> [@Really Not All That Bright](#): > > The house has _been_ pink since it was built. I think it’s done fading ☹ Well, in that case we need to come up with a more _manly_ term for the color. How’s about Lavender Blush? No? Misty Rose? Thistle! That’s a good name. Kind of sounds like missile and you can’t get more manly that missiles right? 😃 ---

You could call it the Thistle Missile with a back ground Pissle…I mean Pool. It won’t be a pissle until _after_ you’ve had your first pool part. 😉 OOH! I wanna come! I’ll bring Corona! 😃 ---

I would just like to share that when I read the topic title and poster’s name before clicking on the topic, I read them as one complete thought. Like so: My House is Pink! But it’s really not all that bright. ;j ---

It’s not pink, it’s light red. [sub]Big bonus points for identifying where that came from.[/sub] ---

Just when you guys were getting used to acronymifying me as **RNATB** , I’ll become **Really Not All That Bright Pink** … I’m really darkly tanned (well, okay, I’m half Indian… it ain’t really a tan) so maybe this works on multiple levels… ---

It may be close, **harmless** , but it’s from elsewhere. Just to cut the suspense and get back to making fun of **RNATB** ’s pink house 😛 it’s from Red Vs. Blue. That show is simply comic gold! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-house-is-pink/255110.md?page=2)
