"Remember the color Prussian blue?"
"Remember? What happened to it?"
"They retired it."
"Nah, they renamed it for being too insensitive. The Prussians were rather upset at having a certain quality of melancholy attached to their culture and country. The color is now called midnight blue."
"Ah, what a neat picture."
"It is."
"But you can't blog about crayons."
"I could write about The Colourfield . . . or A Blaze Colour or The New Colours or maybe even Ocean Colour Scene."
"Nobody writes about Ocean Colour Scene."
"What about their mum?"
"Their mum had her Internet and cable turned off. Overdue bills."
"One word, pal: MIX TAPE."
