Subject: Ties
I sent you a link to a wish list with some ties in it. I don't like novelty ties. In general, I don't like striped ties. Some are OK if they're not too prep school looking. I mostly like abstract geometric patterns. I don't need too many, just a few to round out my collection. I already have a lot to wear with blue shirts. I only have 2 or 3 that go well with my light green shirt. I don't have any really good ones for my red, pink and orange shirts.

Then I guess I'll return the glow-in-the-dark pop-up naked Frank Sinatra tie I bought for you.

After sixteen years together, you'd think you'd trust that a person knew you well enough to not buy you a novelty tie for Christmas.
Evidently, I'm still an enigma within a conundrum wrapped-up in a Whoopie Pie.
And of course, now I'll have to buy him a novelty tie.
Which is maybe what he wanted all along, him being an enigma within a conundrum wrapped-up in a very sensible slice of wheat toast.
I tink dis one is reeeeal clazzy and would go well with red, pink or orange.

Oh SNAP!

NOVEMBER ROFL AWARDS!
Ms. Chicky Chicky Baby and Metro Mama have announced the winners for November. The ROFL Award is basically an award that any blogger can give to any other blogger for a particularly funny-laugh-out-loud-soda-through-your-nose-pee-in-your-pants blog post. All you have to do is email Ms. Chicky Chicky Baby or Metro Mom and ask to get on the ROFL reminder list. They'll send you an email near the end of the month and ask for your nomination. You don't have to nominate every month, but when you do come upon one of those ROFLPIMP! posts, you can give the author an extra Attagirl! or Attaboy! with a nifty ROFL Award button.
Here be their emails:

And here be my awardee for November:
The very hilarious Melanie at Beanpaste who had me guffawing in glee over this story about her husband inhaling a crouton. Ehem.
Crouton Lung: The Not So Silent Killer
Honorary mention goes to her husband for being a good sport. And for sacrificing his

Jozet is kind, indeed.
On the tie tip, may I recommend something elegant and understated, perfect for his Sunday best:

I love the puppies playing poker. And you are right about the Crouton Lung post--funniest thing I've read in a long time.
Sadly, my husband would probably think that tie is da bomb. We are attending a very fancy schmancy party next Friday at a very fancy schmany place. He wears the same suit every year, but asked me to get him a new tie. He asked if I could find something that lights up. SIGH.
I so love the poker-playing dog tie! If only there were boxers to match. I also love the euphemistic "Curious George" reference - do you really have to wear a yellow hat?
Thanks so much for dropping by today! I'm still a newbie and don't get much traffic, so I really, really appreciate you're stopping by - it keeps the wind from whistling through my deserted blogsite quite so much!
Oh.
Oh. Ho. Ho.
Here's one with bold geometric shapes. AND a message.

Ding! One more present off the list!
Mwuhahahahahaha!
I'd be buying that tie, too...hehehe...I have a guy in IRaq who hates Twizzlers so just so he doesn't get too spoiled rotten I always but some in his box to hand out to his 'sick SOB' buddies who love them.
You need to go to a magic store and get one of those flower ties that squirt water.
I couldn't agree more with your nomination of Melanie and her crouton inhaling husband. One of the best ever.
That tie's not half bad, but I like to keep with the theme, therefore my husband has a collection of architectural and building themed ties (somewhere).
I think you absolutely must get a tie, especially one like that.
And beanpaste cracked me up right when I needed a good laugh. Bravo.

Using My Words
I think it's a subtle hint at a $300 Jerry Garcia tie.
you can't go wrong with dogs playing poker. or velvet elvis.
"enigma" ...that's funny I used that word today too. Enigma is just not used often enough.
How about a Rush Limbaugh tie?

Oh yes, nice tie.
I find portraits of cigar-smoking/pool-and-poker-playing pooches comforting.
but then, I imbibed more than my fair share of intoxicants in my twenties.
I'm not quite sure what that says about me.
Hilarious! I love that you guys email each other about it.
I have a couple of dodger ties that were presents a few years back if you want them. Clearly they were not a big hit over here.
You never fail to crack me up! Crouton lung, indeed!

Bossy only knows one thing - thank goodness she's not a man because that whole tying the tie thing looks real complicated.
Points to YOU. I mean, I'm a grown woman and can't make sense of his e-mail. Go with the poker dogs.
That tie is too funny, you should get it for him, just for not trusting you to know not to buy novelty ties. And the Crouton Lung was hilarious.
I wish I had an occasion to wear ties so I could wear that very tie.
