        if you can't trust the Onion, who can you trust? - loosilu Apr 6, 11:49
  - Wailed on is what I have always seen. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 11:41
  - "whaled on"? i've never seen that. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 11:40
- You know? I buy that he actually thought it would play out the way he envisioned. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 6, 11:38 1

  - and yet, we still need to pay them on time. It's a travesty I tell you! -- nm - decline Apr 6, 11:34
  - Makes sense, as the workers would likely be furloughed. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 11:33 3
    - *sends em a bill for the interest* -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 11:33 2
      - Good luck with that. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 6, 11:35 1

- I like that they dress Tony like Cary Grant. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 6, 11:37 1

- she's Irish -- nm - peglegpete Apr 6, 11:19
- i want more green for my role she said -- nm - DaneMacDuke Apr 6, 11:18
- it's a jew thing - decline Apr 6, 11:17
- military green? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:16 1
  - it's possible. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 11:17

  - and wardrobe gives distinct look to each actor on every show. a style, a colour, something. - Andie Apr 6, 11:17 19
    - This explains the Fresh Beat Band -- nm - CQ Apr 6, 11:24
    - Abby is always in black. otherwise, they don't seem to have any color themes. - loosilu Apr 6, 11:18 17
      - it's not necessarily a 'colour theme', it's a guidebook of what they want the character to wear. - Andie Apr 6, 11:21 5
        
        I *love* trying to figure these out. And when they change them, it's so awesome. - Amy Apr 6, 11:25 3
        
        i swear one season of Buffy (maybe 1 or 2?) every dress she wore was exactly the same in a different material. - Andie Apr 6, 11:27 2
        
        I read an article about that! That was hair up season, too. The stylist said they were trying it out, and that the fabrics were great but on camera - Amy Apr 6, 11:29 1
        
        Bring out... the Pants Patrol! -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 11:31
        
        interesting, didn't know that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 11:21
      - isn't she like a rave kid? so like that's what a rave kid would wear, not a color theme. see the difference? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 11:19 8
        
        she's supposed to be a goth (although she says she's not). -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 11:20 7
        
        ok, so see? what a goth would wear is black. (I saw the promo for NCIS LA and she was wearing these horrible rave kid socks. - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 11:21 6
        
        so an Israeli assassin would wear green? -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 11:21 5
        
        you're just being pedantic now. abby's black is not because of a color. it's because of a uniform. you suggested it was a color thing. - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 11:24 4
        
        I'm not trying to be, honest. Goth=black is easy. Just wondering if there is some kind of message with the green. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 11:26 3
        
        maybe ask an NCIS fan board? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 11:29
        
        She's dark-complextioned....her natural skin tone goes well with green. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 11:27 1
