These Commodore 64 Necktie Are BASICally Awesome

Posted on by

Man, I miss playing around on my old Commodore 64 computer. I never really knew how to code or anything, but with the help of popular computer magazines I could type in one of the many fun programs within the pages. Plus the games were awesome for the time. I’m almost nostalgic enough to wear one these cool Commodore 64 Neckties from Cyberoptix.

They come in several colors, including the classic blue Commodore monitor color, with BASIC code printed all over them along with the C64 start screen. They also have the “POKE” command which was used to control all three C64 voice oscillators.

These hand-printed ties are awesome and nerdy. Wear them with pride.

Death Star and TIE Fighter Tie is for the Well-dressed Sith

Posted on by

If you have a job where you have to wear a tie everyday, I would imagine that job would drain your soul, like Darth Vader drains the life from disobedient subordinates. The only real way to hold onto your soul is to wear ties that look professional from afar, but up close they reveal your real personality. Behold, my fully functional TIE!

This tie is perfect for people who are stuck having to wear a fabric noose, but want to show they aren’t just lemmings. It looks like a normal shiny red tie with a grey pattern from a distance. Up close you can see that the tie has little Death Stars and TIE fighters on it. It blew my mind a little when I realized it was a TIE fighter tie.

It’s snazzy and if you have to go to a formal dance or something, it says formal, but fun. Get yours at ThinkGeek for $54.99(USD), which seems expensive, but it is silk, and it’s hard to put a price on sticking it to the man at work.

Yoda Silk Tie: Dress for Success You Will

Posted on by

I remain ever grateful that I don’t have a job that requires me to wear ties. I only wear them when I absolutely have to and even then, I ditch the tie as soon as possible. Occasionally, I run across cool neckties that make wearing one at least a little more bearable for those who must wear one.

The latest cool tie is this Yoda Silk Tie. The tie is navy blue with pink Yoda silhouettes all over it. From a distance, it looks like a normal patterned tie. You have to get up close to see that it’s actually something geeky.

It’s made from 100% silk in Italy, not Dagobah. You can get your own Yoda tie at ThinkGeek for $64.99.

Star Wars Rebel Fighter Necktie: Elegant Neckwear for a More Civilized Time

Posted on by

It would suck to have a job where you had to wear a tie all the time. I’ve had to wear ties on occasion before and that sucked bad enough. With Father’s Day coming up, you might be on the lookout for something to give dad that is geeky and cool.

If pops is a fan of Star Wars and works for an evil emperor that makes him wear a tie, this is your huckleberry. What we have here is a Rebel Fighter Tie from ThinkGeek. It’s actually made from silk and is limited edition. The tie has little silhouettes of tiny X-Wings and the Millennium Falcons on it, but shockingly no TIE Fighters.

You can get one for $64.99, which might seem expensive if you have never priced ties. The tie cartel seem to do a great job keeping pricing high for a product no one really wants to wear.

Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Ties?

Posted on by

Every time I wear a tie, I think the person who invented it must have been some sort of bosshole who wanted a choking device attached to the neck of all employees just in case he needed to set an example. If you have a job where you have to wear a tie, you should really find another job. But if you can’t or you like your job too much, at least get some fun ties.

These Batman silk ties are pretty cool as far as choking devices go. They are made from silk and one of them is sort of silvery-grey with yellow Batman logos on it. The other is blue and has the Batman cowl.

The word “cowl” always makes me think of a car, I just call it the Batman hat, you know the part with his pointy fake ears. Either of these ties will set you back $49.99(USD) at ThinkGeek, which is a lot of money for something uncomfortable that none of us really want to wear.

R2-D2 Tie: Business Droid

I think the tie is one of the most universally hated pieces of men’s clothing. I’d rank it right up there with pants for articles of clothing I prefer not to wear. There are some geeks out there that are required to wear a tie. If you can’t just quit that terrible neck constricting job, at least you can geek it up a bit with this R2-D2 necktie.

It has little R2 prints all offer it that are subtle, you can probably slip this past your stuff boss for a month or so before he realizes you are non-conforming with your conformity.

It’s made from silk, which looks and feels nice, but you can’t wash it in the machine. It should fit most guys, unless you are freakishly Chewbacca tall. It’s 60-inches long and 3.25″ wide.

You can pick one up at ThinkGeek $49.99(USD).
