the Tuesday Song of the Week

On the weekend the hubbage and I went to see a movie (United Kingdom at the Carmike Theater in Voorhees, NJ), and afterward ate at the Black Olive in the little strip mall perpendicular to the theater.  

It's a Greek restaurant, and among the menu's list of side dishes was dandelions. 

We ordered that, and the hubbage said to the waitress, 'Dandelions don't tell not lies.'

She looked at him like he had two heads, then stopped and said, 'I... think...I know that from somewhere.'

This Tuesday Song of the Week is that somewhere:

'Dandelion' - the Rolling Stones

latest vintage ties for today's guys

Note that the ties aren't vintage, they're brand-new.

It's what's on the ties that's vintage, or, in this case VERY vintage:


The above tie bears a print of Odin with Huginn and Munnin from an 1871 magazine.

We got a cute Spanish dancer, or maybe gypsy dancer.

We got 'Chessie's* Old Man,' Peake.

This is Chessie.  She's very very famous.
And cute. SUPER cute.

Getting back to ties, we also got:
retro fruit crate imagery

The fruit being advertised is apricots.

Next up, 
something else super-cute.
Most of you know the drill by now.  The watermark isn't on the actual tie; it's only there to protect you from flying monkeys.

On to the next one:
Old Dutch Cleanser


And...

something super mega cute for autumn (but you can buy it now.  And you should.)

An adorable puppy watching the leaves fall.

Any and all of the above can be had here:


And all of everything can be had here:

The Tuesday Song of the Week

As you may know, Al Jarreau went to the big jazz club in the sky a few days back, so in his memory, we got...


'Moonlighting' - Al Jarreau

I never saw the show Moonlighting.  Just so you know.

My only Al Jarreau-related memory:

In one of my server jobs, the chef broke into song, 'Weeee're in this kitchen together...'

All these hundreds of years later, that still makes me laugh.
