Concerning the pink shirt thing: Number one, don’t expect to catch _me_ wearin’ anything pink. It’s just not my thing. Also, I’m okay as long as no one says “pink is the new black” because one color cannot become a substitute for another color, no matter how hard it may try. I mean, when’s the last time you saw someone wearing a pink band around his arm for a funeral?

A pink band around an arm at a funeral?  
Might happen if the deceased was a breast cancer victim or activist, or if they were involved in the fight against AIDS.  
Couldn’t find any images for you though.

You call that **long** hair?

Isn’t that funny - last night, I dreamed of my old college roommate, and he was wearing a pink shirt and we were discussing it.

So now the SDMB is influencing my dream-life…

OK… so…

the first time I rode a motorcycle, it had 4 people on. Does this make us a foursome? Cos in that case I’ll make sure the wifes of the two guys never, ever find out… oh wait… I _hate_ Michel’s wife, guess I’ll tell her!
