It has returned!

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.
