Got Beaver?

What is with the people who don't stick around long enough for you to answer their question? I'm sorry, but when you ask me for a complete list of all possible color names in the world, it's not something I can reach under the desk and whip out for you. Walking away less than a minute after I say "let me see what I can find," and then not answering when I try to call you back, really isn't going to help you much, is it? Why even bother asking? Just to burn calories? What's the freakin' point?

The up side to this is that I had started a search on color names and now know that Crayola has a color called "beaver," which was introduced in 1998 and is "dependable" and "dislikes showiness," being a brown hue and all. I never knew Crayola colors have personalities! I've gotta hit the basement and dig up my crayons to see if I've got a dependable beaver.

"Fuzzy wuzzy brown" is another Crayola color: "This is the crayon that I like to use when I color anything brown. It makes me all warm and fuzzy wuzzy--like Christmas." Brown, just like Christmas!

I swear this made my day, which tells you a little bit about how pathetic my life is.
