From Boston.com:
When it comes to correcting papers and grading tests, purple is emerging as the new red.
“If you see a whole paper of red, it looks pretty frightening,” said Sharon Carlson, a health and physical education teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton. “Purple stands out, but it doesn’t look as scary as red.”
The considered reply of protein wisdom the educator: “Oh shut the fuck up, lady.”

Still smiling inwardly, Joshua muses, “I’m the hippest wonk on the fucking EARTH.”
Later as he hit the mensroom after his fifth tea, he inspected the lesions one more time with an incredulous grimace. He swore out loud, “Damn, that Cutler chick, damn her!”
Just to make certain we’re discussing the same person, when you refer to “Joshua Micah Marshall,” I assume you mean Joshua Micah Hezekiah Bucephalus Chauncy Boutros-Boutros Mellencamp Marshall?
Purple loves me.
Power to the purple!
