I've actually used this knot in many activities. There were several different activities, ranging from job interviews to formal suppers to running around like Clark Kent trying to undress to turn into superman. It is quite the versatile knot, and I suggest using it often when you need to get all formal style.
 

Some common events where ties are appreciated:

  • Weddings
  • Funerals
  • College Classes
  • Meetings
  • Workplace
  • Alien Invasions
  • Hangings
  • Picnics
  • Cannibal Feasts
 
Horrendously ugly neckties are commonly those that make people cringe upon the light entering the eye that was reflected from the horrible horrible necktie. Often these neckties also induce vomiting, and are thus kept in much supply at poison centers and hospitals. Also because of this unique aspect of the Horrendously Ugly necktie, they were in much demand at the Roman Vomitoriums.
Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires!

CAUTION!!! REMOVE TIE BEFORE LIGHTING IT ON FIRE!!!!

BE CAREFUL OF FIRE

Texans have a long and varied history with neckties, dating back to the wild west days. These ties are often indicative of the lifestyle that the wearers lead, in that they are often made of whatever materials are on hand. Usually rope, because in Texas, rope is EVERYWHERE. Another variant of the rope tie is the Barbedwire tie, but this often causes the person putting the tie on the criminal a great deal of pain.

To truly fit in in Texas, you need a cowboy hat.

Rope is also needed, and some people prefer foreign rope to be hung in. Here's a site that specializes in specialty foreign rope.
