Customize Burro Hall

Not the website - but the actual adobe-and-plaster version!

Because we live in a socialist, liberty-loathing hellhole, workers from the city will be coming by in a few weeks to re-plaster and re-paint our entire house for free. The bastards! Can universal healthcare be far behind?

The catch - there's always a catch, isn't there - is that they will only paint the house in one of 45 ruling-junta-approved colors (famous American capitalist Martha Stewart offers paying customers a choice of over 350). Burro Hall, you see, was an historic edifice even before we started this site - it was standing before America even existed (and will be standing long after she's gone, the neighbors often tell us with a menacing grin) - and as part of the city's "Operation 'Oh, Shit, UNESCO's Coming!' 2009," they're trying to repaint the Centro in historically accurate colors. On the newly-plastered and white-washed wall of our next door neighbors' house is the neighborhood color chart.


So a couple of weeks ago our landlord dropped by for a surprise inspection, and we asked him which color he'd like us to have the house done in. "Oh, you decide," he says. How much do we love this guy! But of course no one moves to Mexico because they want to take on more responsibility and decision-making, so we're turning this over to the Great Unwashed Masses (that's you.) Vote for your favorite color in comments, or via email, and unless the landlord exercises his veto power, or we uncover evidence that ACORN has tampered with the election again, we'll abide by your decision. It's hard to tell exactly (we have to admit, several of these colors look identical to us), but we think the facade is currently A3.

Vote early and often.
