Are You, Sock, Sock, Shoe, Shoe, Tie, Tie? Why? Why?

One foot at time?
It's an age old argument, do put your socks on each foot, then a shoe on each foot and then tie them? Or are you, sock, sock, shoe, shoe, tie, tie? Everyone has their own dressing habits when it comes to their feet and there really is no right answer.
Folks on Tik Tok are chiming in on the topic as though it's a new one to argue about but we all know it's not. People under the same roof all do it their own way, it's whatever works for you.
I prefer; sock, sock, loafer, loafer.
LBF is a sock, sock, shoe, shoe, tie, tie person

Here's the viral video that got it started
Archie and Meathead go toe to toe
All in the Family was a classic tv series from the 70's that was groundbreaking for it's time because all subjects and topics were up for discussion, the Vietnam War, Women's Liberation, Hippies, Race Relations and every household delimma you could imagine.
It wasn't always heavy topics that got Archie and Mike (Meathead) in heated throw downs, sometimes it was a simple as the order in which you should put on your socks and shoes. In a classic scene they go toe to toe and mano a mano over who's right and wrong, and it's still hilarious.
Apple Fired a Guy for Quoting the Movie “Arthur”…The Best Quotes From the Movie (That Won’t Get You Canned.)
A guy quoted the movie Arthur. Apple fired him.
Yup. A guy quoted a movie. A classic, excellent, super-quotable movie.
Apple fired him!
We think it's a little bit of an overcorrection.
Apple’s vice president of procurement, Tony Blevins, lost his job after his crude remarks in a TikTok video.
Here's what happened.
Earlier this month, creator TikToker Daniel Mac, whose schtick is walking up to people in expensive or luxurious cars and asking what they do for a living. Mac posted a video of Blevins.
“I race cars and play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off,” Blevins said.
This is a mangled quote from 1981's classic comedy "Arthur" starring Dudley Moore.
I know this because my brother quotes it all the time. We both do.
I actually bought my brother a six pack of pint glasses with his favorite "Arthur" quotes, including the gem that got Blevins fired. It's one of my favorite purchases.
The video doesn’t identify Blevins by name. And it doesn't even MENTION Apple.
Yet, the video set off an internal investigation at Apple, according to Bloomberg.
And then, poof! Blevins was gone.
Bloomberg said Blevins angered some employees, who thought the comments didn’t align with Apple’s goals of increasing women’s representation and empowerment.
To be fair, Apple's employee documents states the want employees to be themselves, "but you should also be respectful in posts, tweets, and other online communications.”
Meanwhile, Blevins apologized "to anyone who was offended by my mistaken attempt at humor," according to Bloomberg.
Great. He said he was sorry. Was it a good look? No. Is he a jerk? Possibly? Would I want to be stuck in an elevator with him? No way.
But after 22 years at Apple, he didn't even get a warning.
A bit much.
Anyway, let's concentrate on the positive - the movie.
"Arthur" stars Dudley Moore as a VERY tipsy heir to a fortune, John Gielgud as his exasperated butler, Hobson, and Liza Minelli as his adorable, sticky-fingered love interest. Linda. Here are some top quotes.
