To be in need of a box of shoelaces is to feel greatly indebted to someone or something. Generally used in a non-financial manner (I.E. someone does you favors often), but financial use is applicable too. (I.E. to owe someone a lot of money)
Geez, my friend saves my ass all the time, i need to get him a box of shoelaces.
Wooh! My banker guy got my stolen money back for me! I need a box of shoelaces.
Ugh, i had to cover his shift AGAIN! He really needs a box of shoelaces...

Tumblr code for when you find someone you think looks like they use Tumblr. The correct response, as Tumblr users should know, is "Thank you! I stole them from the president." "Thank you," however, is commonly changed to "thanks."

Girl: Thanks. I stole them from the president.
Girl: Thanks. I stole them from the president.

What a scrub thinks is hot shit but is actually kind of creepy and really gay. He/she will wear it on his/her shoes thinking it's a style but no one will like it and make fun of him/her for it. This can be made only gayer if it is worn on just one shoe. That is the epitome of gay.
Look at my purple shoelace guys I'm so cool.
Purple shoelaces are really fucking gay bro. You look like a tool and a half.
