    Burnt sienna, it looks like from here… ;)

    • Eric-in-STL says:

      “Axes of evul? WTF?”

    • Jane St.Clair says:

      I thought Crayola discontinued Burnt Sienna. Or perhaps it was Raw Umber, I don’t remember.

      • Squiggly says:

        There’s burnt sienna, burnt umber, raw sienna, raw umber, and I think they might have all been discontinued or were set to be discontinued soon. :\

        • Deep Thought says:

          Link above, and another one here.

          In 2003, in honor of its centennial, Crayola held a contest in which voters could save one of five soon-to-be-discontinued colors—burnt sienna, blizzard blue, teal blue, magic mint and mulberry—from retirement. More than 60,000 votes were cast, and burnt sienna won. The contest cannot exactly claim a place in the long line of battles fought over Siena’s land, but it seemed a kind of victory, all the same.

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            Oh yeah, I remember the contest but not which one made it. Thanks!

          • Squiggly says:

            I would have saved magic mint just because it sound so fresh and… well minty…

            Okay, I have to ask, did anyone besides me try and eat the crayons that were named like candy and food when they were little?

            “Bubblegum pink does NOT taste like bubblegum! You LIED to me Crayola!”

            • viking gal says:

              You are not alone.
              Hello, my name is viking gal, and I tasted crayons.
              I also used to eat playdough, until my mother took it away from me–that actually tasted good!

              • Squiggly says:

                Oh man I miss the smell of freshly opened playdough. I never did much with it except make little playdough snowmen and snakes. I can’t remember if I actually consumed any, but I probably did.

                • Deep Thought says:

                  Too salty!

                  ROFL!

                • viking gal says:

                  I guess it depends on how traumatic the crayon consumption experience was?
                  I’m still a bit peeved about losing my playdough privileges for a month! Although logically, I can see where my mother was coming from…

                • pittypat says:

                  I loved the smell so much I couldn’t resist eating it, but then “ptoo blech!” You’d think I’d learn, but, I recall this being a recurring little episode in first grade. I still get retchy if something is too salty.

                  • viking gal says:

                    I guess that is good for your blood pressure… ;)

                    • pittypat says:

                      In bed, with a … penne, extra cheese, hold the salt.

                      • AC says:

                        mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Salt. I love salt. I will add more salt to heavily salted salt popcorn . I will sometimes pour a small pile of salt into my hand and eat it. Salt, Salt, Salt FTW.
                        Either I have a dietary deficiency or I’m subconciously trying to make myself as unhealthy as possible…

                        • Deep Thought says:

                          You’re a mermaid.

                        • AC says:

                          Well, when I was wee I would secretly drink the seawater on trips to the beach…

                        • pittypat says:

                          And when she was wee, she wee weed in the sea, see?

                        • viking gal says:

                          Who didn’t? Or am I also a mermaid?

                        • Deep Thought says:

                          No. You’re a Viking. Blood is salty. Math done.

                        • viking gal says:

                          :twisted:
                          Ooo. I like how you think!

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          Beware, AC, I’ve also been a lifelong salt fiend, and it catches up to you. And I put salt on chinese food, pasta, and pretty much any meat except ham.

                        • PortlandMark says:

                          @AC: Your over appreciation of salt easily understood; isn’t it true that “Scottish Cuisine” amounts to frying or boiling food till it doesn’t have any texture left? Your palate is screaming for ANYTHING to relieve the boredom!

                        • AC says:

                          :lol: No we fry potatoes ’til they’re chips then cover them in curry sauce… And if you deep fry a Mars Bar it’s still chocolatey…
                          Eric, do you think I can make up for the unhealthiness by being an otherwise (mostly) healthy vegetarian?

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          It’ll still hurt your blood pressure in the long run, and I’m pretty sure it’s hell on your kidneys (it’s been hell on mine). It probably depends a bit on family history as well. There’s plenty of high blood pressure, heart problems, and strokes in my family, so I’m a ticking time bomb. :shock:

                        • AC says:

                          :(
                          Well, at least you’re aware of it now.
                          I have rather low blood pressure but I suppose I shouldn’t be so cruel to my kidneys. Note to self, morning porridge should not contain half the salt in the house…

                        • Original Andrea says:

                          AC! My mum, who is Scottish, does the salt in hand thing too (and maybe I have? Just a few times?). It runs in the blood :) Speaking of which, mum and I have blood pressure on the low side of the “normal range”… perhaps the body thinks it knows what’s good for it…

              • I once ruined an entire load of my dad’s uniform shirts (he was in the Navy at the time) by putting a crayon in the dryer. Because it was wet. (I was 3).

                • Squiggly says:

                  Oh I did that with my family’s Sunday clothes! DX Melted violet on everything!

