Man I just don't get Bow Ties.

[trumad]

It's like fashion murder.

[Rick Myers]

1. That GOP chucklenut Roger Stone just wore one on Tucker

Even Tucker has figured it out!!!

[Lautremont]

2. I don't know, sometimes they can be pretty stylin'. Like here:

[Kikosexy2]

22. They were hip ...

in the early 70s....but Repube geeks like Twinkle Toes Tucker just kills the look and it becomes soooo uncool....

[Human Torch]

3. They're great in pasta salad.

:evilgrin:

[WI_DEM]

4. one of my favorite liberals, Sen. Paul Simon wore one too

and on him it was becoming.

[Lars39]

5. That's because he had the brains to back up the 'nerdy' look.

[Journeyman]

11. Looked good on Simon, and Charles Osgood, too . . .

[LiberalEsto]

6. It's a warning sign

Beware of rightwing jerk

[MrCoffee]

20. Who you calling a rightwing jerk?

[u4ic]

35. Regardez:

and then check out http://www.cbc.ca/mercerreport/backissues.php?season=2 , week of February 21, where that 80 year old instructs how to roll a joint...



:P

7. I get bow ties.

those two bozos don't get the right size ties. they're too small for their enlarged heads. A competent clerk at a good store would steer them to slightly larger bow ties. a real dedicated clerk would show them how to tie them properly. an extraordinary clerk would asphyxiate them accidentally.

I wear bow ties when I need to wear a tie. I've got a largish head and a large neck. There are a couple of tie makers who make bow ties that I can wear, extra fabric, extra cost. I look for those ties at thrift stores.

8. Required attire for male pediatricians....

(if they wear a tie), for obvious reasons, I think....

Beyond that, depends on the guy. Love it on Tom Oliphant...(he's so cute)

[TahitiNut]

9. Try wearing a tuxedo without one.

"Fashion" sucks.

[Chan790]

27. Personal style trumps fashion IMO

I've never worn one with a tux, hope that I never will. I have a matte black tie and everybody I know knows that if they want me in a tux, it'll be with that tie or not at all. So I'm percieved as a maverick, someone who marches to their own drum, and a trendsetter. Someone unafraid of risk.

I've been told that's sexy. So much for fashion.

[Elidor]

10. They appear to be a public service

A warning to all who approach: here lurks a sanctimonious turd. Wearers are also noted for their meticulous organization of socks in drawers.

[Warren Stupidity]

14. Or they are tweedy shlubs from the 50's.

My dad wore a bow tie and wore it well and he was not a sanctimonious turd, thanks, nor were his socks in order. It depends on the bow tie wearers generation. The tucker era types (like who wears ties anyhow unless they have to) are generally jerks.

[distantearlywarning]

12. I might take Tucker Carlson a lot more seriously if he didn't wear one

Before I knew who he was I used to make fun of the "newsanchor who wears that dumb bowtie".

I also think Tucker needs a different haircut. He looks like a total dork. I thought TV people were supposed to be more attractive than normal people? :shrug: Maybe that doesn't apply if you're a Repuke.

[Warren Stupidity]

16. It aint the tie it is the shit pouring out of his gob. nt.

[zonkers]

13. Not always..............

[Spider Jerusalem]

15. ...

[A Simple Game]

17. I don't get ties, bow or otherwise!

Talk about torture!

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. Torture? Nonsense.

If your shirt fits properly, it's not at all uncomfortable.

[MazeRat7]

19. Yeah, I would hate to look like this when I am 76

MZr7

[Left Is Write]

24. Oh, yeah. That's rough.

He looks so silly!

:crazy:

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Best bow tie EVarrr

[idgiehkt]

23. what gay conservatives wear

because they can't get away with wearing them in their hair.

[zbdent]

25. I swear, on a Repuke, it's code for

closeted gay ...

In "Blinded by the Right", David Brock was encouraged to wear a bowtie on his appearances ... and they knew he was gay

[maxsolomon]

26. Bolos i get

he looks AWESOME

[Skittles]

28. not shure you should blame those travesties on the f***ing ties

:o

[Guy Fawkes]

29. ummm, hello? What about this?

[calico1]

30. They look good worn with a tux

and that's the only time they should be worn, imo.

[av8rdave]

31. I remember when I was interviewing for airline jobs,

and I read "Dress for Success." I'll never forget the comments on bow ties. The author basically said they are only appropriate for people who are so intimidating/project so much power that they need to take wardrobe steps that will make them seem more impotent and less intimidating.

Personally, I don't think George Will needs a bowtie to accomplish that.

[sendero]

32. As far as I can tell..

... they are only worn my men who are sans testiculii.

[democracyindanger]

33. Everyone should know how to tie one.

Seriously. Right there with the square and bowline knots.

[mitchum]

34. I just call them "dork rags"

[amitten]

36. They are bows. Little girl bows. Little girl bows...on men.

I just realized that for the first time.


:yoiks:

[Broken_Hero]

37. I know what you mean

but to each their own, just not for me!...:)

[reyd reid reed]

38. My kids have all worn 'em

But never of their own volition. Part of their jazz band uniforms; tuxedo shirts and pants, vests and bow ties.

I'll have to find some pics...

Just so's I can be a proper mother and embarrass them by posting bow tie pics for the world to see.

:D

:hi:

[tjwmason]

39. Those two are bad choices...

but I love bow-ties. I've got several, both day and evening ones.

[billyskank]

40. I've noticed around here

that DUers have an aversion to people who dress up smart, generally. Ties, shirts, suits, you name it, they don't like it.

[tjwmason]

41. It may shock you to hear

but I don't have any problem with ties or suits.

[billyskank]

42. Me neither

Right now I am wearing a silk tie, cuff links and everything. :)

[Robeson]

43. I don't get "Ties" in general. It's a meaningless piece of cloth...

...hanging around someone's neck, that has no legitimate purpose. That "fashion statement" will one day be gone, like the huge ruffles around the neck. It's ridiculous.

[ellisonz]

44. I have a professor of colonial Peruvian and Spanish history...

who looks FAB-U-LOUS in them, in an egghead sort of way.
