26 June 08
On this date in 1284 - According to legend, the Pied Piper lured 130 children of Hamelin, Germany away. I know that technically the piper had been dealing with rats, not mice, but we can pretend that the creatures on my tie are "lab rats" to make the connection. This is a "Slice of Life" tie, named especially for having a horizontal slit on the front, about five inches from the point, to allow the tail of the tie to poke through. This one has a mouse (with a computer cable tail) running on a printout of names of cheeses.
