Feb 9 2009Ties: Because Your Neck Deserves A Flag
These $25 ties are made out of 100% synthetic materials, feature classic video game scenes, and can be purchased from a tribe of warrior women. Plus, they're absolutely perfect for the tech blogger who wants to pretend he's a businessman. I'll admit it: I love playing dress up. I have three older sisters so I spent much of my youth parading around the house in a dress with makeup caked all over me. Ahh, those were the days. Now I lay around the apartment in my boxers and have to wait for my girlfriend to go to work before I can even put one of her bras on. It's stifling -- and, damnit, she wore my favorite pumps to work today.

Dorky, but I'd probably start a collection...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was in the burger joint with his Uncle Rico, and uncle Rico spilled some of his shake on his arm.

Great way to increase your chances of getting beaten up!
Hell... why not go and re-creat an epic battle on Google street view too while you're at it!

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.
These ties kick ass!

Badass.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Tender Dracula where one of the drunken overdubbed make up artists was promoted to producer.
As his first task, he remade every original film, then remade the remakes, causing an infinite loop and the universe to implode.

would not work in a business setting, not even on casual days

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

The asteroids one would work, it's classic and classy!
13. buzz_clik - February 9, 2009 6:50 PM
I just want meta-ironic white t-shirts with pictures of these ties printed on them.
14. The_One - February 9, 2009 8:16 PM
The third one has a penis in it. that is the only reason to put the L block in the position it is in. i'''''''''
15. elDuendeVerde - February 9, 2009 8:18 PM
Wow. I can't tell if they're supposed to be ironically cool or just plain cool. Either way, I'm sold.
16. Flaming Steak - February 9, 2009 9:49 PM
NICE!

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max threw Daisy in a giant blender because she wouldn't go away, but she thought the shadows are wrong and it's a fake blender, so she wouldn't die, and then he threw her of the Empire State Building, but she wouldn't fall because she failed at physics, and then she got arrested for breaking the law of gravity, and the guards felt sorry for her, because she only watched the same stupid movie over and over again, so they gave her access to a computer and she started annoying everybody with dumb comments on Geekologie.
18. Al Dracone - February 9, 2009 10:38 PM
I guess the one with the asteroids is OK, but the rest just look like something my mother-in-law would give me for Christmas... I'd buy them anyway, I've always wanted to meet a tribe of warrior women!

It still amazes me the number of people that are affected by Daisy comments.
It's just funny actually. His comments are a lot like a psychology test. Those of you who read a few of of them and acknowledge it's repeated actually get irritated enough about it you feel compelled to create a name just to complain about it. There's a class of humans that you live amongst and it's called pathetic whiny losers.
I bet you're the type of person that'd be first to say I TOLD YOU SO when you were right about something. You're the type who probably narc'd on the kid in jr high school (or even recently knowing you) for doing something that didn't involve or affect you. You're the type of person that's probably screwing someone over right now, in some deplorable secretive way that benefits only your insecurity.
If any of that above fits anything remotely close to what you are, please spare us the tell tale signs by not whining about something like Daisy. It just makes you look like a bitch.
Sorry to the rest of you for all of that, I hate it when people write too much too.
Your friendly naas

GW needs to erase all of the Daisy comments and find his IP
21. Al Dracone - February 10, 2009 7:41 AM
I never said Daisy's comments aren't amusing, but you have to admit it, they get pretty annoying after a while... and boring... Anyway, they do make me feel better for not writing on my blog anymore, 'cause now I only have to read them here :D
22. SG - February 10, 2009 8:19 AM
any tetris obsesser would notice that dark blue "7" shaped piece within all the other blocks is not a possible tetris block :-P unless it is a bunch of pieces of that type of block that got left over from deleting lines
23. catch22 - February 10, 2009 8:59 AM
i like how subtle the asteroids tie is, like at first glance it looks like a regular executive tie... im getting one!
24. Skeeter - February 10, 2009 9:25 AM
SG - you would say that.
25. JUMPIN_j - February 10, 2009 12:08 PM
Asteroids tie is actually passable. Tertis and Space invaders? Meh.
26. naas - February 10, 2009 1:24 PM
@20 You're obsessed with Daisy, just admit it. You think about Daisy & talk about it with people at home because you're so bothered by it you must address it.
GW already did the banning thing on Daisy, here's what happened since you weren't with us yet

@17: u funny. as for the ties, unless you were a teenager in the 80s, no way would you know that was an asteroids tie......no way I tells ya, no way!!
also, I think these ties are best referred to as 'Swirlie Grabbers"
