(Don't) think pink!

14 October 2005

Hiya! Jellywellington here, all the way from sunny England, subbing for Margaret again (though you can call me Roger).

And despite Margaret's protestations otherwise, there'll be no talk of pink here until her return, because quite frankly I've never liked the colour - it's brash, flamboyant and rather annoyingly loud - much like most Americans! Ha ha! (oh god, I've just annoyed almost the entire audience... quick, suck up to 'em!).

Hey - that's a weird thing - I just noticed (thanks to my lovely spell checker) that I'd inadvertently typed 'oink' instead of 'pink' - which is curious as pigs are pink and they go 'oink!', so already the synchronicities are piling up... or pinkchronicities, even...

Anyway, I did say I wouldn't talk about pink. I mean, pink for god's sake! I'm a boy! Boys don't *do* pink, 'kay? We do blue. A much more manly colour, I'm sure you'd agree. Calm and tranquil, relaxing and lovely - not like shouty pink jumping up and down and going "Me me me! Look at me over here! I'm pink and proud and I love it! Look at ME!!!". Can't be doing with it. Pink = Stink, as far as I'm concerned.

Arggh! I'm still talking about pink! It's getting like those songs you get in your head that just refuse to leave. I tell you, if pink was a song, it would be something hideous like Little Jimmy Osmond doing 'Long Haired Lover From Liverpool'. I shudder to recall it.

Pink. Even the sound of the word - "pink" - it has a nasty sort of curtness about it. If you say "blue" it's almost like saying "ooooooo" which is nice and calming and even cute - but "pink" - you have to sneer to say it. Or at least I do.

Do you know why there's hardly any pink food? Because no-one would eat it, that's why! Except maybe pink Smarties, but they're bad for you anyway, cos they're pink! It's a little known fact that you could eat blue Smarties as much as you like, with no harmful effects whatsoever. Eat too many pink ones, and they'll be calling you 'Gummy' before you know it. "Old Gummy Pink Breath", that's what they'd call you. Oh yes.

So I'm not gonna talk about pink at all. No more mentions of pink in here. Pink is right out. Glad we're clear on that.
