Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Suzi, I think you are describing This one which I also bought. I really wanted an emerald green and ended up with this.
I only paint my toenails at this point, but I always paint them. My fingernails? Never. My nails are too weak and prone to chipping and peeling. I might clear coat them. Maybe I should use a super light color and see if that helps them not chip.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is it Russian Navy? I love that color. I wear it on my toes a lot.
I have Russian Navy on my toes right now, AIFG.
Actually, IFAwful, because it's just the chipped remnants of a pedicure I had back before Thanksgiving. Now that my ankle's mostly healed I'll have to do something about that.

Suzi, I think you are describing This one which I also bought.
Yep, that is the one I bought. I haven't tried it yet. Will see if I can find a store that stocks OPI so I can see if my current nail color is Russian Navy.

This diagram was redrawn on Five Thirty Eight:
A somewhat misleading (in my opinion) presentation of these numbers has been floating around on the web recently, and so I wanted to post this cleaner graph.

In third place was the first ever woman to be nominated for the award. Rosanne Tippett drove her moped into a flooded river, despite the warning signs.
She was rescued by police, but died after jumping back into the river in an attempt to recover the two-wheeler.
How did this one manage to live long enough to qualify for a moped license?

Tom, do you agree that the first one was misleading?
I think the Fivethirtyeight's presentation tells a slightly different story for some reason, but it provides an easier ability to do a sort of quick and dirty regression analysis (p val or t val I can't remember).
