Hey, and this is the "fake" Virginia....

So my mom, av_lad and I were wandering through Wal-Mart when what to our wondering eyes should appear than a rack of novelty ties. You know, the usual: Penguin, snowman, Redskins, sports, sports, World's Best Dad, Jesus on the cross.

Me: Oh. My. God.
AV Lad: Mmmm?
Me: No! Literally! Oh. My. God. ::pulls out tie::
AV Lad: Oh. My. God.
Mom: Take a picture!

And so, without further ado, the novelty necktie rack at the Manassas, VA Wal-Mart (be sure to click for larger images; trust me, you need the full effect):

Nothing spices up a business lunch like Crucifiction neckware!


Only slightly more subtle


Can't sleep, ICHTHYS will eat me!


If you can't display 'em at the statehouse, slap 'em on your tie!


The ultimate crib sheet


And smack in the middle of them all -- why am I not surprised? (Though the county did turn blue!)


And then, buried behind everything...

Every international mega-conglomerate televangelist ministry has to start somewhere!

Have you seen the Christian science neckties? They tie themselves!

[caryabend.livejournal.com]

Sounds similar to the Creationist Neckties, except they come pre-tied.

I want a necktie of God burying dinosaurs.

OK, that fish... seriously disturbing. Like, *nightmare* disturbing.

I keep hearing Tony the Tiger:

"God is GRRRRRRREAT! And part of your complete breakfast!"

Who knew the dieties came packaged in serving sizes of 1?

[ladyvyola.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!

I just backed away slowly, afraid to catch its eye....

Jesus died for your fashion sense? (Your in the general term, not you personally.)

[ladyvyola.livejournal.com]

One of my ex co-workers wore the freaky fish tie to work and it was at that moment - I knew we'd never "BBQ" together. o_0

If you know what I mean and I think you do!

On the other hand, at least ties are, more or less, "outerwear". I just know that there must be boxer shorts in the same vein and horrified snickering in the bedroom is bad for everybody involved.

OMG!

Where are the Judean People's Front ties? (Sorry, I mean People's Front of Judea).
