April IS The Cruelest Month...Brian Plays A Joke On The Tie Report

Oh, ha ha, Brian Williams. A little April Fool's joke on The Tie Report. "Oh, let's repeat yet another hideous tie from The Lower Tier of Taste in flagrantly rapid succession and see what She does," you probably said, chuckling snidely to your assistant, or perhaps to Mrs. Brian Williams Herself. "Do, let's!" MBWH probably said sinisterly and with a girlish giggle, skipping with maniacal glee to your armoire de cravates, where she selected the heinous Tribute To Dora The Explorer Tie from 25 March, just 5 ties ago!!! And the two of you stood in the mirror, conspiratorially winking at one another as you knotted up this violet blue monstrosity with anemic stripes of horridly vivid Play-Doh pink. Oh, the cruelty of it all!

ROFL Great post, Nance. It would be interesting to know what role (if any) Mrs. BW plays in her husband's tie selection. Perhaps, it's as you assume here or perhaps she flips on the tube each night herself wondering what horror will greet her and occasionally, just occasionally, like last night, she gets to breathe a sigh of relief, smile, and sit back contentedly with her libation. Although the scenario you have envisioned is delightful, do any of us really want our men to dress poorly--even when we know it will stir someone else up? I know I don't. I'd think she would be getting him to wear as many winners as she possibly could.

shirley--honestly, sometimes i wonder if mrs. w. holds any sway over bw's cravat choice. i kind of hope not, or she has some exquisitely horrid taste, and i worry about her. i really do.
