For the 8-Bit Office
From: http://www.thinkgeek.com/apparel/hats-ties/9352/
A few of us monkeys at ThinkGeek had this great shared dream a few months ago. In it, the whole world was 8-Bit, just like the video games we grew up on. We found ourselves having to leap from platform to platform, to search for pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and to fight scary mutated plants and animals. The music was awesome (and still stuck in our heads) but the coolest part was what we were wearing: a tie. But not just any tie, an 8-Bit tie!
We woke up screaming. An 8-Bit tie - what an awesome way for the drones of Cubeland to show their independence from Corporate America! So, we did what we knew you'd want - we had the ties made. 100% silk, clip on** (for easy dressing), and custom designed by us for you. You'll be the envy of the office or, at least, you'll get tons of attention. You'll be just like Mario when he wore a tie to meetings when negotiating his contact with Nintendo. Sure the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 are out there with all their super technology, but sometimes it's nice to remember the beginnings of the video game revolution. Viva la 8-Bit!
**The tie *needs* to be a clip on tie to preserve the simple, right angle, 8-bit lines that, well, are the very reason you want this tie. We've thought about it, trust us. It is still 100% silk though. And hey, nobody will even notice, we promise. And if they do notice, just scream 'DING!', perform a roundhouse kick (8-bit style) and scroll right fast to get to the next level.
