DIBS ON FIRST COMMENT!

i am going to try this later tonigt and if i light myself on fire, i'm blaming your sub mezoo

step 7 is awesome!

Luke... on Sep 25 '06

both informative and rebelious...
just my kind of concept...A+

staffell on Sep 25 '06

Great concept and great design.

However, step 7) should absolutely, most definitely read

Get tie caught in shredder" (or grinder/combine harvester/[insert machine with similar destructive power as previous].

I think it would be more fitting.

Rockslide on Sep 25 '06

Awesome, haha. I laughed and then chuckled. Great as always. I hope you get to laugh to the bank on this one.

dadadadoris on Sep 25 '06

ha ha ha my boyfriend has a little booklet full of tiagrams that he uses everytime he needs to wear one but he always gets so frustrated with the diagrams. and when he's wearing the tie, he constantly bitches about lighting it on fire
i'd totally buy this

slaterock on Sep 25 '06

oh, great sub mezo! I hate ties. Ties hate me. 'nuff said. $5.

speedyjvw on Sep 25 '06

i totally need this
5$ it!

adam antium on Sep 25 '06

haha!nice one mez!

Alex M. Solefish on Sep 25 '06

different font--plain old times new roman, perhaps? 4, otherwise. :)

maybe now you can work on the bow ties. they always seemed more difficult to tie.

runningwithcolours on Sep 25 '06

mate...why burn a perfect double windsor? haha

romolusIII on Sep 25 '06

that's exactly what i do

spires on Sep 25 '06

That's a bad knot. I'd not go so far as to burn the tie though. I love ties. Lovely diagram!

chelly on Sep 25 '06

visually, it looks like there is too many steps (maybe one). like, if i want anyone to actually be able to see the funniness of the shirt, i have to stand exactly like the models.

perhaps i should start practicing now. *akimbo*

denormaliser on Sep 25 '06

instructions shirts remind me of those terrible sexual positions shirts with cows and pigs and skeletons and things. this one especially.

KristyGrl on Sep 26 '06

I wonder how many people on here are old enough to remember the ad with Jazzy Jeff (as in DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince at least I think it was Jazzy Jeff) - for Converse maybe?
I'm know I'm going to be saying to myself 'and then you grip the hat...

Pink Apple on Sep 26 '06

I seriously was not expecting the "burn" step. I laughed out loud (and immediately thought of my bf). I can't stop looking at it, and it makes me smile every time. Standing applause!

mezo on Sep 26 '06

Alex- the font is not Times, but it is Vendome. I thought a serif/classier font worked best.

Kristy! You've spotted my inspiration! (That commercial was for Starter® hats) Old chicks UNITE.

Thanks for the comments, folk.

stingerstyler on Sep 26 '06

this would be so handy!

Ste7en on Sep 26 '06

First, I think its awesome, but there are a couple of things...oh you know you deserve this :)

While it probably suits the look of a diagram best, im not used to mezo subs with a single line weight. It also makes the hands look a bit messy. I also wonder why you didnt make the numbers in a uniform position all the way through the design.

Still a 5$, because its got nice colors, it makes me feel warm inside (because I set my tie on fire while wearing it), and overall its still very well drawn.

Rock Deputy on Sep 26 '06

awesome! and handy... $5

MadTheologian on Sep 26 '06

$5! I love the final step! It took the cake.

squintygirl on Sep 26 '06

I usually burn the tie halfway through the tying process, but I should have waited until I was done before I burned it. I feel like I've learned something today. 5$

hogboy on Sep 26 '06

swweeet.... NOW I get how to put on a tie....$5

brenden_strang on Sep 26 '06

if you remove the word "you" it makes it more info design like. i would really like wearing this to work with all the suits around. great 5$

grayehound on Sep 26 '06

I almost missed the last step, but then title caught me, then I saw the last step, then I saw it was from you. I totally would wear this.

R G on Sep 26 '06

nice and usefull!

BasicShift on Sep 26 '06

What I love about this sub is its subtle finger in the face of "the man" approach. I think it invites the viewer to look more closely after being intrigued by the instructional diagrams for the tie, and thats when the fun happens!

