Greek - ancient and modern - has very different color words than English. Lots of nuance in the yellow-green-brown spectrum, little blue and red. (No, I can't give you any freaking examples, I am pulling this out of deep memory=my ass.)
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Like, most people would be aghast at the idea of the classical Greek statues being painted bright colors.
Yeah, the bright red lips on the Athena in Nashville's Parthenon were kind of a shock. Apparently Athena needed a colorist.

Hey, is anybody else's gmail in a death spiral? Mine seems to be attempting to reload itself unto eternity, and will not cough up my mail.
Very irritating.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, gmail is not talking to me this morning.

Nutty, it's happened to me a couple of times lately. I've been able to get to the email through igoogle, but not directly through the gmail page because of the endless loading.

OK, I have much hatred in my heart regarding the Open Source Boobie Project. SO MUCH.
Honestly, my reaction has passed into just pointing and laughing at the douchebag who started it; the reason my reaction has turned into mockery is that he's married. So, his wife's boobies weren't enough to bring about his Speshul Magical Healing From The Indignities of High School?
That says it all to me about his douchebaggy patriarchal entitlement. Loser.

I mean, it uses ethanol but that's not really saying a lot. But it's zoooooooooooomy. And zoomy is good to me. Unless it's a teal car.
So not only is there the carbon footprint, but also the offsetting of farmland for fuel production resulting in world starvation. Now in baseball you have the creation of farmland. To make baseball bats you use the entire trunk of a tree to whittle down to a baseball bat (it's true, I saw it on a cartoon. Simpsons maybe? I forget.) so you need a lot of trees to be cut down. What do you do with with forests that have been cut down and cleared to make baseball bats? It's turned into cropland or grazing land for cattle.

It's turned into cropland
Which is then used to grow corn to destroy the world create ethanol to power Cass's cars. It's the circle of sports!

Cattle are important for making baseballs, you know. Also cork and lots and lots of string. (I don't know what string is made out of, but surely it comes from a farm!!)
And when you're done using a baseball, you can eat it.
able to get to the email through igoogle
Aha, good tip. I'll try that.
