Greatest Season 10 episode of Thomas
Man, Thomas and the Colours is so good, I love it, especially the hit era aesthetic
½ of achievement, not-so-great triumph, to do something half perfect, neither fail nor succeed
Marco: Mum, look! I got flyin' colours for my drawing!
Mum: It should be floating colours, you misspelled your name.
- How is your exam in biology?
- I passed it with flying colours!

Perhaps the first all-African-American rock/heavy metal band in history-- or rather, the first mainstream all-African-American rock/heavy metal band in history, Living Colour was, and still is, a revolutionary band, which combined raging guitar riffs with amazing drum beats and crazy, nimble basslines,and occasionally a synth or two (like in Hemp or Auslander). Although they put out wuite a few records, the two they're best known for are Tim's Up, which mainly consisted of vicious, off-beat guitar riffs, jazzy synthisizers, and hypnotic basslines, and Stain, which, except for the songs"Hemp" and "WTFF," is purely metal.
The mambers of the band are Vernon Reid (the guitarist, and one of the last real artists alive), Corey Glover (vocalist, Danny Glover's son, star of the movie "Platoon," and the founding member of Living Colour), William Calhoun (drummer, and music major (woot to the nootches!)), and Doug Wimbish (bassist, originally backed Grandmaster Flash and the Furious on Sugar Hill records). Each member is key in the execution of the music, and each instrument melds together with the others to create a smooth, but eerily off-beat sound which marked the black man's first real foray into white history. What's more, they managed to use the white man's music to fight racism, sexism, homophobia, AIDS, poverty in Africa, and conformity.
The members of the band split up in 1995, each going their separate ways, then reformed sometime in the past 5 or 6 years. They are still touring, and are coming to the Chicago House of Blues on December 5th, 2005. Tickets for general admission cost $20. Which means that the House of Blues is already $20 richer.

A woman chaser.
Used by Chinese immigrants, it's a translation from the Chinese term.
I saw him with three different girls last week, he's colour wolf.

A small race of people with mixed skin colour, referred to as coloureds in South Africa. NB: This is a non-racist term.
Cape coloureds are found in Cape Town especially and are wonderfully vibrant, strong people. A typical Cape coloured speaks fluent 'Kombuis'(kitchen) Afrikaans; this is the informal more English version on Afrikaans.
They have notible accents, never ever get on their bad side. If you ever meet a bitchy coloured girl or a sleazy coloured guy, you'll know why. They are the toughest race on the planet and can 'wys' you just like that.
An English accent: I like to got to Paris but I think it's just a phase I'll grow out of.
A typical Cape Coloured accent: I lyke to goh to Parr-ACE but I think is jus a f-ACE I'll groh out of.

A friend that in given moments happens to be more than simply a friend, usually involving kissing and sex.
- Yesterday evening, did you see Mary and Peter kissing?
- Yeah, I guess they're colourful friends, but nobody knows it.
