I wouldn’t wear a bow tie even if it were James Bond’s wedding day.
This thread has made me nostalgic for the good ol’ days when Tucker Carlson donned a bow tie on TV. It was a dark day when he switched over to the normal style. I highly doubt he wore a bow tie as a tribute to Rothbard, nor do I think that was his way of being a contrarian. Given how messy his regular ties always looked, I think the man simply can’t tie them.
ok, rothbard is in fact a sexy beast, and the bow certainly adds to that. but how do austrians reconcile mises’ choice in neck paraphinalia?
If you don`t care what other people think, why bother broadcasting anything?
If youre broadcasting "an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think" it means you actualy want other people to think you dont care what they think. So you do care what they think.
Jim Rogers wears a bowtie too. I’m sure he doesn’t know what the Austrian school is, but he’s very negative to government intervention.
Why don’t you think Jim Rogers knows of the Austrian School? My guess is that he knows quite a bit about it.
In my own case, I started wearing them when I was in college, just because I learned how to tie them and I liked that they didn’t get in the way. but once you start, you are stuck. Only later did I read that book called Dress for Success which recommends against them on grounds that people tend to suspect that bow tie wearers are secret “bomb throwers.”
There is probably truth in that!
Aye! With some conditions. If we’re going to wear bowties, we should probably make our remaining attire very stylish, you know to have an equilibrium of classiness with coolness. What do you say of my demands?
Why do you wear clothes? My point has been made.
Agreed!
Then it’s settled the bow tie is officially our clothing symbol!
Only on holidays and special occasions and along with the bowtie. [:P]
Aye!
Intellectual bombs of knowledge that destroy all invalid arguments within the vicinity. [:D]
damnit now i have to order the mises bow-tie to match the long tie! arrgghh
