Nantucket Red. NOT Pink.

Duane and Mindy were having a little discussion about my shorts.

I bought them at Murray’s Toggery Shop on Nantucket. They are Nantucket Red. Nantucket red is a different color than Pink dammit.

Nantucket Red
Pink

See… Maybe they are SIMILAR, but Nantucket Red is not Pink - regardless of what the Princetonian may think
I’m comfortable with my sexuality. I look good in these shorts. Not to mention the fact that I love them. My man-card still rests - unmolested by Duane, in my wallet. Where it belongs thakyouverymuch.

Mindy, dont hate the player, hate the game - ‘mmmkay? Do you need me to bring you a pair of these when I come back? Murray’s also sells a darling little skirt…

    Dave,
    Shorts..that not a geeky topic. I am one of the 30 remaing souls back here at Level3-STL (formerly WilTel). I took all the old decommed Sun boxes in the office and got them doing bioinformatics/Neural Net work (looking for MicroRNAs in human DNA using 200 node neural networks). Now thats geeky :0)

    We should do lunch some afternoon…

    Also, what are you doing, where do you work now, etc…
    email me.
    Later,
    Bryce

    *GASP* Afterthought…

    This may not help your “cause” any, but… when I saw your little color samples, I HAD to go grab a pair of shorts that I have… hold them up to my monitor… and, well… they seem to match your “Nantucket Red” exactly. hee hee

    I, like you, also don’t consider my shorts to be pink. Sorta like my car… it ISN’T pink! It’s MYSTIC MAGENTA! ;)

    Oh and nantucket red is like buying preripped jeans…you didn’t work for that color :P But that could start a whole other arguement….
