Update:
You know you’re old when you finally – after hours of searching – find the old CBS station bumper music and it takes you back to the early/mid 70’s. And you think of Bill Bixby in The Incredible Hulk (Friday nights) and how James Garner in The Rockford Files (Saturday nights, I think) was pretty darned entertaining and all that…
To a kid that sound was kind of mournful/spooky.

Cruel Wife passed on this link. It’s what I need. Like burning.
In order to convince you to run over there and buy a dozen of them, here is the appetizer.
Lemur King's Folly 
*Facepalm*
You want one, don’t you?
I’ll send you one. At last, a Christmas where I don’t feel odd giving someone a tie.
A. Bacon. Tie.
You have to get one. It’s a moral imperative.
Yup, we watch both of those shows. Dad LOVED the Rockford Files. He even bought a gold Firebird car, but with the vinyl top so it didn’t look exactly like Jim’s.
Do I know my hubby or what? When I saw that tie, I couldn’t believe he hadn’t found it first!
You do know him well, CW, and I was totally shocked he hadn’t seen it yet. You should revoke his Man Card ™ for that.
I will seek out a deodorant with the scent of Wildflowers and Shame if you insist, but please don’t revoke my Man Card ™ – I have so little left that I can call my own.
Right, just what I need–another reason for my brother’s insane dog to jump in my lap at Christmas.
I’d be wary of drunkards too, LK, especially after the hors d’oeuvres are gone.
When I first scanned your comment, CM, I thought you wrote “another reason for my brother to jump in my lap at Christmas”.
It was a brief glimmer of hope that finally at last I’d found someone with a stranger family than my own. No such luck.
Someone nibbling on your tie… wouldn’t that just make a great R-17 movie? Would scare the piss out of me.
Perfect comedy scene:
Protagonist wearing bacon tie “accidentally” gets it on the BLT sandwich he is putting together, hilarity ensues as he tries to eat same, and or comments about how “funny” the bacon in his sandwich tastes.
I just had a homemade turkey club sandwich last night, GuyS, so that imagery is particularly vivid.
“MMmmmph – that’s some pretty chewy turkey there, boss.”
That bacon tie looks awesome on your computer screen, but in real life, its not nearly as good. I’ve got one. So far not one person has recognized it as bacon without me telling them first what it is.
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but save your money.
