THE SOCIETY OF UGLY NECKWEAR

To some of us, Friday is the holiest day of the week. It is a celebration...a day when the culmination of the pressures & stresses of the workweek spill over & down across our ties like so much baby vomit. Welcome to the Society of Ugly Neckwear. We are Neckrophiliacs. We don’t have sex with dead people. We just really love ugly ties. If you've got something to say about ugly ties, feel free to shoot an email to the editorial board at joecarryon@gmail.com. Be sure to put "NECKROPHILIACS" in the title, & it's okay if you butcher the spelling.

Ahh, we’re slacking again! Deepest apologies from the Society of Ugly Neckwear, but really, what do you expect? Anyway, it’s time we knock this one out before tomorrow’s competition (it’s from a few weeks back — the last Friday in June).
Pete’s slick domino tie is an homage to parlour games everywhere. One thing’s for certain: This tie’s got more bones than a catfish. Thing is, Pete has no idea how to play dominoes. One thing he likes, though, is the IDEA of dominoes. We also hear it’s pretty fun to line ‘em all up on their ends in a long line & then push one over & watch ‘em go. Hours of buildup for a few short seconds of pleasure. Okay, so that sounds a little bit more like an exercise in wasting time. I’m gonna be honest, there’s not really a whole lot of appeal in that. Unless you’re shooting a commercial or something. For dominoes. The game, not the pizza company. Anyway, yeah…
Carson’s looney tunes tie was a little too gimmicky for our palate on the day in question. It left a bad taste, & on top of that it looks uncharacteristically crisp & shiny. Almost newish. I think this can be classified as a ‘mail-it-in’ week.
Pete took the competition, but the judges were roundly disappointed in the overall effort of the competitors. Shame on you two.
