Re: Olympic Madness Open Thread (none / 1)

I agree. I think afew should have no problem, but he's also instinctively chosen the correct colors for the waltz.

Metatone -- you've confused everyone with your dislike of the orange-pink which is, as I'm sure you're aware, a perfectly acceptable waltzing color.

The rules for waltz are very simple -- the traditional black and white, or any color that would look delicious if it was a sorbet.

Well, I'm not fond of pink-orange coloured sorbets either! :-P

Well, there you go. You've let personal preference affect your professional judgment. That is NOT what they're paying us for! Tsk, tsk.

You just made my day. I live for these moments. It's always the small things in life, isn't it?

I hope you will forgive me for completely ignoring the Olympics otherwise.

Nothing to forgive, my friend. It's only in politics that the apathy of bystanders is considered a sin.

Apart from the fact that I know where Loma Linda is?

Re: Olympic Madness Open Thread (none / 0)

That actually counts against you, although I try to bear in mind it's not your fault. The problem is entirely my own. But also on the plus side -- your Mad Math Skillz! :-)
