For stealing my tie. That's really all there is too it. I'm glad that none of our faithful readers have commented on this. Let me ask it from point blank range. IS IT A PARTY FOUL FOR ONE DUDE TO BUY A TIE THAT ANOTHER DUDE ALREADY OWNS? IS IT A PARTY FOUL FOR ONE DUDE TO BUY ANOTHER PIECE OF CLOTING THAT ANOTHER DUDE OWNS (I.E. HAT OR SHIRT)? Someone answer the question for goodness sake.
So Andrew wanted me to blog even though it's Sunday and I typically don't blog on weekends. So here I am blogging. See the rift between us ... I do. I finished my U2 journey this weekend that I blogged about on Friday. It was a total bonus. Andrew mentioned that he likes U2 since no one has ripped their style and it's a totally distinct style. To this I would say two things:
1.) 311 sucks so no one has tried to rip their style off. Since U2 is so good bands have tried to imitate their sound so they too will be successful. No one tries to imitate 311 since even if they do it perfectly they will be ... marginally successful.
2.) U2 has been mimicked several times since they're been around since oh ... 1977. Oh yeah it's a long time. 311 is how old Andrew? Oh yeah not that old. Plus no one can mimick their sound since it's all over the map?
Being mimicked is not a bad thing, it's a good thing. U2 is killer and their rock sound is beautiful. If you listen to their career, they've reinvented themselves 5 - 6 times, depends on how you break it up. 1) Early years 2) Joshua Tree 3) Achtung Baby 4) Zooropa / Pop 5) All That You Can't Leave Behind 6) How to Dismantle ... U2 rules!
Those are my thoughts for tonight. I'm goin to hit the hay because tomorrow I'm up at 7:00 to drive to Grand Rapids, MI. I'm currently in Cincinnati, OH and it's about a 7 hour drive which really means 6 in terms of real drive time. So answer the dang question!!!!

I'll let 311 comment for themselves, but I'm going to take out their expletives:
"Can't nobody do it like 311, messing up competition because their really is none!"
Yep! 311's been around for almost 20 years, for the record.
Sorry Andrew, I am going have to go with Keith on this...it is a party foul to buy a piece of clothing that another dude owns. Its ok to get another color scheme, but as for getting the same thing...doesn’t work. I mean I could maybe understand if you roomed together (like you two do) and if you DIDN'T work together (which you don't).
Lets take a few examples.
1) Say you both wear the tie on the same day...then you are both tools.
2) One of you wears the tie on Monday then the other wears the same time on Friday if you have any people in your workplace that have great memories and they happen to notice that you two have the same tie...they can come up with certain conclusions
a) They think you share clothes...which could be a bad thing since most girls do that and it could be seen as a feminine trait and then the conclusion could be reached that you are homosexual (I know its really far fetched...but it could happen)
b) Your both tools
As for the U2 v. 311 debate...no question U2. Keith can testify to the fact that I am a little bit of a "ladies man." Being a "ladies man" I am good with words, especially with the saying of "sweet nothings" into unsuspecting girls ears. Now U2 has got me covered, I can sing the lyrics to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." She will get a tear in her eye and she is mine. Now what am I going to do with 311, sing "Come Original??"
