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

CLASS I ALERTS

FUSCHIA: a poster is having a meltdown, but will be okay by morning
JAUNDICE: uncommonly nastiness, even by BWW standards
MAGENTA: bitch fight in progress;probability of escalation

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.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
