Really? Is this what we have come to as a civilized society? Do you think that the Navajo or the Sioux (real <del>NATIVE AMERICANS<\/del> or people who lived here BEFORE WE DID) named days of the years with color adjectives? I doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>But, while we&#8217;re on the topic and &#8220;Green Monday&#8221; as it were, which is supposedly the best shopping day of the year on the Internet. Yeah, I don&#8217;t quite understand how it wrestled that title away from &#8220;Cyber Monday&#8221; either, but that&#8217;s a different debate involving far different colors not appropriate for this blog&#8217;s audience.<\/p>\n<p>Black Friday, Green Monday, 50-Shades of Grey Thanksgiving Thursday, they all remind me of a color my dad always used to say. He didn&#8217;t say it because it was important or necessarily correct, but because he liked to say it. He once owned this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a black Landau Top on it that he said was, and I quote because I heard it 100&#8217;s of times, &#8220;Baby Shit Brown&#8221;. Yeah, I don&#8217;t know either. I don&#8217;t know why a person just couldn&#8217;t say &#8220;brown&#8221; but HAD to add the words, &#8220;Baby Shit&#8221; to elaborate the color &#8220;Brown&#8221;. But, he always did. Still does to this day if that car comes up in conversation. It&#8217;s like the breakfast meal he got all the time when he was in the Army. He didn&#8217;t like this meal, but rather he just liked saying it. &#8220;Shit on a Shingle&#8221;. To this day, I don&#8217;t know what constitutes a &#8220;Shit on a Shingle&#8221;. I have no idea. None.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why I tell this story, but I guess all the colored days got my mind wandering and it came up. I know that once, I referred to someone&#8217;s breakfast that they had prepared for a group of people, including me, as &#8220;Shit on a Shingle&#8221;. Yes, it was embarrassing and nope, no one said that their parents used to say the same thing. Maybe I tried to release that term on the wrong occasion or dish? I don&#8217;t know. What I do know is that is NOT a way to compliment someone else&#8217;s cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, tomorrow I declare it is &#8220;<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Baby Shit Brown Tuesday<\/span>&#8221; for all the crappy things that happen to anyone during the HOLIDAY SEASON. I for one, have a few to &#8220;refer to&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I declare it is &#8220;BABY SHIT BROWN TUESDAY&#8221;&#8230; Green Monday? Really?
