Battle of the Colors – Round 5

And now for the results: Red …… seven votes. And Black …… drum roll …… eight votes! Black wins! Well, that round. It won that round. Round 4. Not the whole battle. Just 4. The round, that is. Not the number 4. It didn’t beat the number. That’s a battle for another time. (But I am looking forward to that battle, so that I can say, “What’s the greatest number?” Ha, ha! TS and I laughed for like ten minutes about that one. One, not 1. Forget about numbers. Seriously. We’ll do those later. Sheesh.) So, anyway, Black won, and now two new colors have stepped up to challenge each other:

GRAY VS. PURPLE

Gray’s Résumé
Experience:
  • Spent four years building 12-unit condominiums, for homeless beetles, out of egg cartons.
  • Served five years as vice president of a multi-hundred dollar shoelace company. (Personally oversaw the production of the little plastic parts they put on the ends.)
  • Worked for the government for eight years trying to invent a “Cougher” to replace the “Clapper.”
Special skills:
  • Have a special pilot’s license that certifies that I am qualified to fly a kite.

Purple’s Résumé

Alright, time for you to vote for the best of these two colors. All those who end up voting for the winning color will receive their very own “Cougher” and a signed copy of “That Tricky Z.” The next round begins on Saturday, so get your votes in before then.
