So, there’s an obvious longer post coming today. But a short comment or two first.<\/p>\n

Saw a red-ribbon today. This was for supporting AIDS… Or. Aids awareness. I had to ask to be reminded which one was for breasts. Well, Okay.. Breast Awareness.. Or more correctly breast cancer awareness. (Pink)<\/p>\n

This evening I looked up awareness ribbons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much like a badly designed C++ class it’s great to see how each colour has been overloaded or avoided.<\/p>\n

There’s red: which ironically besides AIDS awareness, is also for Pro-Life awareness. It also stands for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome awareness… So you may want to verify your red ribbon wearer is actually championing someone who might not survive.<\/p>\n

Then there’s Orange: This is for motorcycle safety as well as feral cats. (No, I’m not kidding)<\/p>\n

Periwinkle is for eating disorders. Which too me is kind of cool, ’cause the colour makes me want to vomit.<\/p>\n

But my favourite has to be Green Ribbons. Green firstoff is for “safe driving, bipolar disorders, ovarian or prostate cancer.” But most importantly it’s for Tourette’s syndrome<\/a> awareness. <\/p>\n

So, I think I’m gonna start wearing a green ribbon. If people ask, I can look them square in the eye and say:<\/p>\n

“Green? What the f*#& is Green for on a ribbon, mo&$er-f*&#er? I’ll f&#(in’ tell you what the g&d-d*mn, sh&#-su&^ing green F(*&in’ ribbon is for, you a&#h*&^. &*# 9#*&#& (*&#&!!!<\/p>\n
