More Purple Noodling

December 06, 2003

There's been discussion at the BlueOxenCollaboratory about making a ChurchOfPurple logo to go along with the hymns being bantied about.    (21D)

I fiddled about in Illustrator some, first making this:    (21E)

but quickly became dissatisfied, so made this, which might be better:    (21G)

Meanwhile, Matt Schneider countered my grumpiness with being able to understand PurpleNumbers with a good example from conversation with his grandfather.    (21I)

Update: Matt has corrected me: The gentleman in question is his father not grandfather. I'm not sure how I got that. It says father right there in the referenced bit. With server independent purple numbers, I could have just transcluded, and not had to worry about it.    (2PN)

Oh I know what it is. The second one reminds me of those illustrations of the female nether-parts, that you might see in a feminist 1970s health book.    (254)

Somehow that makes it seem all the more appropriate.    (256)

Why? Dunno.    (257)
