the apparition of these faces in the crowd

professional
A brand new addition to the world's greatest tie assemblage, this time compliments of Paxton Rice, who liberated it from his grandfather's collection.
Said to me with a straight face, by a student oblivious to my methods: "So... are you going to wear any wacky ties this year? I mean, all your ties are so professional."

tacky tie twins
Today was the first Thursday of the 2009 school year, and hence the first blooming of the Tacky Tie.
Yesterday, I notified my student teacher about the custom, inviting him to partake of my collection and join in the fun each Tuesday and Thursday during his ten-week stint. He said it was a fine idea, and wore the floral print below. (His shirt was pumpkin, which matched perfectly, which is to say, even more hideously.)
During our prep period, as we strode out of the copy room, a passing faculty member called us the "Blues Brothers."

the greatest tie of all time?
The last day of school--for me, at least, because of the trip to Birmingham--was Friday the 12th. To celebrate a crazy, wonderful year, one of the students in my 4th period class really wanted to bring in a dessert. Thursday she asked me if I enjoyed cake. "Of course," I said, having no idea that the cake was bound to bear my name and a likeness of my hallmark.
Twenty-eight slices of heaven: a tacky tie with raspberry filling.

triptych
Over a month ago I hoped things at school were "truly back to normal."
As if.
Anyhow, the one thing that is always in session: the tacky. The following ties are all new--to me, at least.
In order, thanks to Ben Leierer, Matthew Stidham, and Danny Stohr.
