maybe cothers should hire a bus and all come out to support you? we could be like vigilants, my horse won’t come, but maybe I could borrow one of the crayon lady’s welltrained horses, and we could show up in support.
too bad gas is so expensive. that would be a hoot, lots of women from all over showing up in the onehorsetrainertown.[/QUOTE]

I’ll come, and I can bring some cats!! Let me know who wants tailless and who wants regular…

(and in the meantime I am praying for everyone to be safe including lunatic psycho crayola woman… may her crayons be repo’d and her attention move elsewhere…)

leave kitties home

I’ve got 9, but all but 2 are 15 yrs old, altho one cat could whip anyone (he’s 5) and was a barn cat before he lost his job and I took him in to be housecat #10 at that time.
well, we’re all hoping that the dispute will end, and that the crayon letter will be posted, now if the op will simply sell the letter to crayola and make a fortune, to prove crayons can be used for anything, including threats.
all my cats have tails but some are arthritic, so tails droopy.
I guess we’ll all just wait with bated breath for some news to come up here. just as long as it doesn’t break on cnn. where is op anyway??? what state?
wish it was ga, as I could probably get an atlanta cop to get a copy of the crayon letter from whatever jurisdiction it was…what state was it?

One of my kids was a crayon for Halloween one year. Cute costume… we could all dress up in different colors !?? I’m sure we could come up with 64 people willing to travel there in crayon costumes !!! So who’s in ? We could car pool. Better yet, fill someone’s horse trailer up with horse women/men in their crayon suits (points up of course).

BA never stated where she was located, and that was very wise imho. The less specific details she gave about CCTL, the better. The less ammo CCTL has against her. As much as we would all love to know who CCTL is, I don’t think we NEED to know what state she’s in.

Can I be “raw umber”? I always wanted to be “raw umber”!!! If that’s taken I’ll be “burnt sienna”.

burnt sienna

ok dibs on burnt sienna before it gets chosen (like favorite fictitional horse thread). Not the prettiest color, but when I was a child, it was my favor crayon, altho blue is my favoite color. so burnt sienna is mine, y’all must pick another.
weell, if there is a trial, I’ll pick you up and we’ll go as a , how many to a pack? and then who is the sharpener???
I just want to know the state. then we can figure out the type of whacko that BA is dealing with, ie., redneck here in the south, texan (they have their own catagory of whackos), californian (ditto), etc. state please!
oh duh, 64 right, the nice big pack.

I’d like to be Indian Red, but I think that’s politically incorrect nowadays. Stupid PC stuff!

No cats, but have parrots. Noisy ones.

well darn. ok you be raw umber, but if is is taken (not on thread so it’s yours) then you take burnt sienna and I’ll take blue, just the regular color blue.

From Crayola website:
***Indian Red is renamed Chestnut in 1999 in response to educators who felt some children wrongly perceived the crayon color was intended to represent the skin color of Native Americans. The name originated from a reddish-brown pigment found near India commonly used in fine artist oil paint.

ok to be indian red if she is in georgia or florida as we have the politically incorrect braves and fsu has the seminoles.
don’t know about elsewhere as stanford had to change to cardinals, so you could be cardinal red in calif. a new color.

didn’t know that. ok, everyone choose up colors, chestnut is now taken by beesmom is it??? someone keep track of who has what color, in case we need to go support BA, we can dublicate colors if we have more than 64 people, and so are raw umber and burnt sienna, so we will all have to figure out the order in the pack later.
meanwhile, I hope the high sheriff doesn’t lose the letter. and hope that BA copies on color copier, wouldn’t it be awful if she copies in black and white?
and the gate, hope it is worth over the legal limit between felony and misdemeanor, in the
state of confusion? state of crayola?
ok beesmom is chestnut, joz is raw umber, I’m burnt sienna, why are we all taking these earth colors?

great minds

either we are all crazy or great minds think alike. If i were the crayon trainer, I’d be scared to be reading all this!

If the OP is still following this thread, I hope that the last several posts are giving her a smile - I know she must be pretty stressed right now.

The Crayon Crew is pulling for you!

I’ll be the eraser!

May I please be green? In a pinch, happy to be the sharpener instead. What color is THAT these days? :wink:

Hope the OP is hangin’ in there.

Cheers!

A little of both, perhaps?:smiley:

Maybe the term ‘crayon trainer’ will become a new euphemism for questionable horsepersons? As in “ya, we have a couple of crayons in our neck of the woods, too”

Yep! Yep!

“Man, that chick is an asshat, where’s the fruitbat?”

“Nah, she’s a crayon trainer. Mind your gates!”