$5

Some Person on Sep 26 '06

i hate ties so much. but why would you take the time to tie it if you were just about to destroy it anyway?

crisco disco on Sep 26 '06

this would have totally helped me right before junior prom 5 years ago. good thing the internet was around then.

kirrashi on Sep 26 '06

Wouldn't it be even more usefull if the text was mirrored? ^^ then you could read it while tie-ing..

jublin on Sep 27 '06

so THIS is why you wanted me to model? i thought it was just so you could check out my guns. I bet you wanted to check out sick ass neck and delicately structured finger bones.

yeah... i just said finger bones. GET USED TO IT!
oh and do i even have to say it?

yes i do. 0 and no buy.

shoeshine on Sep 27 '06

hahaha. :D love it.

catdogpigduck on Sep 27 '06

yes yes yes, i need this

Vindicator03 on Sep 27 '06

awesome! i need one

organ-donor on Sep 27 '06

really cool.. i like it.. i'd buy it

magdela on Sep 27 '06

awesome, i like the idea of it getting caught in a shredder. seems to fit the story better.

godofvengeance on Sep 27 '06

YES!!! I hate ties. I absolutely despise them, and I hope that they make this shirt so I can get one for my dad, who absolutely hates ties too...

psshaw on Sep 27 '06

$5. God do I need to learn how to tie a tie.

therecouldbenothingafterThis on Sep 27 '06

i cant tie one.. and i hate them. so this is perfect. 5$

helloklaire on Sep 28 '06

i think this is sooo cute! i would definetly make a purchase but i think i'd like it without the words. its does fine without them.

De_El on Sep 28 '06

I like it, but I wonder if it might work better without the text. It's great anyways though.

coxiesara on Sep 28 '06

I don't think the text is needed.

MarcieD on Sep 28 '06

haha this is funny.

RaeKuusou on Sep 28 '06

I'd like this design on a tie.

BradLand2 on Sep 28 '06

so much better w/o the text

DeadPoetic_Underoath on Sep 29 '06

hah cool..the stage 7 is awesome! 5$

DazedAndConfused on Sep 29 '06

I love the concept, but it seems more like a poster or a notebook or something that people have time to read. When I'm walking by, I don't want every other person to tell me to stop so that they can read my shirt. But I certainly love the concept, and you get a 4 for it.

bluesunset on Sep 29 '06

Very informational. There are a lot of people who don't know how to tie ties, myself being one of them. Now I know.

amy122166 on Sep 30 '06

ha-ha!! good one!

Lnb61390 on Sep 30 '06

Ha, I love it, especially the burning part!
And now i finaly learned how to make a tie! lol
5 and $

AWorldApart on Sep 30 '06

YOU GOT YOURSELF A MEDIOCORE SHIRT.

buminthepark on Sep 30 '06

i'd like it more if there weren't the directions and just the pictures.

Mr Rocks on Sep 30 '06

Great stuff as always Steph. $5 & a x.

jaqle on Sep 30 '06

:-D LOL Just great! I'd absolutely get it for my partner who has an almost pathological hatred of ties! $5

sideways_cat on Sep 30 '06

haha yea thanks for teaching me how to tie a tie

very nice

tooni on Oct 01 '06

yes, please!!
$5

msm on Oct 01 '06

who hoo. 5$ even on the blue

tsetse on Oct 01 '06

I agree that there should be no text. Simplicity rules! Great concept, Ms. Mezo.

specialdave on Oct 01 '06

i love this, text and all!
5$

Lupencia on Oct 01 '06

Excellent! This would have been great when I was is school and had to wear that horrible uniform with a tie, ugh. 5$

inhaler97 on Oct 01 '06

cool.. I think without text would be best.

timrb on Oct 01 '06

I'm going to agree. No text.

scart on Oct 01 '06

sehr awesomeness $5

FRICKINAWESOME on Oct 02 '06

as soon as i read this, I started thumbing through my memory banks and started rappin "First you twist the hat....then you SLAM the hat!" That i think is the funniest part of this entire endevour mezo! lol. This is ultra fitting for me since I had to put a tie on recently for the first time in years and had actually forgot how to do so! I think no text would make it even better though..and I am a major text defender around these parts. Nice work!
