This would take a “none more beige” tag if such existed. Ron obviously got an A in Advanced Drapery at art school.
@fred: Good find. I can certainly see the Zelazny influence. I too find the plain old websites a relief from the slick all singing all dancing ones of today.
Last night I watched “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad”. Rather an abundance of blue-eyed “Arabs” with dodgy accents, but if you need eye-popping and gurning, Tom Baker’s your man. He, Sinbad, and Martin Shaw (!) must have used all the dark greasepaint in Spain. Caroline Munro didn’t have blue eyes, but no one was looking at them anyway. Towards the end of the time when Harryhausen’s style effects were still mind-bogglingly impressive. (Though Bubo remains adorable)

Wrecked on the planet of 80s hair.
@fred: I actually like messy do-it-yourself websites. Reminds me of the internet before Facebook, Amazon and a few other sites devoured it.

@GSSxn—I would love a “none more beige” tag.

@BC: Mon ami, we can’t even get “jaunty hip”. Le sigh.

Maybe we’d have more luck if it were “plus rien de beige”? Sound more classy?

Look to the left: A Pokéball! Clearly he missed when he threw the ball at the… Blondchickachu or something.
