UGLY TIE CONTEST: $500 PRIZE

[jamespowers]

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

Me either. Anyone who has such "ugly ties" can send them along to me. I'll take them off your hands. No questions asked.
I really need to photograph that ugly 70s tie I have around someplace. That thing would win hands down. Its like a slice into taking LSD without the drugs.

It's not ugly to me, either. It's won a couple of ugly tie contests in the past, though. One, at a video store, I won a life-size cardboard cut-out of the Bob Hoskins character from Roger Rabbit. I wonder what happened to that........[huh]

For that to win an ugly tie contest, the competition must have been pretty mundane.
This would beat it hands down:

These guys at the Society for Ugly Neckwear have that one beat too:

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

///////\\\\\\\\\edit: FOUND IT on photobucket. Here goes, gents: uglalicious. Baron has this one now. It was burning an ugly hole in my hands. But he, no doubt, has the class and style that I do not have, and makes it work. On me it just looked like _______.

(Note the latter photo: tie is against drawing my daughter made at 1 year of age.)

These guys at the Society for Ugly Neckwear have that one beat too:

I would wear the one on the left. It would go with a tattoo I have on my left elbow which is a spade in the playing card sense of "spade," not in either of the other two senses of "spade."

 

[Feraud]

It looks like the designer of your tie went from this -

to working on mine.

Neither of which I find unattractive.

You would? I definitely have some 1970s ties for you then.
I am glad to hear that you don't have a tattoo of a shovel on your elbow.

[jamespowers]

A knot planned tie? No way that one is ugly.
Like I said before: Ugly ties like this can be sent to me---no questions asked.

 

[dhermann1]

Those Society for Ugly Neckware ties are definitely worth an honorable mention. But I have at least one that's a real retina immolator. I guess I'll have to dig it out and post it.
Watch this space.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[dhermann1]

You asked for it.

 

[Feraud]

Hey dhermann1, that ain't too bad.
The colors are garish.. but in a charming way.

 

[dhermann1]

One man's retina immolator is another man's garish but in a charming way.
When I was in "The Time of Your Life" last year (no, it was 2008. . . whatever), one of my fellow cast members who played a psychotic ba***rd killer cop used it. He said it helped him get into his character.

 

[dhermann1]

P.S. This is why I love the Fedora Lounge.

I second that. A Cheney Cravat? 1930s? Works for me. My offer still stands on this one.

Must have been the red/blue fire stripes that inspired him.

Oh, I wish I could find some of the wretched ties I had thirty-odd years ago. I believe I boxed them up before I moved seven years ago and I never unpacked them. It may take some time, but I might find them. I had some truly putrid examples that would put any ties I've seen so far on this thread to shame...

That would be about the right age for ugly ties.
