Every fricken addition in this town is being done in BEIGE stucco. It's like the stucco manufacturers don't supply any other colours. What? Benjamin Moore only sells BEIGE paint? If I see one more stucco addition done in BEIGE, I'm gonna go nuts !!!!
TOO LATE !!!!!
The addition across the street arrived today.....huge crane....street closed....2nd floor arrives on 6 tractor trailers and they hoist the things up one section at a time. By tomorrow the new 2nd floor will be all closed in and all they will have to do is make the necessary connections and complete the final touches. Nice and quick. But what colour is the new stucco siding?
BEIGE !!!!

Statistically, silver cars are the least likely to get into an accident. This, according to my bosses wife who insisted her new car be silver because of this stat.
Call the colour grey and take 'em down a peg or two.

When I am retired, I intend to buy a beige camper, a beige windcheater (remember those?) and a beige flat cap. I shall take revenge upon the world. I shall drive around, sleeping where I like, holding up traffic when I want to, and exclaiming loudly about local cooking and lack of English. I shall park in silly places, become even more grumpy, and invade Poland.
Beige is the language of revenge.

By the way..in case it's not totally obvious....I can't find the "I'm drink" thread. Maybe somebody can move it here for me.
Hey, that's pretty good spelling....I need another drink...the Jays are beating the A's and the Rangers are leading the Devils....

I hate Beige, because almost all Motor Homes and campers are Beige, big, slow, scenery blocking beige motorhomes that won't pull over no matter how much traffic is stacked up behind them

Using words like "proven" and "fact" means that this thread has turned into a political discussion and that is simply not allowed. So there.
