Yesterday was a pretty bad day. Just a plain, old fashioned, bad day. It ended well, though. At the end of the bad part, I stopped at Lowe's to order my carpet for the house. And the color they assumed was something they called Kingwood Beige. It turns out the name of the actual color is Velveteen Rabbit. Anyway, this is apparently the color of the carpet in all the houses here in Stepford. So I went a few shades lighter to brighten the house up a bit for selling it. But it reminded me, again, of how bland and uniform this place truly is. Not that I needed more reminder, but I got it nonetheless.
It also reminded me of an old, silly joke, that seems appropriate. I'll leave it up to you whether it's a comment on the man... or his wife... or both... I wager there are a lot of beige ceilings here in Stepford... mine is white, however.
When this guy nails his whore she yells "harder! harder!"
When the guy gets it on with his mistress, she yells "faster! faster!"
When the guy makes love to his wife, she says "Beige...we should paint the ceiling beige..."
