It's a stupid tax by stupid people on stupid people too dumb to notice it.; 6/18/16, 11:34 AM

traditionalguy said...: That is one ugly color. Tennessee, Texas and Clemson are stuck with it because pride in William of Orange was once in their State's immigrant heritage. But without lots of black tones or red tones mixed in, Orange remains a putred pastel.; 6/18/16, 11:38 AM

cubanbob said...: I see Trumpy McDonaldface. Our hostess can find the hidden and true meanings in things that are out in the open yet not readily visible to the ordinary and untutored eye. If Trumpy has a bit of Dutchman in him and if he were to win then we would have a true House Of Orange next year sitting at Trump Residence Washington DC.; 6/18/16, 12:32 PM

Thanks - I think you are correct. I was trying to figure it out - It looked like a dahlia, but it's too early for dahlias (at least in my neck of the northwest).; 6/18/16, 12:35 PM

I guess the liquor stores in Jersey are gonna have to stock up on cases of soda now too.; 6/18/16, 1:18 PM
Big Mike said...: @traditionalguy, not to mention Syracuse (which calls itself "The Orange"), Princeton, Illinois, Auburn, Bucknell, Virginia, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, and doubtlessly a whole bunch of other Division II and Division III colleges; 6/18/16, 3:25 PM
ndspinelli said...: Watched the first episode of the new season of Orange is the New Black last night. It has really jumped the shark and turned into a cartoonish, lesbian, grab and tickle show. The 1st season, and to a lesser the degree the 2nd season, showed so much promise.; 6/18/16, 4:06 PM
gadfly said...: Big Mike and trad-guy missed Boise State, Bowling Green, Florida, Miami-The-U, Texas-El Paso, and Va Tech.; 6/18/16, 5:43 PM
ken in tx said...: It is not the first by any means. In my life time, bottles of soda sold in Louisiana had a tax stamp on the cap, just like beer--only not as much. I understand they did away with it in the 90s.; 6/18/16, 7:13 PM
CatherineM said...: Ndspinelli - I thought the 3rd season went off a bit. All of the TV critics say hold on. The 2nd half of the 4the season it gets back to great.

I have no idea what lesbianism is there that your seeing that wasn't in previous seasons, especially season 1.; 6/18/16, 8:08 PM
Big Mike said...: @gadfly, right you are! As a Virginian I don't know how I missed an ACC team like Miami, however as the father of a UVa alum we do not recognize that vocational school from Blacksburg with their orange and (barf, barf!) maroon colors.; 6/18/16, 8:57 PM
ndspinelli said...: Catherine, I have no problem watching women having simulated sex. It just seems to me there's more of it. I'm bored w/ it. Seems like this is following the same pattern as Weeds, a series I loved but went downhill the last couple seasons. Jenji Kohan seems to get lazy, bored, after a couple seasons. I'll watch another episode or 2, but if it doesn't get smarter and better written, I'm done.; 6/18/16, 10:20 PM

He's living rent free in your head.; 6/19/16, 5:40 AM
