And then we could have Red Arrows and Yellow Arrows and Black Arrows and White Arrows and...

No, no, trust me--it'll be awesome.   :thumbsup:

If I remember how they explained all that color nonsense, wouldn't Purple Arrow technically be Cupid...?

Purple arrow sounds like a porn euphemism.

A friend of mine once discovered the phrase "purple-headed love missile" in a Penthouse Forum letter. It became the source of much teenage hilarity in our little circle.

Of course, like most of their readers I often wondered if the letters were real, but an experience I had while backpacking through Europe last summer convinced me...

Oh, sorry. We were talking about comics?

Awful truth-- a very large percentage of the Penthouse Forum letters were written by Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Seriously.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Wait, that doesn't quite sound right, given the subject.

He had the mind for it. Ever read Revolting Rhymes?

(It was my favourite book as a kid, which probably says something about my mind.)

Bit of both.  Claudia's petite, and I'm largish.  We get along despite our differences.
