Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:18:14 UTC Jon Kulp @mk it's for testing the color of soup. -
Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:20:27 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp that would take a white tie. I don't think I've ever seen a white tie. Please try again. :p -
simsa0 (simsa0@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:21:12 UTC simsa0 To produce some stiffness of the neck, and with that posture. The detriment: This tiny constant pressure on the carotid artery reduces a little bit the oxygen supply of the brain. Now you know why we generally have bad laws in politics and bad decisions in the economy -- too many men with ties and a little lack of oxygen in their brains ... (Compare that with freethinking politicians like Alexis Tsipras and Yanis Varoufakis -- no ties but new thoughts)
@jonkulp @mkTemporary Marjolein repeated this. -
Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:24:42 UTC Jon Kulp @mk it's a good handle to pull dude away from displays of SSDs and laptops and stuff -
Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:26:07 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp nope - tie pre-date things like laptops and SSDs -
Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:27:30 UTC Jon Kulp @jonkulp @mk of course guys who are interested in these things generally don't rock a tie... -

Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:29:39 UTC Jon Kulp @mk wasn't the cravat originally something to keep the neck warm? It's a legacy wardrobe item. I like my bolo tie tho. Few things in men's wardrobe allow ornaments, bolo tie gives me a touch of turquoise. :) -
Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:31:35 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp I just found this: http://www.tie-a-tie.net/blog/the-evolution-of-the-necktie/ -
Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:33:33 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp and that page also explains the word "cravat' or "cravate": it's the Croations! -
Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:37:29 UTC Jon Kulp @mk interesting. It's apparently not been functional for a really long time. All about style! -

Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:39:33 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp and if you're really going for decoration, you should know that broches for men are coming into fashion now! ;-) -
Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:43:50 UTC Jon Kulp @mk no kidding? I doubt I'll ever do a broach but that's interesting. Normally I don't have any idea what's in fashion. Apparently for college girls it's leggings worn as if they were pants. -
Temporary Marjolein (mk@oracle.skilledtests.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 13:45:21 UTC Temporary Marjolein @jonkulp No kidding! I saw some photographs, too - quite nice. -

Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 17:28:28 UTC Jon Kulp @windigo I don't normally do neckwear but always choose bolo tie when neckwear is required -
Jon Kulp (jonkulp@micro.fragdev.com)'s status on Friday, 22-May-2015 18:55:20 UTC Jon Kulp @steveland people probably make fun of me too. /me doesn't worry about it