                  I didn’t know it was still in my dress pocket, I swear!

                  • Bronwyn says:

                    One of my kids left a crayon on the front seat of my car and it melted! Unfortunately, it was red, so even after we got all the wax off, there was a big red blotch for the longest time that made me reflexively gasp and cover my butt whenever I climbed out of the seat.

                    • pittypat says:

                      Ah yes, the Menstrual Show, an American entertainment consisting of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music, performed by people in white pants …

                      • Tessie says:

                        ???
                        The Menstrual Show at my house doesn’t have any comedy or music. It goes something like this:
                        Act 1: Where the F is the Advil?
                        Act 2: Shut up! I SAID, SHUT UP!!! I HATE YOU!!
                        Act 3: Where the F is the chocolate?
                        Act 4: [incoherent crying]
                        Act 5: Where the F is the gin?
                        Act 6: SHUT UP! GIN IS THE CURE FOR CRAMPS!
                        Act 7: Oh God! This is the worst backache I’ve ever had!
                        Act 8: [more incoherent crying]
                        `
                        etc. etc.

                        • Tyler says:

                          …. Tessie, that sounds like a day with my ex.

                        • Eric-in-STL says:

                          Act 9: No, YOU’RE the one being a jackass!
                          Act 10: Who said PMS? WHO THE FU*K SAID PMS??
                          Act 11: Why don’t you want to spend time with me?
                          Act 12: Why are you bothering me? Go away!!!

                          etc. etc.

                          O_O

                          Holy Crap. I am convinced more than ever that birth control is a wonder drug. I don’t do any of that. Although, even in pre-BC days I was more apt to curl up in my room with a book, cup of tea, and peanut butter m&m’s. Oh, and Midol, can’t forget that.

                        • AC says:

                          Yeah, loads of my friends have a horrible time. Makes me feel a bit guilty for never having cramps.

                        • PortlandMark says:

                          Love the Lol with the two lions and the female is say “I DOES NOT HAS A PMS!!!!!”

                        • AC says:

                          *small writing from male lion*
                          k

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Oh yeah, I remember that one, it was cute. :)

                        • viking gal says:

                          At my house, the show would just be.
                          Act 1: give me chocolate or give me death.
                          Act 2: jump boyfriend
                          Act 3: hamburgers for dinner!
                          the end.

                        • Tessie says:

                          I flatter myself that I’m *usually* a reasonably pleasant person, but in the midst of the kind of backaches and/or headaches that are so severe that you wake up crying, I think anybody’s manners would slip somewhat.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Yeah. I’ve noticed a huge variation on how intense the experience can be. I actually had nothing of significance until after college (and the end of varsity sports). Afterwards, a different story, but still not horrible.

                        • Original Andrea says:

                          I was really lucky to not have much trouble at all, until I /started/ taking the pill! My “monthly ladypains” (as I heard them once hilariously and eloquently described) went from minor to moderate. I still have it much easier than a lot of women, but I’m intrigued that it went the opposite way to what’s expected.

                        • viking gal says:

                          You might have been a bit under-estrogened before, like I was. After ending varsity sports & college stress, I gained 15 pounds in 2 months, and started having normal cycles and cramps starting a couple months after that.

                        • Tyler says:

                          Yeah, the acts should really have included Jump nearest guy too :P

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Not to make the ladies hate on me, but I also lost weight after I went on the pill. Nothing significant but maybe a little more than five pounds.

                        • Original Andrea says:

                          Hmm, what are some other effects of being under-estrogened? (Endocrinology was one of my least favourite subjects!) Before I went on the pill I always had incredible breakouts a week before my period. My cycles were as regular off the pill as on (just light). No changes in weight or mood, that I’ve noticed…

                        • viking gal says:

                          Under-estrogened can also cause a drop in libido, an increased risk of stress fractures, and underdeveloped breasts (the ducts). And it tends to cause infertility–the woman might menstruate but not ovulate, or she might skip menstrual cycles. The most typical causes are stress, over-exercise, underweight (like most actresses), and pituitary gland problems.

                        • Original Andrea says:

                          Ah. Thanks. None of those sound like me though.

                        • viking gal says:

                          Glad I could reassure you!

                • Eric-in-STL says:

                  One of my kids left a crayon in their pocket and destroyed an entire load of summer clothes. We’re all wearing red splotches on our shirts these days.

              • AC says:

                Mmmm Playdough. Or saltdough…
                I only ate a crayon once: it was minging. I only ate it because all the chalk had been confiscated due to me…

              • Jane St.Clair says:

                I would daintily lick playdough but not full out eat it. Also, this didn’t happen very often as unsupervised playdough playing was not allowed in my house and mom rarely wanted to supervise so most of the time playdough was on top of the fridge where we couldn’t get to it. :(

                • fw says:

                  No unsupervised playdough time?!? Man, you had it rough.

