The band is called "Dragonforce," and is all the buzz in the prog-metal world (if you haven't been following...). The dual-solo around 3:30 into the clip is hilariously awesome.
Why do I bring it up? I'm proud that someone searched for "selling my own fresh hot sperm" (according to this search on AOLstalker.com) and not only did Pud.com show up in the results for, but the user clicked it!
I have nightmares about Google releasing my own search queries... :-/
So there's this new thing called Clickdensity that makes a "heat map" of your website, showing where people click and hover their mouse.
I added it to Ask Pud two days ago, and found that the most-clicked links on my site are the "Business, Sex, Music, Art, etc." graphics at the top of the page -- WHICH AREN'T EVEN LINKS.
Conclusion -- either I'm a terrible designer, or you people are stupid.
Are tie bars/tie clips still fashionable in the workplace? I know my grandfather wore one in the 50s and 60s, but how about now? And if they are, where can I find one? None of the fine men's clothiers around me carry them... not even JoS. A. Bank.
Thanks, JM
JM,
The original purpose of these devices was to keep your tie centered and attached to your shirt at all times. They evolved into fashion pieces, as so many functional trends do. But nothing's more unfashionable than a necktie dipped in tomato soup, so if you're a messy eater, go for it.
But to answer your question, tie accessories are currently out of fashion, but will be making a comeback soon -- especially as jewelers wise up and make modern-looking tie clips with thick right angles, and optionally with lots of bling.
So like all fashion trends on the cusp of popularity, you can only wear one if you're either 1) fashion forward, 2) very attractive. Anything else and you'll look like a doof.
If you're not fashionable enough for a tie clip but want to keep your tie out of your soup with class, use a leather tie-down, which is a strap that wraps around the label on the back of your tie, and has button holes to affix to your shirt, keeping everything in place.
Why are you alone in all your food pictures? Are you lonely?

Thanks for your concern but I'm alone in the pictures because I generally don't expose photographs of my friends to the freaks and weirdos who read Ask Pud.
But if you really want to see me with other people, there are some pics here. That said, everyone's lonely.
