Thoughts on a particular color

Green is . . .

• not my favorite color.
• the color of my envy for those whose favorite color is green.
• verdant.
• associated with Martians, even though Mars is red.
• is a noun, adjective, and a mistaken adverb.
• is the best color my kids can get at school for their conduct.
• is the worst color my kids' hot dogs can be in their school cafeteria.
• is the actual color of my kids' hot dogs in their school cafeteria.
• is nearly chartreuse
• the latest fad.
• very expensive.
• something worth going.
• not easy to be.
• the old color of my grass before the summer of 2009.
• an unnatural hair color.
• a signal meaning "go" for a grape, "wait" for a banana, and "stop" for a school hot dog (a la Mitch Hedberg).
• is a funny color for a lantern.
• the color of some bugs (see photo above or click here.)
• the only color that can get you pinched if you're not wearing it on one particular day.
• a color that often appears in the loo after a fresh insertion of "2000 flushes." (oooh gross . . . )
• a difficult topic for an entire blog.
