Day: October 26, 2017

Mixin’ up BCA-pink under Tie o’ the Day’s traditional Halloween colors. I call this photo ATTACK OF ONE OF THE BOOKENDS I BOUGHT IN KILKENNY, IRELAND IN 1997. Trust me, it’s frightening when your tiny metal figures push at your face, when all you’ve ever done to them is dust ’em. The other end of the pair is around here somewhere, probably plotting against me and Tie. Or maybe they’re just trying to tell us they wanna go back to Ireland. Join the crowd! 🍻

This Tie o’ the Day allows me to wear both a tie and bow ties. You can’t go wrong with a tie that sports skulls wearing pastel bow ties. But the bow-tied skulls are minuscule. When you have to stick Tie into someone’s face, so they can make sense of its design, the tie is not perfect. Obviously, I love Tie despite its little flaw. I mean—I cheer for the underdog. In this case, you could say I’m rooting for Tiedog o’ the Day. 😜