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    No unsupervised watercolors either. And we were constantly having to by a set for school because they were on the supply list and we were lucky if we used it once the whole year. This is what happens when your mom is a neat freak.

                    • viking gal says:

                      I hope you got to play in the mud?!

                      • Jane St.Clair says:

                        Well, I’m a bit of a neat freak myself so I’m pretty sure I never wanted to. I did go through a period where I didn’t want to shower, but that’s only because I saw one of the Blob movies and there was a scene where the blob came out of the shower. After I got over that and was a little older we lived in this really old farmhouse where the bathroom was like Spider Utopia. I used to walk about 20 minutes to the pool in the summertime just so I could use the bathroom and shower.

                • Eric-in-STL says:

                  Sounds like your parents didn’t want you ruining your play-doh and making a huge mess out of it.
                  ::looks at my kids’ Play-Doh sitting on top of the fridge where they can’t get it::

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    More like it’s a b*tch to get out of carpet and we lived in military housing, which is pretty strict about those things.

              • yasoup says:

                I used to chew on the shapes I made from Perler beads. Maybe I was a dog.

            • Deep Thought says:

              *hangs head in shame*

              Did you know if you eat enough Atomic Tangerine crayons it’ll actually have the effect of atomic tangerines, even though they don’t taste like them?

            • the_original_shortright says:

              nothing beats painting rubber cement on your tongue……

              *can’t believe i just admitted that in a public forum*

              • Squiggly says:

                It’s okay, we’re all revealing deep dark incidents with the inedible here.

              • pittypat says:

                DOD!
                (LOL, but with tongue stuck to palette)

              • pittypat says:

                Smell of gasoline, anyone?

                • *sniffs*
                  Piquant, isn’t it?

                  Who here is old enough to remember the smell of school handouts fresh off the Ditto machine?

                • yikes says:

                  I used to love the smell! Now it just reminds of of money leaving my wallet.

                  • Eric-in-STL says:

                    Speaking of which, who else loves the smell of money?

                    • Jane St.Clair says:

                      Only fresh money. If you’ve ever done time as a cashier though, you know how dirty money gets. *shudders*

                      • Tessie says:

                        I remember reading somewhere (yes, I’m aware that a lot of my posts start out that way) that money actually didn’t have any more germs on it than silverware. I have no idea whether or not it’s true, but since there’s no good answer to this, I’m content not knowing.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          That may or may not be true, and no disrespect to guys that work hard outside in the heat, but when someone hands you damp money the urge to cringe/have a shower is a strong one.

                        • Tessie says:

                          It’s one of those no-win situations. Either the money I handled all day is crawling with filth, or the silverware I ate with all day is crawling with filth. It’s like those statistics that tell you how many insect parts are in the bread *you already ate*. And I want to know this, why?

                        • One of my least favorite occurrences (and sadly, this happened more than once) as a cashier was having guys walk up in sweatpants without pockets and reach down the front of their pants and whip out a roll of sweaty bills. Believe me, that was always the first money to go back out as change. :-) (Sweaty money pulled out of bras is a close second in the grossout race, but not as bad as the crotchmoney.)

                      • Eric-in-STL says:

                        Ooooh how true. Which is why I’m glad they’ve got the hand sanitizer by the registers at work now. Ugh.
                        But new, money, hell yes. I’ll sit at the ATM and sniff that shit while other people wait behind me in line. LOL

                        • Tessie says:

                          According to this article, most paper money has coke residue, but other items are gross:

                          http://www.cracked.com/article_17495_p2.html

                          I’m inclined to go along with this, because I remember from the movie Blow that coke became popular around the same time that ATMs became widely available, so that if any money with coke went through the ATM, it would get on the roller, and contaminate all the other money that went through the ATM.
                          `

              • Tessie says:

                The bad boys used to fling rubber cement boogers in art class.
                Ever painted a thin layer of Elmer’s Glue onto your hand and then, when it was dry, peeled it off?

                • Bronwyn says:

                  It made the skin so soft! We also used to put Elmer’s into the little trough in the middle of plastic rulers. When it was dry the next day we’d break it into 1 in sections, lick them and stick them onto our fingernails to have instant Lee press-on nails. Happy fun times!

            • Not crayons, but scented markers always made me want to lick them. With disappointing results, I’ll add.

              • Squiggly says:

                I got in trouble for smelling the markers too long. But in my defense I cannot resisted the smell of strawberries.

              • Deep Thought says:

                I licked the fruity-smelly markers.
                Oh, I licked HELL out of the fruity markers, and got busted for sucking them dry.

                Once I got sent to the office, and the school nurse thought someone had been beating me on the tongue.
