The Bacon Tie - Necktie of the Month

The Gun Carrying Libraian - An Officer - retired, and a Librarian

I found this really cool site with lots of great info and a special post called Necktie of the Month.  Here is my note worthy comment regarding a fairly conservative necktie, the first post I found, from there it got really interesting.  A Bacon necktie and that's not all.  Imagine a guy that has the full spectrum of ties; novelty ties, strange neckties, and as I mention below, conservative neckties. He even has Snoopy Ties - I love Peanuts and I really love Snoopy.  

But it is not just ties that I found interesting on the blog.  Just imagine that your best friend is a librarian and he has tonns of really cool stuff to talk about and in a really articulate way.  There is just too much to tell so I suggest that you visit the blog for yourself and don't forget to checkout the necktie of the month category, for heaven's sakes.  http://guncarryinglibrarian.wordpress.com/

July 6, 2011 at 11:46 pm - A Conservastive Tie - The Necktie of the Month,  Jeffrey Hunter Says:  Nice Tie. Not too conservative -nice pattern. Although I make a living selling novelty and wild fashion neckties that are mostly collector items I do appreciate all ties as long as they are not ugly. Now, that is a really hard thing because “there is no such thing as an ugly tie, just that some ties are more beautiful than others.”

Actually, if you substitute the word tie and ties for woman and women (respectively) you will have a famous quote once said by a Cuban guy I befriended in Miami in 1993. Renee had a way with words and women. He kind of reminded me of Ricky Ricardo, no kidding - he also wore ties religiously.

THE BACON TIE -Necktie of the Month May 2011
Here is a synopsis of a post in one of this blog's many categories The Bacon Necktie - Being a true lover of bacon, I’m surprised that I do not yet have one of these whimsical neckties (a deficiency that will probably be corrected before the end of the day).................I wonder if these neckties would be better at “hiding” the occasional grease spot that one invariably gets on ones neckties?......... read the entire post here

Charlie Brown and his best friends Snoopy

Over 40 countries license the Peanuts gang generating more than two billion dollars annually. Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts had pursued a career in cartooning after serving in WWII. He worked for the St. Paul Pioneer Press drawing a weekly comic strip and also for the Saturday Evening Post before he created Peanuts. On October 2, 1950 the Peanuts Gang debuted in seven newspapers nationally.

By 1965 Schulz was honored two times with the Reuben Award by the National Cartoonists Society. In 1999 when Schulz retired Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts characters were syndicated in more than 2,600 newspapers worldwide.

Charles Schultz

A half a decade after Peanuts was first printed as a comic strip was an international success with television specials and Snoopy was already an Internet search keyword of note worthy value. The peanuts characters adorned apparel including neckties and every other product imaginable became an instant success.

Peanuts became a worldwide phenomenon in part thanks to the cute beagle affectionately called Snoopy who became the most recognized canine on the planet. His friend Charlie Brown who was forever struck with bad luck and grief made a pair not unlike Hope and Crosby, Laurel and Hardy or even like someone everyone knew and his pet or visa-verse. Everyone could identify with Charlie Brown and Snoopy and that was what has made Peanuts cartoons so lovable. In 2000 Shortly after his death and the same day of the final Peanuts Sunday cartoon strip appeared the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center opened in Santa Rosa California. That site has become the archive of all of Schulz’s not unlike the foundations for master artists like Monet, or Van Gogh.

On April 23, 2010 Peanuts was sold for $175 Million Dollars 60 years after its creation. Peanuts is worth over two billion dollars a year in licensed merchandise. The goodwill that Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts characters offer will only grow bigger. Those Peanuts neckties are licensed collector items and many of our Snoopy ties are no longer made.
