Got all of my regular crazies today, at the same time

I forgot who I was dealing with when I showed my mom this thread.

"Uhm yeah so five hours in a fabric store makes sense." As soon as I was old enough I told my mom I refused to go in fabric stores with her.

[VComps]

In a fabric store!!!

Oh, that's nothing, EE - Our one-hour photo lab manager, who recently left the company to work on his own photographic business, is color-blind.

Actually, now that I think of it, our photo team leader is blind in one eye.

Despite that, both of them are absolute aces at their jobs.

Something I've always wanted to know. If a crime is committed in a fabric store, do you get called in as a material witness?

I'd doubt it - too much risk of bias.

I'm shocked she shopped for 5 bloody hours, the woman has no life.

We have a woman who comes in DAILY and does scratch-off lottery tickets for FOUR hours minimum.

Talk about no life!!

SC: I'm making a payer shawl, which is closer to blood?

Depends. Are we talking arterial or venous?

[Erin]

What I dont understand is why the lady making the prayer shawl wants it to be blood colored.

You could have suggested that she learn how to dye her own yarn...with blood!

What I dont understand is why the lady making the prayer shawl wants it to be blood colored.

Because she worships, Khorne, the blood god?

Oh, that's nothing, EE - Our one-hour photo lab manager, who recently left the company to work on his own photographic business, is color-blind.

I wonder if he does a lot of black & white?

(Regardless, he's probably got a lot more interesting work now than what he did for the store. 1-hour photo labs generally don't do B&W, unless it's chromogenic film like Kodak BW400CN, in which case it works with normal C-41 chemistry. I once brought a roll of Tri-X film to a local photo lab, and they asked me "Is it C-41?" I said "No, it's D-76." The conversation kinda went downhill from there. I eventually had a nearby drug store mail it to Fuji and let them deal with it. Nowadays I'd just develop it myself, albeit with HC-110 rather than D-76, and have the negs scanned by the local digilab. One of these days I gotta get me a decent transparency scanner.)

Actually, now that I think of it, our photo team leader is blind in one eye.

So was Andre de Toth, and he directed the 3-D film House of Wax. Funny, that, as he was unable to see in 3-D himself.

I made a prayer shawl out of a beautiful multi-colored, hand-woven woolen blanket that my sister-in-law's sister brought back from Mexico (or possibly Guatemala, she was in both countries). It was already rectangular with edge fringes; all I had to do was tie the tzitzit. Gets some raised eyebrows in synagogue on the rare occasions I wear it.

SC: Which one is closer to blood (tosses 12 different reds on the counter)

How 'bout I stab you with my scissors so we can find out?

Depends. Are we talking arterial or venous?

*snerk* I would probably look better in a venous shade. Arterial is too red red for my skin tone.
