Was Redd Fox Right About Blue People

"If there were blue people, some asshole would hate 'em" - Redd Foxx

That's been a favorite quote of mine ... but ... how do we know it's really true.  Intuitively we know it as there's probably some asshole out there with an attitude toward koala bears.  When there are so many billions of people in the world, you're going to get some with the wires plugged into the wrong sockets.

So, how do we bring science to this and find out if some asshole really would hate blue people.

An epiphany came when I recalled my nephew, The Raven, demonstrated that, contrary to legend and song, it really is easy being green.  It's as easy as taking a bath in food coloring, in fact.

Therefore we conclude it would be easy to be blue ... and all the nauseating song lyrics that go with that.

So, what say we make Silas blue and then put an action cam on him to send him to Wal-Mart.


(Ed:  you don't have the balls for it)

You're probably right but I can visualize it and that increases the temptation enormously.  It requires RayBans as there mustn't be any actual engagement with people.  It would also be better if I had a silent partner who tails me and films the reactions from people when they think I can't see them.


(Ed:  you're less likely to find assholes who hate blue people at Wal-Mart than anywhere else you could go)

Yah, dat's a fact.  It's everywhere else that people start getting superior.  I only have to find one asshole to validate what Redd Foxx said, tho.  He said 'some asshole would hate them' and that's just one.

(Ed:  looks like we have a bet as I don't think you will find one at Wal-Mart)


Yevette, would it be cool to fly back here for a few hours to shoot this.

(Yevette:  of course it would be cool but you gots the money, honey??)

Fookin' details always wreck my plans (sob).


This may have to go to the category of Pranks of Future Maybe as it definitely requires the tail camera, showing what Silas is seeing wouldn't alone be enough.

Based on ticket sales the public loves blue people

Two possible wins then: the video might be cool and maybe I find blue person love. How can I go wrong.

(Ed: you'll find a way)

Prob'ly so, prob'ly so.
