Witty & Wise Ties, Trivia & Lies
I told my pink ties that I’m kinda pinked out, so this Tie o’ the Day is gonna be the last pink one for a while. BCA Month ends tomorrow, but I’ll be wearing Halloweeny neckwear. In this pic, I’m showing off my bow tie beanie and its matching ear warmers. My ears—especially my Spock ear—are extremely sensitive to cold air, and enjoy being covered. My hearing is gone anyway, so it doesn’t matter if sound can’t reach my eardrums. Warmth is my priority. 👂🏻
Bow Tie o’ the Day loves wordplay as much as I do. We tend to create clever, silly costumery instead of scary outfits. When our troops were knee-deep in Iraq, I wore this costume for a few years. The phrase “The War in Iraq” was omni-present. For this party get-up, I morphed it into THE WAR IN MY RACK. Added contest bonus: Guess how many toy soldiers it took to fill my chest? (Note: This is not political. My heart is always with our troops.)
