Neck-Ties: What the hell?
    #7513866 - 10/13/07 10:25 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Has anyone given a second thought as to what a neck-tie simply is? Its a piece of clothe you put around your neck that dangles down to your belt loop. I've thought about this while tripping, and i just could not for the life of me, understand how a neck-tie became a socially accepted thing. How did the neck-tie evolve into what it is? Did some guy with a scarf hang it down from his neck one day and go "whoa! this would look great with a blazer!"

Some one please explain to me how this came to be.

It just baffles me. Is anyone else here on the same page as me?

First off, both of your avatars are great. 2nd, I've wondered the same thing, although I do like to wear one from time to time.

Great question.

I think it's no coincidence that they resemble a noose. Thank God I never have to wear one to work.

neck ties are there to tell if someone is drunk or not. Those of us with a bit of the creature in us will have a loose distressed necktie. While those of us ready for a funeral will have a clean dressed one.

True enough I guess. Except that body piercing... dates back thousands of years in cultures around the world for a variety of reasons. The ancient Egyptians were pierced. The Mayas and Aztecs pierced themselves to make themselves look more fierce to their enemies. In South America woman pierced their lips to look more attractive. In the Middle East nose piercings were common in woman. Roman's pierced their nipples to signify their strength and virility. Gladitorial slaves had the heads of the penis pierced to prevent injury and to prevent them from having sex without the owner's consent. Tribes all throughout the world have used piercings for thousands of years as part of their magickal ceremonies.

Neckties... however... are a very recent phenomena, a product of corporate America, (with many similarities to a noose) and serve no purpose (imo) except to cut off circulation to the neck and make you look like a tool.

Regardless of whatever mystical properties you assign to your pieces of metal, both piercings and neck-ties are still 100% physically useless social identifiers people use.

Its just a way to mark your "tribe", whether it be tattooed non-conformists or money-making Wall St. types...

After a long hard day at the office you can use the Neck Tie to hang yourself in the closet. Its the buisness option for some.

Suppose you're right about that. 'sept one tribe lives in harmony with the Earth and the others ravage it for selfish reasons.

Your opinion, obviously.

I'm sure most of the people who run environmental cleanups and ecological organizations all over the planet wear neck-ties. That doesnt make them bad people.

And conversely, there are plenty of tattooed and pierced meth freaks pouring drano and anhydrous ammonia into the crik behind their trailer.

Bad people come in all shapes, colors, and yes, even clothing preferences.

Dont be so close minded.

I dunno but I have this black suit, I wear a black shirt under it, and I have two bright ass yellow ties.

I got laid by some Canadian bitch on vacation because of that suit.

Ties make me fucking adorable.

Yes, it's weird that neck ties are worn, but I still dig 'em.
So what if there's no purpose to them, doesn't mean I shouldn't wear them. Seems like a foolish reason to portray them in a negative light.

Anyone with piercings except a female with two on the ear is a tool.
