Cane-Toad Bow-Tie: Stranger than Aardvark Fiction Item #5

Published by Bob Ragsdale at 9:16 am under Aardvark, Stranger than fiction

For formal occasions when a tuxedo, or kilt with Prince Charles jacket are called for, a man needs a good bow-tie – one that set’s him apart from the crowd without coming off like a pipe smoking, tweed sporting professor of theoretical economic navel gazing. Sure you could go with the standard black silk variety (if you could actually figure out how to tie the damm thing) but its so…normal.

What a dashing man about town needs to set the tone for the evening is a Cane-Toad Bow-Tie. We ordered ours today from Crocodile Australia.

The Cane Toad (bufo marinus) was first introduced into Australia from Hawaii in 1935. It was hailed as the cure to the ravages of the dreadful sugar cane beetle. Unfortunately like many guests, it has long overstayed its welcome and has since become a pest. That’s why we encourage you to put your fashion sense to good use – buy a Cane-Toad Bow-Tie and help wipe out this pesky amphibian.

While most items in our book are from our imagination, the Stranger than Aardvar Fictions items are 100% real. Crazy no?
