DUCK COLORS
Okay, so the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup. And Carl was all proud, telling me (for the 47th time) how he got to touch the Stanley Cup when he worked in Cleveland. I mean, the sick woman touched Jesus' garment and was healed. I get that. A man tried to jump into the popemobile today. I even get that (I think). But the thrill of touching the Cup? I'm not feelin' the love there.
So, the Anaheim Ducks win the Stanley Cup. Now, before I tell you how our conversation went, you'll first need to have a visual (if you're not already up on your hockey game, that is.)
Okay, got it? See the team jersey? Alrighty then. Here's our post-game conversation.
Me: They look like a Pittsburgh team.
Dh: Whaa?
me: A Pittsburgh team.
dh: Why? What are you talking about?
me: The black and gold. It reminds me of Pittsburgh.
dh: That's not black. It's green.
me: Whaa?
dh: That's green. It's not black.
me: Where? I don't see green. What team are you talking about?
dh: The ducks.
me: That is so not green.
dh: The mighty ducks wore green.
me: And?
dh: And that's why the Ducks have green on too.
me: I'm not seein' it there, but if you say so. Green. Really? Hu-h!
Apparently, they have a home team jersey with some green in it, but dh thought he saw green tonight. As he told me, "It's a really, really deep dark green." COLOR BLINDNESS IS ALIVE AND WELL.

That is SO not green! And, I have to say, from someone who LIVED in Pittsburgh the year the Steelers won the superbowl (2006-GO STEELERS!) I did have a moment where I was taken back when I saw the Ducks' jerseys...so, I have to agree with you.
And why, oh why, did that guy jump into the Popemobile??? I must have been in la la land yesterday!
I can only say I'm glad an assortment of Anaheim Ducks are in reality Canadians. Or the world would rotate off its axis. 19/28 Ducks hail from the Land of the Maple Leaf, so we can all heave a sigh and get on with living.
Loved your black-not-green conversation! You have a great ear for dialogue, Toni.
I don't see no stinking green either.
Contrare mon frer. I'm not seein' no stinkin' green either. Apparently touching that Stanley Cup did nothing for his vision. Perhaps you should rub some muddy spit in his eyes : )
