I see this as erroneous thinking. Where is your evidence that ashen comes second in your list? You have committed the color fallacy, and provided no information for justification of this belief. I do agree with alabaster but I just can not get on board for ashen and ebony. It is simply outside the realm of primary and therefore un-testable.

granted, ashen was arbitrary. the request was for the colors to turn black and the requirement of a triad necessitated an intermediate step between all colors of the spectrum and the absence of all colors. my choice of the spectrum of visible light was also arbitrary, but it seemed apt.

they don't make black kool-aid.

Since when is invisible an answer to a black request? Once again you guys are using science language to describe magical thinking. If kool-aid were indeed invisible, how would we know when to stop pouring a glass? I mean, I might as well start selling invisible tacos. We should see invisible kool-aid for what it is; nothing. I think rather than reject the claim of black kool-aid, we should embrace it.

i'd thought about that, but there is method to my madness (or is it madness to my method). his specific request was not only that there be no more colors. he also demanded that they turn black, suggesting the light spectrum instead of pigments.

now you're getting the hang of it. embrace the possibility of magic and you begin to understand humanity.
to begin with, i personally do believe in invisible kool-aid. to a blind man, all kool-aid is invisible and we should follow that logic to the inevitable conclusion that we may all be blind to this wondrous elixir. if we can still feel it and taste it, it may very well exist and who knows what other senses we may unknowingly possess to experience what we cannot otherwise detect.
i do, however, draw the line at invisible tacos. a good taco must be experienced through all of the senses if it is to be truly enjoyed. if i can't see it, i can't believe in its deliciousness.
as for black kool-aid - blech.

It wasn't a rejection of it, but an attempt of conformity to his request for no colors.
Invisiblity isn't just magical thinking, it suggests the ability of an object to neither reflect or absorb light making it transparent. Also visiblity is subjective to the observer, as to what may be visible to me may also be invisible to you. What's visible to an Eagle may not be visible to my eyes rendering it invisible.
If you started selling invisible tacos, the only hurdles you would encounter is making sure you formulated a fully edible transparent taco, which tasted good, and was filling. You would probably become a millionaire overnight.
But I would be able to know when to stop pouring my koolaid, just as I know when to stop filling my cup with water.
Yes, I see now.. I only paid attention to the no colors and Black wording. I overlooked the turn to black part..

Ok, what's wrong with black Kool-aid?
I mean I can only think of a few fruity flavors that may be enjoyed that could be distinguished with a black tint, like black cherry and, and, ummmm well black -cherry

I use to think that being pessimistic meant that you were drunk.
hahaha.. its actually quite funny. Especially to me.. now that I'm almost the big 30, I can look back on things like that and just laugh. Good feeling..
sheeesh, 30 years old next year.. I look at it like this though, its only a number.. its just numbers man. It's all on how you feel mentally.
If you feel young mentally.. and young at heart like I do.. you tend to feel like your still very young and full of energy.
It's really just a 'mind over matter' thing.. its kinda like I use to be able to actually slow my heart rate down at any given time.
Which again, is simply using and tapping into the power of your mind/brain. The heart is an involuntary muscle.. meaning it beats
without the brain having to tell it to do so.. however, it's a 'mind over matter' thing.
I also use to be able to hold my breath for a VERY long time when I was younger. I'm talking like upwards of 1 minute and 30 to 45 seconds at a time.
While that may not sound very long.. its a very long time when your the one holding your breath.
peace..

you forgot to mention blackberry and licorice, only one of which is really black, but i suppose that's beside the point. the reason i'm against black kool-aid should be obvious, i'm a racist.
Brazko
Well-Known Member
I did think of Blackberry but my thinking started to become subjective to my particular taste. Therefore licorice never came to mind.
O what a Pity, I'm an assorted rainbow type myself, but I did sense the underlying tone. I just knew you had something against the color black. You probably sleep with the lights on too..

no, but there is a loaded 12-gauge in a rack behind the bed, an old .32 (ancient, but perfectly serviceable) in a drawer by the front door and my walther in the desk. along with the ak, c4 and the thousands of rounds of ammunition stored behind the false wall in my living room, i appear to be ready for just about anything. i just can't seem to decide whether it's all in preparation for the coming race war, the inevitable declaration of martial law by our totalitarian regime, the invasion by militant mexican peasants or if i'm just some crazy nutcase. in any case, i'll keep stockpiling ammunition and splitting my time online between rui, stormfront and my knitting forums, not to mention searching for a convenient clock tower in my spare time.

Each of you are failing to consider the obvious... ovaltine.

ovaltine is brown and it's so last century.
