Charlie didn't watch A Clockwork Orange repeatedly?

How odd.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:45pm Charlie:

more color connections than I was even aware of!

Hi Jeff -- I saw it once. Possible under the influence. I did read the book, though. Enjoyed the lexicon in the back.

Ha ha! And I am greenish-eyed lady...

I'm here, too. I was in 7th grade when the Zombies were there. That name has certainly taken on a different meaning since then.

i still like the old meaning.

hey, coelacanth! and jan! Yes, zombies are everywhere now...

I think Liv Moore the iZombie Zombie may have sung a little. They make her do a lot of characters!

Hey, @geezerette. I was fascinated to learn fairly recently that Pantone names "color(s) of the year." www.pantone.com... - apparently, this has an affect on designy things.

In the "do what you love" category, I'm just seeing on twitter that Rudy Van Gelder has passed, at 91.

RVG produced most (all?) of the classic 50s/60s Blue Note label output.
