When I showed up it was just Blue Pony and me - and I have not seen him in ages. Now every one seems to be turning Blue. What’s going on? Is it something I need to know about? Just out here ranting the day away, humbly…Yankee BLUE. ---

They woke up mornin and found their babies wuz gone, They felt so broken hearted they bout given up hope, They was feelin all saddened and all so alone, They all changed their screen names and went to Straight Dope. Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh * * * “Pardon me while I have a strange interlude.”-Marx ---

Not many bluebloods on this board, but maybe folks are having a blue Christmas. Did I ever tell you about the gal that blue…naw, never mind. To tell you the truth, there’s enough blue humor here already. ---

Don’t worry about all them copycat posters, mom. In the grand scheme of things, they’re just dust, blueing in the wind. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Maybe we were just blue with envy… 🙂 FTR, I’ve been Blue Twylight for quite a while. I started out on the aol board, but I lurked for sometime before I dared to post 🙂 I used to spell it BluTwylite, but I accidently dumped the cookie, and lost my password. * * * “I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time…” ---

So it’s just a color proliferation thing, huh. I’ve noticed there are several purples popping up too. Still only one orange, though, and strangely no reds or greens at all…hmmm. * * * ~There is no statute of limitations on karma~ ---

With the cold weather, no wonder the posters are turning blue. Put this together with the complaint Alphagene raised in the Pit, and we can expect to see somebody post under “BlueCat” ---

Judging by some of the posts, the air is just a wee bit thin. That might explain all the blue folk (i’m feeling a bit dizzy myself). ---

My apologies Pimpernel, I confess I negleted to consider shades…so, Inky, eh? That could be black but possibly blue…hmmm…I think I’ll just descend into a purple funk, and let the black night swallow my retreating form. Have a white Chrismas all. * * * ~There is no statute of limitations on karma~
