It would be a shame to talk up such a great Father’s Day gift idea without giving one away. So here we go!

Father’s Day is this Sunday, 15 June so let’s make this a quick one. If you are in New Zealand and Australia Father’s Day is not celebrated until 7 September; Here in America, we’re cutting is a bit close.

We’ve all heard of loud ties. Well, you can now wear Noisy Dingos with your Hush Puppies.
I gotta have this for my dad and I deserve it ‘cos I’m the world’s foremost expert on the movie I’m not allowed to mention! But I can throw in the Bart Vs. Australia episode of The Simpsons for extra credit, can’t I?

a dingo ate my necktie
Hello! All I can say is my husband wears a tie to work everyday! I hope this reference doesn’t get me docked points. Mel Gibson used to be my most favorite Aussie actor! Please enter me in your delightful contest. I do appreciate it. Cheers, Cindi

My Dad looks like a dingo when he doesn’t wear a necktie, which is great when I want him to scare off an unintended suitor because most men are scared of dingos. There are times, however, when I want my Dad to look a little more inviting, and a little less like a dingo, at which point I’d ask him to wear this gorgeous tie.
My husband is no dingo, in the sense that he isn’t a wild dog or a bad person, so he needs this tie.

Okay, oddly enough Bob has coached Roo into screaming “the dingoes ate my baby!” recently. Super irritating and it probably disqualifies us from the competition, but I thought you should know. My pesky husband refuses to wear neckties but he sure would look dashing in this one. Oh, well.
I muffled my ears with a necktie when I found out that the reason this house was so cheap is because there’s a dingo farm next door. (That’s a Far Side reference.)
This necktie would be for me, because all of mine are old and busted.
Dingo ties, bingo ties, they’re all novelty ties. Men can use more fun in their dresswear. The tie would be for my husband :)
This tie would be for my Dad. He dresses up almost daily for his line of work, and goes through neckties quicker than a dingo in a sheep pen…okay…that’s lame, I know, but it’s the best I could do!

Sometimes, his tie Din-go with his shirt!
So, I’d love to win a new tie for my husband!
A diggity dingo of a necktie…love them all and would love to give my husband one for Fathers Day. We had a little girl in Sept so this will be his first Fathers Day. Also, he is looking for a new job so a snazzy new tie could give him the “ummph” that he needs to score a new job! Thanks for the giveaway!

I heard that Meryl Streps owns a Dingo named Bingo. She uses a silk necktie as it’s leash. :-)
I would give the tie to my husband. He loves getting a new tie.
Meryl Streep came over the other day and she brought me a Dingo. Yet, she failed to add a necktie to it’s attire.
Or something like that… lol. I want the necktie for my hubby because he only has 2. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
mistchlo@hughes[dot]net
I was supposed to go on a date with the notorious cougar Meryl Streep and I was excited to wear my new pink tie but it dingo together with any shirts and pants I had so I couldn’t go out. I’ve since bought a shirt and pants to match but have lost the aforementioned pink necktie. Please provide me with a new one so Meryl and I can have a chance at connecting again.
Din go to the coolest blog in the universe to win great giveaways…Petit elefant! Brownie points if I mention Meryl Streep rocked in Devil wears Prada.

my dad needs a new tie really bad, he loses them at such a rapid rate and says the dingo ate his necktie..
i bet he won’t lose a snazzy tie like this though!
I can see it now..
I will say : “Honey, get ready, we’re taking you out for Fathers Day!”
In his everso laid back manner, he will respond: “But sweetie, I’m still in my pajamas…”
And to this I will say “DINGO get ready dear”.
kee hee. get it? DIN GO? then go… dingo..
yes, it was a rather shameless attempt to woo the hostess. however, i want the necktie.
A tie! A tie, a fabulous Father’s Day tie! For my sweet baboo husband, (who is no Dingo!)
Great contest! A tie is the quintessential father’s day gift.
Ok – wanted to say a dingo took my husband’s necktie but truth is he rarely wears suits and probably cannot even FIND his neckties. It is always a special occasion when he does and the ones he has are very outdated.
A dango ate me Baby dotter. But the necktie will look great on me mate.
The dingo was scared of my husbands old out of date neckwear.
Are you going to wear your dingo tie to dinner?
Hmmm…how about: this necktie is cuter than a dingo! And it would definitely be for my hubby – who is also an awesome daddy!
My guy would so hot in that tie that not even a pack of wild dingos could keep my hands off of him…that’s supposed to be romantic.
Dingos have nothing to do with this necktie that I’d keep for myself if I win it.
Dingo for a Dad. So funny
Din-go and shut me out on this one ‘cos my hubby’s sad and somewhat vintage neck tie collection needs all the help it can get! Yup, this little nankeen number would make a hot-doggin dingo out of my sweet but fashion-challenged daddy-o! (Meryl would totally be digging him.)
bsabel(at)hotmail(dot)com
This would be for .
My husband has to wear ties 6 days a week, and he doesn’t want to look like a dingo by wearing the same ones each week – a new one would be nice!

