Saftey Orange

For some reason...I can't control the spacing in this post! Talk about hard to read. Dude. Me: I could always get ready to take pictures of you and the boys skiing because I could spot those orange pants coming down the mountain. Him: My pants aren't orange. They are red. Me: Uh, they look orange. Him: Well, they are red. Me: An reddish orange. Him: They are red. Me: We'll put it on the blog. Him: Ok, but people are going to say they are red. And you did. Dude. Why does he get to be right all the time? Top vote getters: red - 140 orange - 48 (ouch) red orange - 43 orange red - 32 coral - 25 poppy - 18 pink - 16 (ouch again:) salmon - 16 vermillion - 10 persimmon - 10 Mom called: Kelli, I can't post on your blog for some reason but they are clearly orange. Me: What? Mom: The pants...they are o-r-a-n-g-e. Kristen (who's family was on the trip with us): Hey Kelli, so I went to your blog. Dude, his pants are totally orange. Me: Did you vote? Kristen: No. Me: Kriiiiisteeennnn....you gotta vote. Vote a lot. Me: I think my fave made up color was rorange. Him: Starts with r because they are red. Spanish Dancer Carmillion Cajun Shrimp Were some of my fave color suggestions. OH - and Metrosexual Red...you can't even imagine how much I am going to use this one. Seriously. I think we may leave all disputes up to the blog. Our magic 8 ball. Except....I'd like to be right every now and then. Oh, the winners of the random drawing are:

they are totally red-orange...
which means more red than orange,
but still alittle orange.

I'm going with the lovely reddish-orange shade called poppy too! I love that skiing is one of the few times men will happily wear bright coloured pants!

RED with a twist of orange! You have to say "twist" with that little accent that I'm sure your hubby does not have. You know the one? In fact, I am sure that at the risk of seeming to have that little accent, is the reason why he is opposing what color you are calling the pants. Tell him I said that even if his pants have a twist of orange, that doesn't mean he is the least bit feminine!

Oh my...at first I thought just plain 'ol red but then in the next picture they looked a tad bit like coral or almost a weird sort of pink, but I thought 'why would she let her hubby wear pink snow pants in public?' my answer which made no sense at all was 'maybe he got a big rip when he toppled down the hill and had to put on his wife's!' I am laughing at the visual...so I would have to say the color would be Eddie Bauer persimmon...kind of red, orange and pink all in one!

I'm thinking any man brave enough to wear those pants has got to think they are SUPERMAN RED! Or maybe flying down the mountain in FLASH GORDON RED pants. Fast as FLASH!

Dixie Lee - Did you know I grew up in Davidon? Kirsten - I was in the 80's style prom dresses images?  Dude.  That. is wierd.  Almost as wierd as me wearing the thing as much as I do:)  Deanna, Judi, Peg and Aleks - over achievers.  your lists made me laugh so hard I had to take breaks in the reading.  Sesil - Those pants are at least 20 years old.  He was hand stitching up rip the day before we left.  Thanks for all the entertainment!!
