    OK Northerners….YOU got me, last night we had a frost that broke my 3/4" irrigation line and my water pump ran all day until I went out and lit the charcoal at 5 pm. THEN I saw water spraying everywhere. Hopefully it didn’t ruin the timers. OK…IT’S COLD UP THERE!

    Great pun and my wife and I went through this exact same thing but for our entire house. Ugh. I assure you, Brutus, that leaving it up to her is the best decision a husband can make! I never knew there were so many different shades of white either although I have to admit that poltergeist, Ahab’s Whale, surrender flag, and shade of pale weren’t on our paint chips. True story: John Lennon loved Whiter Shade of Pale so much he listened to it repeatedly on a record player in his psychedelic Rolls Royce while being chauffeured around London in ‘67.

    From “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House”:

    Muriel Blandings: I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin’s egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don’t let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green. Now, the dining room. I’d like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you’ll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can’t go wrong! Now, this is the paper we’re going to use in the hall. It’s flowered, but I don’t want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There’s some little dots in the background, and it’s these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room – in here – I want you to match this thread, and don’t lose it. It’s the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it’s practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy Winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me…

    Mr. PeDelford: You got that, Charlie?

    Charlie, Painter: Red, green, blue, yellow, white.

    Mr. PeDelford: Check…

    Martha Stewart, she is not, in more ways than one, as Martha was both a model and an actress before she became the Domestic Diva of our day. As to what shade of white goes into the kitchen or any color into any other room (other than a guy’s den or game room) husbands couldn’t care less. Have at it girl…..

    Ha! I had a similar conversation with Mrs. “BigPlay” this past summer. We were getting ready to have the hose painted and she put up some samples, all slightly different shades of white. When I said “They all look the same to me. whatever you choose is fine”, she got mad and said I wasn’t putting in any effort for the project. I wish I would have come up with Brutus’ response. Brillant!

    Been there. Done that. Confronted by your better half to choose from several different shades of white. Shades of white where only the female eye can see any difference.

    Me: They all look the same to me.

    Better Half: The same? Are you blind?

    My wife and I have had a few humorous debates about the color “white” as it relates to clothing. Her slacks are never white, they’re “bone” or “eggshell” or “cream,” and so on. It comes down to those gags about the differences between men and women, one being that men only see in 16 colors, and that “peach” is a fruit, not a color.

    So of course I fully expected Brutus and Gladys to engage in similar banter after she recites the list of paint colors. Instead, Brutus wins the day with a clever bit of wordplay. Truly a man after my own heart!
