UGLY TIE CONTEST: $500 PRIZE

[Dr Doran]

Well, get to it and post more of your ties---ugly or otherwise.

I'm in Greece right now, dude.

 

[Dr Doran]

You like 70s ties?! How many can I give you?

Yuck. Surely some can be made into decent looking pocket squares?

No, just ugly looking pocket squares. You can't undo ugly by folding.

You have lovely timing. See any human torches running around the streets? Participate in any riots?

 

[Quigley Brown]

Darn it. How'd I miss this? This dude's got a few titles under his belt...

Pics of the street-demonstrations are on my facebook page ... too bad Justin is too 'cool' to be on facebook ... No riots yet. Sadly, 3 people died in a bank-bombing on Thursday the 6th. Happily, I was in Paris at that moment with a witness (my sister-in-law) so I cannot be implicated in this crime.

The background is so beautiful that it softens the ugliness of the cow. NOT UGLY ENOUGH, I'M AFRAID.

Let's see some uglies dammit.

What poorly rendered equines.

OK. I have a tie that may be a good entrant. It's a Native American tie of an ugly brown with the trailing bottom common to certain woven ties. A horrid singular picture in the middle. Perhaps also a horse. I will have to wait until I return to the USA to photograph it. It IS from the 1930s-1940s, but it's ... ugly.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Not that ugly. Any 70s tie can beat it.

I'd say it's a jumbled mess, but not real ugly.

That's bovinelicious! I don't think it's ugly!

lol And drunken printing press operator? Seems someone forgot to print the eye color, which gives the horse's eyes an eerie red glow.

crippled paisley/amoeba tie that I traded to Baron Kurz a few years ago

Could you post a pic of this tie to remind me which one it was? I have quite a few crippled amoeba ties! shakeshead

Quigley's cow tie would clearly have won this contest. What an unbelievably ill-advised tie! Someone went to the effort of designing that! Fantastic.

Horse ties are my favourites. I love the red eyes. Brilliant design feature.

If I ever find it again among stuff that is still in a box in another state, I'll send it to you!
