The Tie that Ties - Trivia


Billy Mitchell's daily tie? Is it further evidence of his role identification with Donkey Kong? Clearly, the producers of The King of Kong thought so when they asked Billy what his initials were. Billy Mitchell's response was ambiguous, making reference to wearing a tie with the USA flag on it on the previous day.

I was wondering if that made his initials B.U.M. but I don't think that is what he meant.

  1. Ha Ha! So true about the initials. I think there is something in the Bill of Rights that states that you are a traitor to the country if you wear patriotic ties with misguided fashion sense, accompanied by an extremeist form of delusions of grandeur. If that's what symbolizes being an American than all our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves.

  2. I don't think Billy subscribes to the Bill of Rights, considering his violation of the Fourth Amendment via Twin Galaxies "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures."

    However, it is possible that Billy belongs to a religion that requires him to wear tasteless ties. Unless the ties were very funny, I think that would make the Bill of Rights Writers quite squirmy.
