Hey, Moral Dreidel Boy

Well, there goes the Florida economy. Next you'll say maple is the new cane.
 
I'm glad for everyone involved. Much as I would have liked an "I told you so" for Dubya, not at the cost of another life.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - An Afghan court on Sunday dismissed a case against a man who converted from Islam to Christianity because of a lack of evidence, and he will be released soon, an official said.

That would be the case with most Christians

Puce? Is that Italian? I'll have to find out.

Sounds like a sexy new Italian car.

Puce
One of the more obscure colors used in Regency novels is puce. It's a color nearly always treated with disdain but what color was it, really? It might help to know that the word puce comes, as so many others, from the French. Puce is the French word for flea! Yes, the color is a brownish-purple or a purplish-pink, the color of the blood-sucking flea; coagulated blood in other words. It may seem astonishing to the modern reader that one of the most popular colors in 1805e. was just puce!
 
BB and Ish are going to be sooo pissed off about this. Never mind, I'm sure they will find some other hate filled rant to inflict on us.

I don't think so. Neither of them are enamored of puce and they won't be the least bit upset to learn that it hasn't replaced either pink or fascism as the new black. You start talking about chartreuse or coral though and you'll get them going.

Especially if you're referring to this Chartreuse. It's potent. It made my nostrils burn.

LOL. How about my job application, you? I can pretend to be as stupid as GWB if it would help.

The reason for its popularity was because many people suffered from fleas but didn't want others to know about it, and puce clothing served to hide the fact.

If you can manage an English accent (always impressive in pseudo science on this side of the pond) and don't know your way around a lab and can either pretend to be or genuinely be stupid I have a place for you on my team.

You'll be working directly under me. (you lucky, lucky man)

I have seen Mary Poppins a shitload of times, I use the Dick van Dyke method for English accents.
Pretending to be stupid is easy. Three bottles of Rioja before work will normally do the trick.
Hmm. I'm more of a top.

Better re-read the small print on the Union contract. It firmly states that I hold the top position and that I direct your actions.
