Please pay attention. They're not teal (that color is a trademark of
the San Jose Sharks), they're not "dusty rose" (that color is SO
'80s), they're PUCE.
Hey, this is my refuge from work. Don't be bringing it here.
Explanation to those of you who don't happen to work where Nick and I
do... For some reason, the color puc, has become a kind of running joke,
rather like the color teal and the phrase "pay attention" have done
here.

PS: It's a deep red to dark grayish purple. Really, a kind of dark,
saturated dusty rose, I suppose. I will puke now.
