taste or tasteless?

the bolo tie is an accessory that is intriguing, yet concerning. i question whether it is in poor taste or completely fantastic.

Welcome to a different part of the USA. Your assimilation will be slow but painless. I suspect a coloradan transplanted to baltimore might write a similar post about the long white tee.

Clearly, it is fantastic! ...within reason. Some are to-scale land mass replications, but many are great, colorful, cultural alternatives to the dreaded neck-tie. An absolute must-have, along with the taco-shaped straw hat.

i bought my dad a pink bolo tie for jesus' birthday once. it was a pig. it was totally pink. i was about nine when i bought it for him. he wore it once. but i think really what he did was wear it out of the house, take it off in the car on the way to work, and then put on either another bolo tie or just a regular tie. then he put it back on before he came home from work. because there was no way in hell my dad was going to actually wear that bolo tie. but i didn't know that when i was eight.
