I like. If I had a house I might have to get these. I guess I'm a sucker for a stylie pint glass.

Maybe when I get a job. Those would be sweet. I think if I bought them I would be directly applied to the "You might be a yuppie if..." thread.

My uncle got these for Christmas. There sweet. The only problem was no one was drinking. We were all to focused on the knots.

I've done it both ways and found it’s nice to know more than one way to do it.

That's the way that someone who thinks that they can do without a cam in order to have something shiny to drink out of, ties it. They're also known as yuppies and should be dragged behind their SUVs by their ankles. Smile

I like drinking and I like knots. Hey!
That looks like it'd be tricky to tie one-handed (butterfly)
I'll stick with the 3 loops on the hand way.

I'm a sucker for cool pints too- (one of my faves)

I find the way on the glass easier if I'm doing it on a bight.

It's just like taking advantage of young girls.

First you twist them all around. Then you bend them over and poke them through the hole.

When it was described to me that way, I NEVER have forgotten how to tie the knot since.

But oh-so-funny.

I forget the comic, but one bit always stayed with me:

I take my women like I take my Scotch...

12 years old and mixed up with Coke.

They're spendy at $20 for four glasses, but I'd hardly call someone a yuppie for owning a set. You'd have to have more than one set to buy a cam I'd want to fall on!
