Sound the trumpets! _ **Ta-ta-ta-toot!** _ “Charmian” has been officially switched to “Eats\_Crayons” to protect my privacy (and make sure it’s not as obvious when I surf the boards at work… :rolleyes: ) Why Eats\_Crayons? Well, I’ve had a hankerin’ for Crayola all week… and I often behave like a five-year-old. ---

If I remember correctly, the brown ones were for some reason “crispier” than the other colors. (I’m speaking of Crayola specificly. I did try a Prang once and it was disgusting!) ---

My friend’s doggy ate her kids crayons and pooped very fancy colours. No rainbow turds for me yet, though. ---

Just save me the “Raw Umber” and “Burnt Sienna” ones. They’re collector’s items, right? Since they don’t make them any more, or renamed them. They were my favorite colors in the box. ---

_urp_ **Screech** , _they don’t make “raw umber” or “burnt sienna” anymore???_ What fresh hell is this??? I’m quite fond of all the funky earth tones (and not just just because of the charcoal-dirt yummy goodness). All the sepia tones and ochre-like hues are my favourite! Although when I was 12 and under I like “Indian Red” the best which they have since renamed because people thought it was offensive (mistakenly so – it was named for a particular pigment native to India, and not the skin hue of an ethnic group.) Damn! No more “burnt sienna”.
