So I may be the only young adult who listens to NPR just aas much as I listen to my music but no matter, Last Saturday on my lunch break I was listening to NPR and of course it was the program "A Prairie Home Companion" was on. On one of the first scetches on the program there was a character who needs a shirt for an audition for a play. He asks the woman behind the counter what colors she has and begins a long tirade of different colors including zebra (WTF). While listening and during the end i hear something that kinda sounds like ultramarine but im not sure. I was re-listening to the episode online today and truth be told i hear ultramarine again. What do you guys think?! this program is written mainly for older adults.

here is the link to the episode:

listen at 10:30 and by 10:50 you'll hear it.

Ultramarine is a colour...

You know that ultramarine is a pigment, right?

Damn you purplefood, ninja'd.

I am that.

I guarantee you Garrison Keeler has no idea who Marneus Calgar is, and the most Grimdark A Prairie Home Companion will ever get is a Lutheran Church in November hosting a bake sale.

To the vast majority of the world, Ultramarine is a color, not a transhuman warrior monk.

Finals, they have an effect on the cognitive processes

Ironic that isn't it...

For cripes sake! There I was, face to the screen, listening in vain for the movie playing in the background. Then I realize it is just a lady listing colors. We have our "Dumba-- of the Day" winner...yay.

LOL

OK you got an LOL out of me... bravo! I have heard some interesting stories on NPR so was hoping there was a story on this odd subculture we're all part of... But the ultramarine thing was hilarious.

There's also a gas station called ultramar, I wonder if they sell promethium?

ironfront, this is an example of EPIC FAIL.

I wonder if GW is going to go after art supply companies for using their IP?

You, sir, are an ultra-maroon.








Please refer to the 1952 "Bully for Bugs" for an explanation.

So... GW needs to start a lawsuit with the art community?

Demand royalties for every use of the pigment and restrict its use from the southern hemisphere?

Hey im in the medical field not a god damn artist, lol.

need some clinical tests done? i got that spot on, ask me about colors? pfffft. primaries, thats about my range.

It's a Canadian chain, isn't it? I remember going to Quebec one time and being pleasantly surprised when I saw the station.
