Re: fuzzy blue monkeys(was Re: .sig)

Well, Nicole, if you'd care to specify what you mean by "blue" I'd be glad
to give you a Lrahran version.  Unfortunately, you'll have to be more
specific than just "blue" since Lrahran has no one word for "blue", but
instead, has several different words for different parts of the blue
spectrum.

So lift the cup of joy and take a big drink.
In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
