Why thank you. 
How goes your efforts with the foot soldiers in the marches? The bug splatter deflector field device is almost done and Viola says her plans for world domination are nearly at their apex.
Based on what I've seen so far, those foot soldiers would be very useful...

BRG and MY owners may be onto something!
" ... we are discussing which is more exciting and I note that none of you are brave enough to pony up with your own arguments for why your color is more exciting than mine [PS] ..." RandomGemini
Candidly, I thought it might be a trivial exercise to refute all the baloney about which color is or isn't the most exciting. Much to my consternation after a bit of snooping here I found an interesting characteristic about the light spectrum: the intensity of light varies with color as the graphic shows.
Thus, if we assume light intensity can be correlated to "exciting" -- at least informally, then BRG and MY owners may have a point. Sympathies to the OB and CR crowds ... see the curve in the graphic.
Of course, all this is likely immaterial since as we all know, PW light can be decomponsed by a prism into all the other color hues and, therefore, basks in the glow of any single hue.
P.S. I, too, wish NFR was available in the MCS ... it's drop dead beautiful ... especially in the soft light of dawn.

Harkening back to the originator of this "club" ... it reminded me of a sign I gave my dad, made by what is NOW Uber MINI.... It's the "pirate eye chart." VERY COOL. My father ADORES it, and has posted it proudly at work.

Self Evident Axioms
Surely there are more numerous self-evident axioms other than these two:
1. There's one thing that money can't buy ... poverty.
2. The light at the end of the tunnel merely indicates:
a. a preferred way to run if an on-coming locomotive head-lamp ... away from.
b. otherwise, indeterminant.

Homophones abound on internet sites, including this one. Sadly, few seem to appreciate the utility of having a handy list to inject one or more at random. Submitted for your convenience is a list of more commonly used homophones:
accept......except
aid...........aide
all............awl.........oil
bare.........bear
band........banned
boar.........bore
brake........break
ensure.......insure
ewe..........yew........you
far............fire
for............fore........four
hair...........hare
hear..........here
it’s............its
knot..........naught........not
knows........nose
loaner........loner
medal........meddle........metal........mettle
missed.......mist
pedal........ peddle........ petal
role...........roll
root..........route
rout..........route
their..........there
to.............too........two
vain..........vane........vein
wait..........weight
war...........wore
weather.....whether
ya’ll..........yawl
Indicates additions to the original listing.
Perhaps our Sgt@Arms will sea to it that proper usage is observed reporting sirius infractions to appropriate authority
Note: Keen eyed persons will observe some list items are in blue bold font, indicating additions made for those with a southern drawl.
