h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi there !
I think people 'adopting' colours is a wonderful idea.
May the world become a more colourful place for our prescence.

I would like to alert anyone who will listen about the beautiful shade that you find after peeling red onions (a shade that often moves me to tears- ) Also on red cabbages. I have often been stopped dead in the middle of vegetable preperation by the need to just step back and admire the sheer prescence of the glistening burgandy leaves, or the contrasting ripple effects that they have when sliced. Its almost a shame to put a name too it, but I suppose Burgundy sounds better than cabbage red(plus I wouldnt want to tread on the toes of a man in red pants!). It's also the colour of a pretty tasty drop of wine...

Can I be minister for Colour-blindness, please?
I also like the idea of a colour ministry and hereby wish to be the representative for those people who have a skewed view of the spectrum.

A poem? oh gosh...hmmm...let's see...

Look at that orange ball or maybe it's green?
Colours for me are not quite what they seem.
Is it my eyes or possibly my head?
It's just everything lacks the wrong shade of red.

So "I'm colour-blind" they said. "what is this to me?"
"Take a look at that book and say what you see..."
"This 9 is see-through and the 12, speckled purple, just looks like a 2."
It's all very confusing when greys can look green and purples look blue.

So, this is me - what do you think? A manic depressive who cannot see pink?
No, not a bit of it! I am happy and free to see all the world in a way that others don't see.
The view up here's great! and if my socks don't always match this is no tragedy,
I've learnt to wear black ones - it's easier for me.

I'll make this last bit short because I'm running out of time
'So what if your pallette isn't the same one as mine.'
This is my motto and don't pour on scorn -
I still enjoy roses and rainbows and the sky when it's dawn.
Just because I am colour-blind please don't take the p**s,
when I hold up a crayon and ask "what colour is this?"

Clive.

*applause*

Nice one, Clive!

Actually can I be the Minister without Portfolio please? - that sounds more groovy.

Can I be the minister for Candi pink?

I'm sabre-toothed Candi
Quite fearsome you think
But I'm fluffy enough
To be Candi Pink.

Yes I know it's awful, but at least I tried!

Since Dragonfly changed her color, can I be the minister of yellow?? That's my favorite color.

Wouldn't know what to write about it...have to get back to you on that one sometime soon.

Oh yeah, the shade... "FFFF99"

I'll be Minister of Alabaster Green-Blue, if you'll let me. I think that it's time someone pitched a response to the Goo Blue people.

Whoami?

Purleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can I be the Minister for Octarine? I can't think of a proper colour to be minister of you see, so a made up one will suit well I will come up with a suitable poetic masterpiece for my colour choice as soon as I feel I have enough food inside me to fuel the grinding of my mental gears

Shyeeah! Octarine!

How about something about four-sided triangles and four times the number of sides on a coin?

I second his application to ministership.

But put his part of the page safe enough away from mine... We don't need any colour mishaps of an uncontrolled nature...

An Ode to Octarine.

Colours they may come,
Colours they may go,
But something everyone should know,
Octarine is here to stay,
If I can have my little say.

Fabled in the books of PTerry,
A colour that is so very,
Linked to tales so merry,
Venerated as a colour of magic,
To laud it not would be quite tragic.

Not quite purple,
Not quite green,
Rarely ever is it seen,
By persons other than those enchanted,
And this ability I have been granted.

So please accept my request,
Octarine Ministry please bequest,
I promise I will do my best,
To my colour to be true,
A promise of this I make to you.

eris.


btw, I'm a girl

I feel the Green has been under-represented here...

Could I apply for it?

I'd like to be Minister of Green, if it's not too much trouble...and I don't think it'd be too hard to come up with a poem either. =D)

And the Alabaster Blue-Green (see 109)

Any sign of Purplejenny anywhere? - I want to know If I can officially claim my ministerial position and update my personal space

I think I tried to post here already...but I'll try it again. Can I be the minister of green? Pwease?

eeekk!

Hellloooooo!

Merry Christmas... Please feel free to take and use a minicol title.

I'm soooooo busy atm that my head is gonna falloff soon. I'm very sorry, I'll get to you all very soon, i promise....
