double knots and weak affirmatives

Zeitgeist last night, welcoming back Colin with JVJ and Bjorn with Arshad I was pleased to hear a gentleman (is the wrong word) stand up and yell "IS THERE ANYBODY HERE"(queue Thee Headcoates)"who ties their shoes with double knots?!" a table away a man replied on one pair of shoes because the laces suck and another (colin actually) when he wears his boots for the same reason. High 5ives were had at the table of origin and the drinking which had paused rejoined the drinking that never stopped.

The thing was, at first I was absolutely certain this man was a fan of double knots, but after a few moments I began to wonder...
