But I was annoyed wearing a tie since i never could tie a perfect tie-knot; unless I googled and got a list of sites. One site that drag my attention was http://www.2tieatie.com since it not only had pictures to teach the steps but also videos that show the things to do in a perfect manner. Good one!

It's in the good old Cub Scout Manual. Right where I remember learning it. All this angst over tying a tie? It’s in the good old Cub Scout Manual. Right where I remember learning it.

Tieing those is pretty easy if you just treat it like tieing your shoe if you were wearing your shoe on your head. I do a full Windsor for ordinary ties. Today's tie has sailboat spinnakers all over it! I assumed from the phrase “black tie” that the tie in question was a bow tie.

Sure, you'll look like an old timey cowboy or an oil baron, but if it's good enough for Isaac Asimov, Gene Roddenberry and Abraham Simpson, then it's good enough for the rest of us nerds.

Relative to Clifford, I would say Phil is doing well to OWN a tie! An interesting knot is the Pratt knot, made most famous by Don Shelby. Well worth learning.
