it’s sunday and that means it’s time for another round of Star Struck, a post series where i share a post that i ‘starred’ in Google Reader sometime this week for any number of silly reasons.

ok…honestly, i want to highlight a non-lifehacker post…but their information is just so darn unique and helpful. so, here’s a plea for everyone else in my reader to step it up so that this occasional post-series can be more than a lifehacker regurgitation!

that said, our friends @lifehacker have done it again with a great how-to on an unusual neck-tie knot.

their post illustrates (with video) the procedure of tying a ‘merovingian’ knot (per the uber-stylish folks of the Matrix).

since i can’t recommend the video they embedded (since so many people have a hard time speaking without coarseness), here’s another version:

gotta say…it’s an ugly knot.

BUT, it has inspired me to learn a new knot for an upcoming wedding.

so come on fellows, what knot do you use?

single windsor?

double windsor?

the-knot-my-dad-taught-me?

lay it on me.
