Oh man...are you trying to draw some kind of parallel between underpants and the Symbionese Liberation Army here?

!@#$%! 05.11.2006 02:57 PM

no, he wears leather pants; my guess is he just wipes off the skidmarks-- and if not.... :eek:

black underwear rules. ha ha ha.

The word 'colour' dates back to the medevil times in England but contary to popular belief it was spelt 'color' not what brits thing to be right 'colour'. So for once the americans are right.......i'll get me coat.

Iain 05.11.2006 03:01 PM

Yes....my trousers aren't made from easywipe materials such as leather. So pants for an important barrier between my trousers and my arse.

edit: sorry, this has turned from a serious discussion about colour into a semi-serious discussion about underpants and I feel it is primarily my fault.

Have you ever gone commando? Now that is a weird feeling.

!@#$%! 05.11.2006 03:04 PM

commando works great in, say, the jungle, but beware of crafty mosquitoes,

screamingskull 05.11.2006 06:05 PM

I have an ambivalent relationship with going commando.

My favorite is green.....I always associate it with life and nature plus it's my mom's favorite and I was born on St. Patricks Day.:D

Try to imagine a new color that couldn't be classified as anything that is already existing. It is hard.

ploesj 05.12.2006 11:13 AM

i absolutely love blue, white, green and brown in my clothes, but i prefer black and red when im drawing.. the effect when you combine them can be great.. although drawing in blue pen is fun too.

I've tried to do that before. There are colors that are outside our spectrum of viewing, like infrared and ultraviolet.

Although really, those colors are just frequencies of light that are brain interprets as colors. So colors are all in our head.

I'm color blind... you jerks.

Magublafix 05.12.2006 12:52 PM

blue and maybe green, but blue is my favourit....

h8kurdt 05.12.2006 12:53 PM

Mine too. Great colurs, do they mean anything personalitiy-wise?

atari 2600 05.12.2006 03:55 PM

black of course is the absence of color & white is the presence of all colors in the visible spectrum.

Although, if you mix all the colors on a palette, you get brown, not white, which serves to point towards our basic creatureliness in my mind...God being Light, light being white & shit being brown. Well, usually it's brown, that is.

every culture that has ever been documented has a word for these 3 colors:

black, white, & red.

since the dawn of time, primitive African cosmologies/theologies have regarded these 3 colors as sacred & important to tribal religion.

one would think that green would figure in as primally also, but it doesn't.

of course, nowadays Africa has constant civil wars because Russia & the USA like to sell them their leftover weapons.

^^ i don't know how to say it properly but this post is awesome in its apparently random associations that aren't really random--

fuckin a

but i'll leave the alchemical talk for another day (for another place!)

HaydenAsche 05.12.2006 07:10 PM

I like brown, white, grey, black. I'm not huge on colours but if I have to choose it would be like a dark maroon are almost white looking blue.
