How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? But if a woodchuck can't chuck wood then how much wood might a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck can chuck wood?

-breath-

If the woodchuck can't chuck wood then how can a woodchuck chuck wood if the woodchuck can't chuck wood? Then if a woodchuck might chuck wood, will the woodchuck go chuck wood?

I realize that you guys are all thinking out your arguments in a very logical male way. Good for you.

Now, on to the female way of thinking which really is the only way to do it in a discussion of clothing like this.

If I had a dress that was yellow with polka dots on it, (say the dots were black, or green perhaps) I would descibe my dress as my yellow polkadot dress. I would not describe it as a black polkadot dress, because that would conjure up images of a black dress. Nor would I call it a green polka dot dress. If there's only one colour mentioned, it's the predominant colour of the fabric.

If I wanted to give a clear indication of what colour the polka dots were, I would deliberately phrase my statement to say the dress "with the yellow polka dots" in some fashion. "My green dress with yellow polkadots" would be an example.

Polkadots, you see, are more like an "accessory". You wouldn't expect a guy to refer to his navy suit with white pinstripes as "my white pinstripe suit", would you? Because that's just weird.

What she obviously meant to say at the end of all of this.. but seems to have forgotten is:

PWNED!!!!1111

ie. she's right.

And I'm not just saying that cuz I want to take pictures of her in a yellow polka-dot bikini, either.

yellow's really not my colour....my bikini is in shades of blue, green and purple. :)

Why do you want a bikini getting in the way?

You're not going to argue with me over what you'd look good in for photos are you? I think I nice (darkish) yellow would be quite fetching on you... assuming the bikini was scant enough.
