Pardon my ignorance, but what is the origin of the "Pepsi Blue" reference? I've waded through several searches, but cannot find The Original post to which it refers.

All Hail the wiki!

Thanks bob. The sad thing is, if I had done just a little more searching, I could have figured it out myself. Live and learn, I guess.

Heh. I found myself asking the very same thing a couple days ago and was delighted to find it on the wiki. What a great resource for us newer kids.

It’s all in there.

You're right! I had that thread bookmarked, and my link now gets "Nothing to see here...." Goddammit, Matt, can't you let us have any fun??

Damn right I'm right! Don't sound so surprised, languagehat. Sometimes I even surprise myself.

Say what you will about quonsar, he takes this shit seriously. What makes him loveable is that he makes such an effort to pretend that he doesn't.

I love the q.
