I've had two gallons of Fuzzy Sheep stored in the utility room since just after we moved in. It was meant to be used to cover shelves that the previous owner painted in what I'd categorize as Pepto-Bismol Pink. Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Duke, you have my condolences. Down in my basement, I have gallons and gallons of paint my late father kept after, IIRC, he sold his interest in a marina. Oil-based paint with sane names like Sapphire Blue, Mandarin Orange, Magenta Red. I think I used some of it paint some shelves a few decades ago. It's probably all dried out by now despite the cans never being opened, or I'd offer it to you. (And still probably not enough for a real painting job.) I haven't been in a paint store within my memory. I see that I am lucky. Dean Shomshak Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 That"s the thing, Dean: at the store level, you can asknfor red or blue. They will direct you to a million swatches, but you can ask for blue! At the supply level, you have to know the name or code for the paint, and the names all sound like what the allegedged AI came up with! What the heck color is Spring Frog or Imperial Reckoning?! I want orange! Can I get thirty gallons of orange? We don't have orange. How about Outraged Blushing Tangello? I cheat. I made nice with one of the guys who runs the Sherwin Wilkiams store locally, and tell _him_ what I want, and he gives me the paint code (and does not bother telling me the "proper name" unless it amuses him- like Blanket of Sailcloth, and I call the corporate distribution and request that color code. I am embarrased to admit just how many tines that conversation wnds with "what sort of desgner drugs were you people smoking to come up with a name like that?!"

Second, based on this clip, I am impressed it got 7 out of 10 stars on IMDB. I have clearly missed a cinematic gem here, and now must go correct that oversight 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
