I am a huge fan of PeeWee Herman, and Jeffrey Tucker. PeeWee expressed his distrust in government when the police failed to do anything to protect his private property. “I knew the police wouldn’t help” he sadly confessed (youtube video). I guess nobody protects property better than private owners.
PeeWee had a certain style and manner of dress that made him attractive despite his social awkwardness, it would seem that same manner of dress just so happens to be the dress of a man: Tucker article.
I am in the market for a new job, perhaps I should get a new suit and bow-tie.
Jeffrey Tucker is my favorite austrian for his sense of style, and his speeches. He’s an excellent spokesman, and really grows on ya. He singlehandedly made me respect the bowtie, and got me to stop using shaving cream.
Definitely did enjoy Tucker’s article on dress/style during the Great Depression. I also stopped using shaving cream, but instead of doing it after a hot shower, I’ll put ice-cold water on my face before shaving. Supposedly it helps the whiskers stand up better, for a closer shave. Sometimes I shave after a hot shower, but I always rub the cold water into the areas of my face that are to be shaved before I actually shave. Shaving is much quicker, cleaner, and closer now. I never nick myself anymore.
I have to be honest. In the kindest possible way, bowties look ridiculous. And Jeffrey Tucker looks extremely similar to PeeWee Herman. I don’t know why I never saw the similarity before.
I disagree. I think it’s poor taste to compare PeeWee to Jeff. The two are very different, as far as their characteristics of men are concerned. Ofcoarse my only understanding of Peewee is from the movies. Still I wouldn’t compare the two at all, and Jeffrey makes the bowtie look fantastic, just as Rothbard did, and as many in the Austrian school do.
If you think the bowtie is rediculous, do you think James Bond looks rediculous?
