    3. Fistfight Red
    4. Hypothermia white

    I love the mental picture of many of these colors. “Cow Tipping” produces this blend of black and white/holstein blur in a falling motion. Priceless.

    Favorites have got to be – “Nobody Calls Me Yellow”, “Cow Tipping”, and Nicotene Fingernail Yellow”.

    Let’s throw in:

    Coffee Stain
    Allergy Rash
    Parachute didn’t open
    Skid Mark
    I can’t believe it’s not Orange

    ok, I’m in….

    1. Broccoli Monster
    2. Hammered Thumb
    3. Clown Smack
    4. Liver
    5. Who Put The Ex-Lax In The Brownies!?!

    Props to Parachute Didn’t Open, Brutal Honesty, Farts, & 1985.
