Purple Right Hand

Today, I went on a long mulberry walk in the vicinity of Muskrat Cove (PDF link) and filled up four sizable containers, and mah belly, with the delectable fruits. By the time I got home, my right hand was as purple as the robe of a monarch:




It took a bit of scrubbing to get the anthocyanins off, but in the end I had more luck than Lady MacBeth (who was framed). It's funny, I imagine I looked like some kind of weirdo walking through the neighborhood with my hand looking like that, but I would've looked a hundred times scarier if my right hand had been red. Hmmm... sounds like a song or something:





Off topic, but a few days ago, Monsieur McGravitas posted a biography of Rowland S. Howard of The Birthday Party... I've been listening to a lot of Nick Cave's stuff lately. Thanks, SMcG!

A fine tune, indeed.

Glad to see you voted, BBBB.

Now it's just a matter of planting a car bomb and going to a rally...

No problem.

I thought that hand pic was some kind of illustration at first glance. You should go purple more often.

So, you voted in an Iraqi election five times? Still, probably a better system than the one the Supremes have unleashed on us here.

I could've if I had a sweet contract with the NFL. National foragers' league, that is!

Glad to see you voted, BBBB.

I voted for Moqtada al-Sarah.

There are enough mulberries littering the ground, I could just roll around and bepurple myself.

I made sure the poll-watcher was colorblind.
