GREIGEVILLE – Residents are still reeling from the multichromatic devastation unleashed here by a tornado of color early Friday morning.
Rated an F5 on the intensity scale, the tornado descended upon the taupe and cream streets with it a garishly vivid horror rarely seen in the area.
“This has always been a nice, neutral-toned kind of town,” said local egg farmer Buff Ecru, 57. “I’d never even heard of ‘cyan’.
“I wish to hell I still hadn’t.”
The town’s main street, Ivory Boulevard, was virtually unrecognizable in the wake of the storm, its pale storefront facades a brilliant chaos of color. A handwritten sign posted Friday on a popular local restaurant, the Clamshell, read CLOSED FOR DECOLORIZATION. At this point, nobody can say exactly when the Clamshell will resume serving its signature vanilla-and-marshmallow milkshakes. But residents had larger worries.
“The Elks Hall is magenta,” Ecru continued, clearly shaken. “Think about that: magenta. Who ever heard of a magenta elk? It’s wrong.”
City officials vowed to begin cleanup immediately and salvage as much of the town’s historic drabness as possible. But whatever happens, one thing is certain: life here will never look the same again.
Wear this shirt: to reassure everybody in the basement with you that tornadoes can be fun.
Don’t wear this shirt: and try to make jokes about how you’re a colored person.
This shirt tells the world: “Cy-y-y-yan…over you…”
We call this color: White Is Too A Color

So this one came as a random shirt that I bought, I didn’t know what shirt was coming for me, and I can’t say it really made much sense to me and it doesn’t really fit my style, I know I ended up giving it to someone at some point, no idea who though. I also freely admit that I don’t really get it, it’s a color tornado… but yeah… this was a #RandomFail when it came to getting a random shirt.
