Use velcro shoes, put super-glue on  the knot. Anyone else have suggestions?  Why do DUmmies where shoes when they don't bother dressing to leave their mom's basement?

Uhhhhh ..... DUmmass.  Learn how to tie a square knot.  If you end up with a granny knot they come untied.  If you end up with a square knot you won't have to tie them but once a day.

The raccoon primitive's one of those notoriously helpless primitives, who runs to Skins's island with every least little bit of a problem they have.

There was one time--this was during the early years of Skins's island, and it wasn't the raccoon primitive--a primitive whose name I long ago forgot went to Skins's island to ask how to wipe the posterior after a spell of commode-sitting, so the underwear wouldn't get streaked.

Really.

Skins's island long ago lost any "shock value" to franksolich.

Demand Obama pass special rights for lefties.  Whine about the evil shoe corporations, or Big Shoe.  I'd say go out and demonstrate but you might be severely injured tripping over your shoe laces, so just stay in.  Especially on election days.

There is a man up at my work who was right handed, and lost is right hand in an accident.  Somehow, he still manages to tie his shoes, no problem.  

I don't understand why the shoe tying gods still decide to smile on my one-handed friend; and yet raccoon, who I would assume has at the very least, rudimentary use of both of his or her hands, remains scorned by the shoe tying gods.

The DUmmy should match his shoes with his work habit............a loafer.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
