It Has Returned!
Fellow Boalties,
In recent years, the youth of America has lost its taste; it has come to shun that which once stood atop the pinnacle of fashion. Fortunately, CNN recognized our generation's flawed judgment, and is now doing its part to fix the situation: CNN.
Bow ties. When did they go out of fashion? If you look around, some of our most esteemed attorneys and judges wear them. (See, e.g., here, here, and here). Why, then, do so many hate them?
For some time, I have loved bow ties. Bow ties have many advantages: 1. When you are at lunch, you don't have to worry about your tie falling into your food; 2. When you are done for the day, and heading home on BART, you look substantially cooler with an untied bow tie around your neck; 3. It looks great with suspenders; 4. It will get you laid: People love unwrapping presents, and every time a person undoes a bow tie, he/she feels like he/she is opening a present, thus making him/her want to undress you more frequently.
Spare me your "Hey Tucker Carlson" comments. You aren't original. I've heard it before. Your shallow insults do not detract from my bow tie wearing experience. In fact, your ignorance of the bow tie's beauty makes me pity your bow tie-less existence.
Boalties, I beseech you: help support this noble cause. There was once a dream that was Bow Tie Tuesdays. It survived for an entire semester in the glorious Fall, 2006. This Tuesday, help this legacy live once more; give a damn: wear a bow tie.
UPDATE: A valued co-contributor showed me this article from the NY Times. Apparently some of our colleagues do value fashion!

No one under the age of 50 should be allowed to wear a bow tie. The the only person under 50 that you can think of who wears a bow tie is Tucker Carlson does not bode well for your cause.
Ok, well I know who slam master is now.
As a woman, I can assure you that Bow Ties will NOT get you laid.
Well, the bow tie isn't exactly my MO, but what the heck? I'm open-minded. I'll try it on Tuesday.
Ashley, who said anything about women?
;)
11:27 gets post of the week. Especially considering who Slam Master A is.
I should also note: women, feel free to support his day by wearing a bow in your hair. Hell, if you're feeling adventurous, wear a bow tie, too!
Other famous bow tie wearers:

bow ties will get you laid!!!
honestly, how many did you see today? i didn't see one.
4:34, there was at least one.
Sorry Slam Master A, I considered busting out a bow tie, but then realized I didn't even own one . . . and was too busy yesterday to get one.
There were two. Patrick was the other brave soul.
And we have 1 more who has committed to next week! A 50% growth... talk about an up and coming fashion statement!
Nothing says impotence quite like a bow tie. They should give you a bow tie when you ask for Viagra.
