Seeing "blue roses" there suddenly reminded me of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie. Any relation to Project Blue Rose?

It's been a very long time since I saw TGM, so I have no idea how it was used there. :) The idea on PBR is that blue roses don't exist in nature, they're created in a lab, as are the psychic kids it deals with.

It's been a long time since I saw it or read it, but as I remember, blue roses were associated with Laura Wingfield, as a kind of pun on both their rarity and the similarity in sound to pleurosis, the lung condition she suffered from. She was viewed by her mother as the vehicle of her own hopes for glamour and position and by her brother as a delicate thing to be sheltered, incapable of living in the real world.

I watched it in a drama class in highschool. :) What I remember is all the "There's a Gentleman Caller" bits. XD

I like "checks cashed".

The "businessman leather pants" intrigue me.

Maybe instead of pants for businessmen it was leather pants made from the hides of businessmen?

Businessman leather pants....Hm...That one I really like. I wonder what their goal with that search was?

Personally, I was intrigued by "how to create pvc rig for artist alley" until I realized they probably just meant PVC pipes for some kind of frame/stand.
