I used to wear them all the time, until I got into the tech biz where no one wheres ties anyway. My former best friend of so many years, Sudhir Rao, rest his soul, used to affectionately call me "king bow tie shit." One of those weird meaningless high school boy phrases that just stuck over the years. At one point later in life I traded a big pile of those ties with him for a much bigger pile of sweaters; he was always so generous in that way. At Sudhir's funeral, our third "musketeer" friend from school that I hadn't seen in so many years called me "king bow tie shit" and well, it was an emotional moment. Keep the bow tie flame alive!
