Thank Goodness My Mother Never Watched TV On Thanksgiving
Oh no. No, Brian, no. This tie is...so terribly, horribly, awfully wrong. It reminds me of those old-timey Kraft Foods commercials that used to air during the Thanksgiving Day parades back when I was a kid. The narrator would say horrifying things like, "Cut Velveeta cheese into quarter-inch cubes. Press a dried cranberry into each cube. Now, prepare pineapple Jell-O according to the directions. Place the Velveeta and cranberry cubes into a ring mold, like so. Pour the Jell-O in and allow to set. Unmold and serve on lettuce leaves with warm Kraft Catalina dressing!" And I would watch in morbid fascination while this Food Travesty occurred before my eyes. That is what this tie, this Velveeta orange cravat studded with cranberry medallions, looks like. A 1960s Kraft Kitchens Travesty.
