I am so sick of home decorating shows in which the designers always paint the walls or pick out furniture that is a "rich chocolate brown" or a "rich caramel."

And it's the whole home decorating channel! Poop is also brown! I do not want poop colored furniture or walls! What colors do the non-autumn people paint?

ARGH.

Hmm. Trash can for non-kitchen, garbage/garbage can for kitchen. Just because I'm difficult.

amych is me.

What is wrong with you people? So I guess I should put both then.

Poop is also brown! I do not want poop colored furniture or walls!

The mania for baby-shit tan as a paint color will end someday, I have faith. And hopefully the industry will not immediately turn to vomit green, either.

I'd say either is equally understandable -- but "garbage" has a food waste connotation that I never really thought about until I thought about it.

If Firefox recognized the correct spelling, it would have told me.

If you right-click on a word that Firefox doesn't recognize as correct, you should get a menu that includes the option to add the word to your dictionary.

You put things in the trash. By putting them in the garbage can. And then taking out the trash. Which is picked up by the garbage truck.

eta: and from what I can tell - no poop colors in sight.

This gets quoted so often in our household:

Goodman : And put your garbage in a garbage can, people. I can't stress that enough. Don't just throw it out the window.

Marge : This is so humiliating.

Homer : Garbage in garbage can...hmm, makes sense.

that the comment "makes sense" has been replaced with "G.I.G.C."

What colors do the non-autumn people paint?

Dark red?

Some of us want to paint wide black & white stripes, but have been repeatedly told "NO. THE HOUSE DOES NOT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE TIM BURTON ART-DIRECTED IT".

Happy birthday to Grace and Noah!
