What's with all the threads being labeled Official lately? What makes one more official than another, if there's multiple threads on the same topic? And why do you think you have the power to label a thread official, you who start them? And if there's only one thread on a topic, what's the point of labeling it official, anyway?

I agree completely.

Oh, and I officially scorn you for your impoper use of it, even it if was sarcastic/ironic.

Maybe it's a Hatrack tradition, just like thread titles that start with "So*" or those classic double thread titles:

I imagine this was my fault since this was probably started with the "Official Underrated Movies" thread. I titled mine "official" to be mostly tongue in cheek, but also in the hopes that it would be used like the "Interesting Space Related news" thread in that people will remember to go find it and update it when a new movie comes to mind that they think deserves better publicity.

Sorry to offend. (Well, not really. I mean if you're offended by something as trivial as this. . . . [Wink] )

Does this mean that, in the theme of the other Official threads, if we have a pointless question we should post it here?

You know, like that one?

bump

edit to add:

Was it pointless to bump this so that I could get a really funny thing in the adjacent thread titles thread?

Is there some law that says I can't bump a thread to make a pleasing juxtaposition with another thread?

I'm like the thread Yenta!

If a thread bumps in the internet and there's no-one there to read it, does it make a graemlin? [Dont Know]

My question: Are there any colleges who have cobalt blue and dark orange as their colors? I'm still obsessed with that color combination, and I'm thinking that if I can get some weekend clothes in that color I can put the outfit on repeat until I get tired of them, like when I was obsessed with "Hey Ya!"

However, I don't know of a college with those colors. Any ideas?

Hmm...right colors, wrong porportions. I like mostly the blue with flashes of orange.

Actually, I like a scape where you see about 65% nuetral moss green, 25% cobalt blue, and 10% vivid red orange. I don't suppose there is any university out there with that color scheme?

katharina, my Google-fu turned up no blue-orange-green mixes, but I did find the following (some of which have already been mentioned):

Auburn: navy blue, burnt orange
Boise State: blue, orange
Florida: orange, blue
Illinois: orange, blue
Syracuse: orange, navy blue
Texas-El Paso: blue, orange
Virginia: navy blue, orange

I'll also point out the Mozilla Firefox symbol, which I just noticed might fit your interests.

La Ola Carafe
Pepper Painting
Downcast Glance Painting
Wind Chimes and Meteors Painting
Native American Style Beadwork
Shorts
Shoes
Kitchen Counters
Vintage Paperweight
Mug (orange outside, cobalt blue inside)

You could live your life surrounded by these colors. [Smile]

Hmm...it's a great color combination, but I think all the team colors are too hard, too insistent. I love the downward glancing painting and especially the wind chimes and meteors painting. I don't suppose there's a softball team somewhere where the teams colors are slightly more ethereal?

The paperweight had the wrong link. I've fixed it. It's my favorite.

Yeah, this thread is like that.
