| I bought a coloring book yesterday from | | | | confusing to me because I didn't know which |
| Wal-Mart. I hadn't colored in years and I got the | | | | listing was English and so up until about 10 years |
| strange urge to out of the blue. I also bought a | | | | old I pronounced most of my colors in the |
| 24-pack of Crayola crayons. The box says they | | | | Spanish tongue. I still blame this for most of my |
| are non-toxic which is a relief. I just wonder who | | | | academic failures in life, that and the fact that all |
| sells the toxic crayons and how they compare in | | | | through middle and high school I refused to take |
| price to the crayons I bought. Some people may | | | | more than one book home at a time. Even if I |
| consider having a radioactive glow about them the | | | | had homework in 4 classes I would only take one |
| same color as the crayon they justed used to be | | | | book home. Taking more than one book home |
| a great feature for which they would gladly pay | | | | made you look like a complete loser nerd, or in |
| extra. | | | | my case, more of a complete losernerd. |
| The coloring book I bought is called Justice League | | | | I colored Batman's eyes and face yellow-green |
| to the Rescue and it contains colorable pictures of | | | | (verde amarillo, vert-jaune) because I thought it |
| all the Justice League heroes like Batman, | | | | would give him that money green aura that I'm |
| Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and | | | | sure a gazillionaire like Bruce Wayne has about |
| The Flash. My favorite is Batman. I've always | | | | him. Turns out I probably should have went with |
| admired the darkness that hangs about him. Other | | | | green-yellow (amarillo verde, jaune-vert) because |
| superheroes seem to happy and cheerful (even | | | | instead of 'money green' the aura I got was |
| when supervillains are totally destroying their | | | | 'ready-to-puke' which is probably the way he |
| towns) but not Batman- you can hear the | | | | really looks most of the time when you factor in |
| depression in his voice. I would vote Batman the | | | | all the tall buildings Batman is constantly leaping |
| 'CrimeFighter You Would Most Likely Run Into At | | | | from. |
| Your Shrink's Office. I'm willing to bet that Batman | | | | I was so satified with my picture when I finished |
| has a few anti-depressants tucked away in one | | | | coloring in that I signed and dated it. Who knows, |
| of thse pouches on his BatBelt. | | | | years from now when I become a household |
| Since Batman is my favorite member of the | | | | name that picture may be worth a fortune. You |
| Justice League I started my coloring book rebirth | | | | may see it on ebay going for thousands of dollars. |
| with one of his pictures. I colored his suit blue, his | | | | Don't despair if you can't afford to buy it-I've got |
| gloves and boots red, and the underside of his | | | | a whole coloring book here and a lot more |
| cape indigo. I would have called it purple but the | | | | crayons, I'm sure I can color something in your |
| side of the crayon said 'Indigo, Indigo, Indigo', | | | | price range. Tell you what, just for you, I'll even |
| apparently because indigo is spelled the same way | | | | get rid of the Crayola crayons and color a picture |
| in English, Spanish and, I believe, French. I'va | | | | with a box of those regular ol' toxic crayons. |
| always wondered why Crayola listed the crayon | | | | Then you'll not only get a Timothy Ward original |
| colors on the side of their crayons in three | | | | colored picture but you also get that great |
| different languages. As I child it was very | | | | radioactive glow... |
