Red: The Color of the Tomato I'm Gonna Throw...

Rate: 37 Flag

 tomato

...at the next person who puts up a colo(u)r post.

I love Cat. Her idea is brilliant! It elicited some marvelous poems, essays, and pictures. I've had a blast reading them. Plus, it's great to see so many writers participating in a wonderfully creative project. The first two hundred posts were especially riveting. Then I began to notice some duplication in colo(u)r. At four hundred posts, I began to crave numbers. Now at six hundred, I'm ready to gouge my eyes out. 

So here's an idea for an Open Call: I want to challenge everyone to delete a post with colo(u)r in the title. It's simple. All you have to do is press the delete key -- and poof -- the post will disappear. I'll set an example by deleting this post in an hour.

Good luck! And thanks in advance. 

 

P.S. (6:00 pm): After reading the comments below, I've decided to leave this post up. It's no worse than my other crap. Have a joyous and colorful Christmas!

Pffffffffffffft! No one did Auburn except me!
I'm seeing lots of white as I just got in from shoveling. More to come, so the weatherman says. Don't delete color posts because some of us need more color about now!
Merry Christmas, Steve.
Hey, I'm not deleting anything!
Chicago Guy and I did orange, and it's staying.

{throws tomato}
{keeps orange}
I'll catch the tomato and use it in a salad . . .
toss that tomato here, I need one for the soup I'm making.
fyi, I did virescent, more than just a color.
Awww, you're not fun at all, Steve! In Boston, we'd say "pahty poopah" (not me, mind you, just the natives). Happy Hawlidays!
Brava! I only just added colour to my tag because I reference an artist I adore. The title does not include any color, but the post does. I do not like assignments. I adore Cat, but I've never been much of a joiner. This challenge, however, got me to thinking about 'drinking the kool-aid', and I'd been looking at his work again, so I put something down. He is officially the only person on the planet I would go back and tag a post for. xox
Are you really such a cranky old man :)
I think not!
At least its not a rotten tomato
That is a mighty fine picture of a tomato.

I was going to write about the massive snowstorm when I was three and we had to walk five miles in it to chop our own wood... and then I thought better of it. My brown post stays, though, dude.

:) Are you back in the states? Are you getting ice on your house, too?
Oh, go ahead and throw the tomato. I have a wonderful and easy tomato/cucumber recipe.
That tomato has Palin's name all over it...
I'm with you, baby. I wrote my post on that awful infomercial, remembered the green gas emmenating from some guy's ass, and voila! my colo(u)r entry. End of story.
Tomato-y sheeple. Happy holidays to you and yours.
I smell a Scrooge, and he smells like tomatoes!
You might need that red tomato to see your way through the blizzard that's coming your way. Merry Christmas to you and your mom! xoxo
Great, now I am seeing Red and it doesn't look good on my satin gown! Suffer my friend...you're probably color blind anyway!

Merry Christmas Steve!
Hey, thanks Steve. You just gave us an idea for new posts, -- let's all do vegetables! You already took tomato. Let's see ...eggplants, no. Sugar snap peas. Nah. Maybe pattypan squash ... or brussel sprouts ... or....
Why do you think I picked Plaid?
Ah, go spend the holidays with Floyd! Pfffttt!
What a brilliant idea. I like it so much I may create an open call for Disappearing Fiction Friday. That is, Friday Fiction that is listed in the am and will be gone at the stroke of midnight.

Read it and/or weep.
Ah, your Grinch is showing. I think I love you.


Merry, merry.
Relax dude. Try some Roma therapy or something. Sounds like you'll be posting as Blind Tomato Blevins from now on. The colour blizzard of '09 - it's worse than Katrina.
Shouldn't you be watching "A Christmas Story"?
so damned funny...merry Christmas, merry man
Do you know how much tomato(u)es cost these days?
My "black" was just awful and I've been meaning to delete it but now you can count it as a done deal.
Merry Christmas Steve... this is my gift to you.
What a sorehead! You must go and read my color post immediately.
but i cannot delete the crimson tide :)
merry christmas!
I tried to delete your post but the editors won't allow me to do it !!!
I've been seeing all kinds of colors lately . . . .has anyone ever died from orgasms? :)
Four hours and counting. Your delete key must be broken.
Happy Holidays, my friend.
Rated.
Saffron and Rainbow are not colors, technically. So mine stay. And you get added to my fave's list, 'cause I don't mind a crank once in a while among all the nice people here. Glad to have caught the tomato. Care for a bloody Mary? Cheers!
Oh Tomato, lest ye be yet again generalized. I credit ye specific reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, whites, greens, purples, blacks, and motley mixes in between.
Better Boy, Early Girl, Beefsteak and Beefmaster , Thai Pinks, Caspian Pink, Pink Bradywine,Hawaiian Pineapple, Kellogg’s Breakfast,Persimmon,Azoychka, Yellow Stuffer, Garden Peach,White Beauty, Ghost Cherry,White Queen,Greman Green Stripe, Green Moldovan, Green Zebra, Cherokee Purple, Black Ethiopian, and Paul Robeson
Awwwww....I'm loving the color! :)

Merry Christmas Steve! I love your sense of humour!
Glad you left this up, Steve. Had it disintigrated, I'd have missed it ... just like I missed my last assignment (which I failed to accept) at Mission Impossible which got me in BIGGGGG Trouble! you are right on .... color me colorless. (((R)))
Dr. Blevins? Is that you? I'm here for my examination.
Bitch, bitch bitch! Snnnnarrrrllll. (shows remaining teeth.)
Did someone else write about blue?
Black is the color of my true love's post
*ducks* Hmmm... guess I could change the color. Red just seemed appropriate with all the decapitation. Maybe crimson?
if you don't mind, i'm gonna steal 'it's no worse than my other crap' for my daily use. thanks!

merry grimace!
Steve, Steve, Steve.

You rock.

A good day to you.
Oh, Steve Blevins. It's exactly on par with all your other crap. Happy Whatsmas!
That tomato looks yummy!
Merry Christmas, dear Steve.
Kisses
Marcela (with a slight hangover...)
You get Festivus and a Merry Christmas!
What if I said.........."Caribbean Blue"...........would that change your mind?????

Hugs!
mine wasn't really about colour (i used two 'cuz i'm just so avante garde), it was about sex, so i'm off the hook, right?

aaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh to you, you scrooge.
