Italian soda thread

^ I don't even know what any of those things conceptually are, let alone how to spot them.

Once again we have proof that, while the female eye can distinguish over 254 different colors, the male eye can distinguish only eight. The male word for "cerulean" is "blue."

I had to look it up! And what the hell is "Tope"?

[Alinestra Covelia]

Taupe?

[Q Classic]

Taupe? It's a sort of unsaturated dark brown. Think darker, older, cracked leather, and that's the sort of brown. A little grayer than the UPS truck.

And besides, 'cerulean' is a such pretty word, and I didn't think it as not being unmasculine. It could have been worse.

Periwinkle, for instance.

I find mauve to be a pretty, gay color.

(Note the tactical use of the comma )

Raspberry with a shot of cream

Is that a colour or a drink?

Don't know about Italian soda, but I really liked Ferrarelle, an Italian brand of mineral water. Sadly, you never know what they will bring you if you order mineral water in a restaurant.

Sounds like a sexual innuendo.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Our soda bar has banana and cherry, to continue the potential innuendo.

Sans blowtorch, the correct way to deal with such persons is to key their car. This assumes you know for a fact that they didn't park that way b/c some other jerk did the same and they parked next to him.

Can't you ask? Or that forbidden in Russia?

There was a guy who used to screw up the parking in my old apartment. He'd park literally across three spaces.

The guy on the other side of him left notes saying "Learn to park, *** hole". When this failed, he called towing companies and had the car removed.

The bad parker learned to park correctly fairly quickly after that. Either that, or they stopped driving home drunk.

I woke up this morning to the gentle chatter of songbirds, with all the windows open from yesterday's heat, but the pensive predawn gloaming leavened by last night's dramatic thunderstorms. Curtains billowed majestically from the windows in a sighing pulse with the breeze.

Life is good.