i’ve never seen a dingo wearing a necktie
Din-go n buy my dad no tie. Now that I saw this a one I’m gonna buy me one of them there nankeen elm necktie. Din-go an tell no one ok? So you thought i couldn’t use dingo in a sentence huh?
Sometimes my hubby is the only Dingo in the room not wearing a tie, so he needs this one!
Dingo bingo is fun in the sun. Great giveaway, thanks!
What’s that dingo on your neck? My dad would love this!
My husband would most definitely not like a dingo for Fathers Day! He would, however, love this necktie!
…my Yellow Lab, Maxine, thinks she is a dingo: she will not eat her dog food unless I provide Vegemite as a condiment.
I wear a tie to work each day and I’d like to own a new one, one without an unsightly soup stain on it.

a dingo walks into a bar with a great tie on i had to let him know i have the same tie but it was casual night and used it as his leash
I would like to lead my husband around by the Dingo on his neck. I would give the tie to my husband because he would look great with it on.

my husband found a dog 11 years ago that looked just like a dingo, she was the best dog in the world. This tie would be for my husband he wears a tie every day to work!
tuesdayef(at)aol(dot)com
I used a necktie for my dingo’s collar. He looked so handsome!
What a great tie!!
my husband needs a new cool tie, because even the dingo wouldnt even eat it. i dont know.
it would be for my husband, he needs a tie that isnt a hand me down.
mesargent813 at yahoo dot com
Nice
If my husband was ever seen wearing a tie, his friends would say he’s gone dingo!
Dingo in a sentence. (does that count, I am not creative)
My husband is a dingo sometimes, but I still love him. :)

My son-in-law would love this tie.
This would look sooo sexy on my husband! THANKS!
royaldixie@charter.net
How did I forget to mention that the “Dingo ate my baby!”
I love that line!!!
These ties are Dingo-Dandy! My hubby would love one!
My dingo would look amazing in a necktie!
This would be for my husband! He would look handsome in it!

I wonder how often Ernie Dingo, Australian actor and TV host wears a necktie?
If you put a dingo on a necktie would people just think it was a dog?
My husband is a dingo because he din go to the important meeting with a tie. This tie is for him, and that’s why!
Mary Louise, or Meryl, as they call her ’round the world,
Is famous for her acting and blonde hair, straight or curled.
I won’t be tempted to relate how she knew of a dingo,
But will tell you that I know his name was not B-B-Bingo.
Now Bingo, as we know by now, was owned by a dear farmer,
At night, he cleaned up, wore a tie and was a ch-ch-charmer.
This would be for my husband – he’s never been out of the US but would die for this tie, and to see a live dingo! (afdr3d@umkc.edu)
For my boyfriend, I wanteD INGO Rademacher!?!
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
My husband is a school teacher and this would liven up all the sleeping dingos in the class.
Meryl Streep
Would sure love a Peep
At my husband looking cool as a Dingo and mighty lean,
In his very cool tie by Nankeen!
Don’t look like a Dippin Dingo and make sure your wearing a dingotastic neck tie!
LOL Connor’s dad would love it.
I blogged your contest on Prize-A-Tron Too!
http://www.prizeatron.com
In our family we usually refer to idiots like this:
“She is so DINGO!”
and then we laugh our butts off!
My husband would look great in a new fancy Dingo, it would match wonderfully with his black suit!

It has been my husband’s dream to travel to the land of dingos. This may be the closest he gets. I would love this for him because he needs a cool tie.
I would love this tie for myself, but I hope I dont look like a dingo wearing a man’s tie :)
I hope i’m the lucky winner :)

When I asked what happened to the last tie I bought for my husband on his birthday he replied “That damn Dingo ate it.” No kidding me I know he is dreaming of Meryl Streep. I would give him the tie because he would owe me and maybe he can stop dreaming of MS garrettsambo@aol.com
My father, to gamble is fond,
Some say he looks like James Bond,
Not a fan of Bingo,
Doesn’t own a dingo,
He’s not an Aussie,
But is quite bossy!
Wearing a dingo tie would make my hubbie fashionable.
does your necktie match your DINGO boots?
Dingo, Dingo….is anybody home? I’ve come to eat your………
all this dingo lingo is crazy. however, I would love to give hubby a stylin’ new tie!
while my husband would be the one to wear a Dingo necktie-I personally love my Dingo Ladies cowboy boots :)
I would love this for my husband-his first father’s day-since he is obsessed with ties!
Even a dingo would look better in a tie.
Buy a Dingo tie before the Dingos eat your baby.
Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada, would have loved to see this handsome tie on one of her rugged male models wearing jeans and matched with a pair of Dingo Comfort Flex Boots. It would have had her readers howling like Dingos at dinnertime.
I’d love to go where those dingos live. I’d like it for my son who goes to Catholic high school and wears a tie every day.
I like the silver 1.5 one. I would love to have 4 to put on my kids Christmas stocking this year. They love electronics. They can push them as promo products for Christmas
d i n g o and dingo was the tie name
Dingo has the best of the Dingoes a must for any well dressed male. thanks
Dingo is a cool word, try saying it 10 times fast. my dad would love this tie, he could wear it to work, thanks for the contest
I would love to see a necktie with dingos on it. It would be for my fiance. I would like to win this because he could use a new necktie.
