Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm hoping it was a prank?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I also assumed it was part of some kind of color-coding thing, and that there were also red elevators and blue elevators somewhere else.

That which does not kill you should RUN

My guess is what Sophia said -- it's a huge venue, and the elevators are color coded, and it's an unfortunate coincidence that some are color coded white.

Quite possibly. However, on top of THIS, it kind of sends a message.

Yeah, I get that. Plus Trump is a racist jackwagon. That makes "white elevators" sound like something the GOP cooked up for the convention. But I think it's just unfortunate coincidence.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Jesus Christ, I was gone for almost a week and asked my coworker to do ONE THING.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am in no way defending Trump, and we clearly avoided naming our elevators white or black, but it does seem like the idea might have been a red, white and blue theme, and it was thoughtless.

It sort of reminds me of when we renovated a floor at work. On all the plans, the adjust faculty office was labeled Faculty "Specials". Yes, with the quotes. That is because they are processed on a special payroll form.

Then the sign-maker made the sign for the door- in huge letters Faculty "Specials"! I can't really believe no one stopped that, but it amused me for a really long time to walk by it.

I literally didn't even think of red, white, and blue. Apparently I am not a patriot after all.

Oh, man, today is going to be hard to get through without snarling at things.

When I was in college, a favored prank was to steal the "l" from the sign for the Office of Public Information.
