The Question:
This is a serious question, and I need as many opinions as possible on this.
So check out this tie.
If a guy showed up for a date with you wearing this tie, what would you think (if you're a girl)? If you're a guy, would you wear this tie on a date? How about for a formal dance? How about for an induction into an engineering honor society? Is there ever an appropriate occasion to wear this tie?
Your help is needed to solve a very serious tie-related dilemma in A-Entry.
If you did elect to wear this tie, and someone told you it was godawful, would you retort by saying that the person "couldn't handle [your] hotness"?

sleepylilfox: the tie is nast...MAYBE for a date where you didnt really expect anything good to happen it would be kinda funny, but not for a formal and def not honor society material
sleepylilfox: shudders
sleepylilfox: its like all popping out and 3D-like

Xander8184: no, the tie is hideous and noone in their right mind (or with half a fashion sense) would ever go outside in such a thing

for a date, i would think it would be hilarious and fantastic, formal dance, possibly, but induction into an engineering honor society... probably not. but this is coming from me, so continue with caution.

The smiley, while it provides a certain amount of entertain, does NOT exude the declarative "DO ME!" So, I would say the only time I would wear that tie is do a party where I was going to be extremely drunk and the tie would soley serve as a conversation piece that would not be remembered the next morning. It sounds as if your engineering friend should have only worn the tie had he been drunk at his engineering honor society induction. GO ENGINEERS!
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Lol...first of all, I love you Mollie because that's way funny, and I like to laugh. But about that tie...it probably shows a great sense humor, but probably isn't appropriate for a serious event. Unless he checked with the girl first. For example, this year for Homecoming, Joel Borgan and I went FINALLY got to go to a dance together since Jon couldn't come home. I purchased a lovely black dress with pink accents. So Joel got a pink shirt. From the thrift store. That was two sizes too small. The pictures are GREAT because we both think we're so funny. So I guess that shows you that my judgement is slightly less than sound. In summary, I suppose it could be worse. He could be Joel. (grin)

first, if it was a first date, he definitely sent the wrong impression and if we were dating at the beginning of the night, we wouldn't be when the night was over.
second, formal dances are just that. formal.
third, inductions into engineering honor societies are also formal. smiley tie-wearing guys need not apply.
fourth, if you were going to a clown convention or your weekly abracadudes meeting, i suppose the smiley tie would be appropriate.
fifth, and finally, i imagine it was a crumlin who wore (or wanted to wear) the tie. in this case, you, mollie, of all people, could handle the hotness they claim to have. if it was anyone else, i apologize for confusing you with a crumlin.

uhhh...how much would you pay me?
Joe Jacobs
Maybe at a clown convention with big red shoes.

To be honest, I wouldn't even buy that tie. No. It's just not my taste. No. No. I shake my head at that tie.

about the tie: is this guy in a nationally renound barbershop quartet? does his mom still dress him? or did he just spend a year in a different country where he has to hunt for his own food? If you can answer yes to any of the above questions he has every right to wear this tie wherever he goes. I would not wear it in a box, would not wear it with a fox, i would not wear it hear nor there, i would not wear it anywhere. Somebody should put that tie on a plate with a side of ranch dressing and make him eat that godforsaken excuse for a "fashion accessory"
In Ethan's defense, he is a good, fun, goofy guy who thought the tie was pretty funny. He is also the same guy who, along with his brother, bought twenty pieces of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake for his closest friends... just because he knew that they love cheesecake.
That has to count for something.

amydoodle85: one... what a good friend... cheescake from the cheescake factory.. that counts for everything!
amydoodle85: two... mr sewell is the only one who can pull off that tie in any circumstance.. and that man could do it at a presidential inauguration if he wanted to
amydoodle85: three... no one but mr. sewell ... that's it... [Ed. note: Mr. Sewell is our high school band director and is also a goofy, fun-loving, wonderful guy, albeit older, and far more mature, than Ethan.]
