Congratulations to Adam for winning week twenty-one of the Tie Showdown! This mark's Adam's second victory in the Tie Showdown, and thus inducting him as a member of the Tie Showdown Grover Cleveland Memorial Committee, the membership of which is comprised of individuals who have won the Tie Showdown on two non-consecutive weeks. We've brought in a very special guest writer from Berekely, CA, the (future) world-renowned landscape architect Nathan R. Hodges to write this week's victory post because I'm too busy being humble.
"Being an avid fan of both Adam and the blog tieshowdown.blogspot.com I was really happy to see that the A-Bomb's tie handily pulled in the victory this week. A wicked geometric job that evoked the hazy color fields of Rothko, the modernist gardens of Guevrekian, and midwestern crop aerials this tie was too alluring to ignore. A similar tie was banned from the Paris TieDown (08 due to accusations of uncertain subliminal effects skewing the vote. I didn't have the good fortune to be able to cast my ballot this time around, but I probably would have voted for Adam or Andy (who zipped right into second place with a flush 17 votes) But really, as a long-time tieshowdown fan and voter I can honestly say that there are no real losers in the tieshowdown, just insufficient plaid."
