BWW Color Code Alert System
Posted: 11/26/07 at 11:01pm
Time to bring this baby back... I believe the apology thread falls under the Salmon catagory, but since the last several pages seem to have been deleted (black alert), I can't be sure.

BWW COLOR-CODED ALERT SYSTEM

Tink, does the system predate you?

Those were fun times indeed.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

The board is definitely taking a chartreuse coloring today. (CHARTREUSE: mild turbulence, with possibility of escalation )

ETA: I think it's more of an aquamarine tint ...

Cornflower and thistle have always been favorites
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

Aw, this sh*t is Code Neapolitan.
"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry
