future fat knot acquisitions, I hope our leaders are able to continue working toward the best solutions for these very difficult problems.
My wife picked up this tie for me in Gaffney, SC at an outlet store.
Gaffney, SC is home to the Giant Peach. It’s also the place where Stacey G grew up. I wonder if any PMPs planned the construction of the peach? Imagine dealing with schedule compression or late night escalation during the construction of a Giant Peach. Do you think anyone involved with the construction asked: “When will we learn?”
Yeah — it probably doesn’t matter now. It’s a cool water tower and this is a good fat knot… The Stacey G Fat Knot.
I’ve been reading Simon Willison’s blog for quite a while now.
He frequently posts interesting ideas and links. Yesterday, I noticed that he had a link to videos from DjangoCon 2008 on YouTube.
So far, I’ve watched Schema Evolution and Reusable Apps.
I learned a lot from both videos. I’ve only been working with Django for a few months (mostly for this blog)
and I’m really enjoying it. I think it’s really cool that they’ve posted videos from the Django conference so people that couldn’t attend (the conference or a particular talk) can check them out (and learn something). Living in rural South Carolina, there are not (currently) a lot of local opportunities to exchange ideas with other python developers. I hope that more (python related) conferences follow Django’s lead and post conference videos. Great job!
