Comment on Is Neopets a “Neoscam”? by Finch

Neopets used to be the greatest website on planet earth! It still ranks in the top ten or so, but it’s been going downhill. Some new things are really cool, but with the neocash mall, premium, and ssw, people seem to think that it’s the best thing to pay to get these extras.

Neopets isn’t my website, but it’s my one of my faves.

I went to Enwhyyou, too. And for me, the name “Violets” always seemed to fit nicely with the school and its commitment to the physiological arts.

My prep school teams were called the “Blues” — after the vicious bluefish, said Mr. Panzerschlag, the gym teacher and einsatzgruppen washout. Miss Guisinger, who taught music, insisted (over Camel Lights in the parking lot) that the name came from a well-loved 12-bar musical form. “No, Nihil, I won’t go to see Rocky Horror with you, ” she’d say. “Now go practice your pentatonics.”

Teams named after colors have a long tradition, don’t they? The fiercely fighting boys of Harvard are know as Crimson, right? And although Harvard may kick NYU’s ass in some ways — fund raising, academics, name-droppability, and luscious alumnae — at least NYU knows what color to use with its name. Crimson is bright red, with a dash of purple, except at Harvard, where it seems to be maroon or burgundy.

Amazingly enough, the domain grapplingviolet.org is available (and .com, and…). It should be yours.
