Tie o’ the Day descends the stairs, pretending to be a Slinky! Sing the old television ad song with me: “What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound? A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it’s Slinky. It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky. For fun, it’s a wonderful toy! It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky! It’s fun for a girl or a boy!” Or for a tie, in TIE O’ THE DAY’s case. And now I sincerely apologize to you for getting the Slinky jingle stuck in your head.
