Do you know the history of the tie? Why do we wear a long, thin piece of intricately designed fabric instead of, say walking around with our chest hair out like we’re in a 1980s hair band, or with necklace of the scalps of our enemies (although I’m pretty sure we had a temp once who wore one…very creepy)? Well, thanks to the all-reliable and easily accessible Wikipedia, I found out. I’ll give you the short version, since I know you’re in a hurry (the fact that you’re even reading this at all amazes me). It started with the time of the Thirty Years War in the mid 1600s when Croatian mercenaries wore small, knotted neckerchiefs called cravats, which caught the eye of the Parisians (of course, Parisians, those snobs). It started a fashion craze in Europe, and suddenly everyone, even women, was wearing them. The Cravat became more and more popular until it eventually led to the formation of stocks, scarves, and bandannas. Then, when the industrial Revolution hit, men needed neckwear that was easy to put on, comfortable, and would last an entire workday. The modern necktie, as is still worn by millions of men today, was born. It was long, thin and easy to knot and it didn’t come undone. And that’s basically the history of the knot in a nutshell, written by a collection of unmoderated web writers and filtered by another unmoderated web writer (me). So take it for what it’s worth. But one thing is for sure. A good tie is meant for gentlemen, Lords, soldiers, and the fashion elite. And today’s Daily Deal, the Dunhill Dark Blue necktie, will bring out the gentleman in anyone (yes, even you, you poor slob).

Alfred Dunhill Sidecar Rollerball Weave Palladium Pen NUE3493.A super-fine writing instrument for businessmen and ninjas alike. This deal of the day is $155 (68% off the $480 retail price). Sale ends at midnight tonight (EST). December 5, 2009.
Here’s a little something different. The new sections on JomaDeals allows us to go out and try some new things. Like this Alfred Dunhill Sidecar Rollerball Weave Palladium Pen. The longer the name, the better the pen. And this pen is awesome. If this pen were in the middle of the road about to get hit by a car, and my girlfriend was also in the middle of the road, and I had time to save both of them, I’d take my extra time to make sure that I got the pen out of the road and let my girlfriend get hit. It’s that cool. Imagine if the founding fathers signed the declaration of independence with this pen. Then they’d all have the balls to sign like John Hancock. Imagine if you signed the merger with that Japanese firm with this pen instead of with that wimpy little Bic. Instead of a merger with old, short, Japanese guys in business suits, you’d have a merger with killer ninjas who you’d get to battle every afternoon at around 2pm to help shake off the post-lunch drowsiness. Try not being excited to go to work with that going on. The possibilities are endless. At the very least, it’s the never fail, always strong, always a good impression, power business pen. So buy today, and enjoy battling ninja businessmen every day for the rest of eternity (my life now has purpose).
