Orange You Glad?

I was exchanging e-mails with the gnew Gnomedex coordinators this morning, and we found our way into this interesting tidbit: “According to the color nazi [yes, it is a group in NYC who decide what the next colors will be for the fashion world - also for cars and all design folks] orange became 'hip' in the late 90s as the color that represented the merging energies of the Eastern spirituality and Western Emotions and so one world. Prior to that, it was primarily associated with fast food and cheap restaurants. Pretty good rating jump don't ya think?!” Yeah, I still remember going to Sambo's when I was a kid before they shut it down because of its racially-offensive name. And lord knows, Denny's and Perkins (which has since gone green) still have that whole trippy feel to 'em. Nazis, racism, abortion… is there anybody else I can piss off today? Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm off to catch up on my QE4TSG.

As a WWII era Nazi I take offence to the fact that you compared us to those color arranging pole smokers.
/not really a nazi or race/sex/ist

You're too cute to piss me off. ;) Besides, I try and respect others beliefs even if they differ from my own. We all have our reasons to believe the way we do.

I worked with 2 lesbians and a gay man, all at the same time.
Then the gay guy left and was eventually replace be another lesbian.
I don't care.
