Have crayon-makers gone mad?? Saw some crayons last week - all the colors were puns on computer-related lingo. They were disturbing ....

Thu, November 18, 2004 - 4:03 PMWow, that's artsy. Mostly I just got the shavings stuck to places that would result in an admonition from mom or dad.
Part of the smell is the new paper the crayons were wrapped with. I never did take the paper off and color with the side of the crayon. It was nifty!
