<Andy Rooney voice> Why is burnt orange a color? I remember when I was a lad in primary school the Crayola company would put a crayon in my 16 count coloring box that was labeled "burnt orange". I always wondered how they came up with that color. Did they burn an orange to make it, or was it just an uglier color of orange? I always thought it was a waste of space in the box in which they could have put a better, more useful color. And the "flesh" color also confused me, because it was not really the color of anyone's flesh that I knew.
When I would get a new box of crayons, since I could see no use for them, I would always take out the burnt orange and flesh crayons and either break them or melt them on the hot sidewalk, as a kind of sacrifice to the Crayola gods in order to keep the other colors from getting broken. That tactic never worked as all my crayons would eventually get broken before the next school year, when I would get new crayons.
My Crayola box had other colors of orange, too. There was yellow orange, which was kind of pukey, I guess. There was red orange that looked like bloody dirt, and there was plain orange, which I found I could make by combining the colors yellow and red. None of those orange colors were useful to me except when the teacher made me color a picture of a pumpkin. When I would color the pumpkin there would be so much orange that it made me kind of stupid when looking at it.
I always wanted a box of Crayolas that didn't have any orange colors. If I needed orange I could make it with other colors, but I rarely saw a need for it. The one use, other than pumpkin coloring, that i found for orange was to cover up burnt orange where someone else had used that color in a joint project. The rest of the time orange was a waste to me.
Eventually, one school year came when I was able to buy the larger, 64 count box of Crayolas. It had all the colors that anyone had ever invented or thought of. I found there were a lot of useful colors in that bigger box, including crimson and cream. There were still a variety of colors of orange that I took out and melted onto my GI Joe's head, but it was still better, because it had crimson and cream.
I think 64 crayons minus the number of pukey orange and flesh and other ugly and gay colors in the 64 count box would probably be about 46. So, I think OSU will score 46 points. I trust you are able to follow my logic for this pick. <Andy Rooney voice>
