So says YOU, Doc! I have photos wherein they are the bluest of blue (and they surely look that way in LOTM closeups on the big screen to ME), and I have other photos where they are a cold gray, and one (count 'em, ONE) photo where they MIGHT be considered green. Until I gaze into the depths of them thar eyebulbs ME OWN SELF, I'll call 'em as I sees 'em, and that's BLUE as the sky above!! Nyah, nyah, nyah!

Awwwww, Doc...and you were doin' so well for a minute, there! That movie almost made me break my favorite Jimi Hendrix album...couldn't listen to Purple Haze for a LONG time after being forced by my cruel and dastardly hubby to sit through the thing. (I would have run awaaaaaaaaay, except for the fact that I adore Martin Sheen, but I'll get even with him for Apocalypse Now, if it's the last thing I ever do. That, and for foisting Charlie off on an unsuspecting world!!
