I never saw a purple cow\nI never hope to see one\nBut I can tell you here and now\nI'd rather see than be one\n\nPoem by Ogdan Nash, refers to something there is no such thing as, but if it existed you would not want to be it..

The Color Purple is a relevant title because toward the end of the book, Shug Avery and Celie are having a conversation while walking through a field of purple flowers.  Shug says to Celie, "God gets mad when you don't notice the color purple..."  The analogy is Celie living her life in the shadows...as Mister's abused wife, as caretaker to his children, and in being the 'ugly duckling.'  Celie, herself, is the color purple.  She eventually gets noticed, first by Shug, then by Mister, and ultimately her sister and children.  This is one of my favorite stories EVER.

Haven't found your medal, but the words "ne oublie" are the motto of the Scottish Clan Graham.  They mean "never forget".  Perhaps this helps?

A question back at you: Is the people eater purple or does he only eat purple people?  I might have met one in the 60's, but is kind of a blur.

According to Babel Fish, it means: \n\nThe dog looks at the flower and the flower opens up.

I think the person who wrote this put it in Google and got a crappy MSN name out of it.\n\nI think they MEANT to say 'no mas Senora bueno chico'.\n\nIt literally means 'no more mister good people' which is NOT what was intended.

Historically, the color purple has been associated with royalty and power, but did you know that the secret of its power lies in the glands of tiny shellfish creatures?\n\nI first heard about this on some History Channel special about a year ago.   And the following is from a web site that has the full history of the color purple:\n\n"The earliest archaeological evidence for the origins of purple dyes points to the Minoan civilization in Crete, about 1900 B.C. The ancient land of Canaan (its corresponding Greek name was Phoenicia, which means “land of the purple”) was the center of the ancient purple dye industry.\n\n“Tyrian Purple,” the purple dye of the ancients mentioned in texts dating back to about 1600 B.C., was produced from the mucus of the hypobranchial gland of various species of marine mollusks, notably Murex. It took some 12,000 shellfish to extract 1.5 grams of the pure dye. Legend credits its discovery to Herakles, or rather to his dog, whose mouth was stained purple from chewing on snails along the Levantine coast. King Phoenix received a purple-dyed robe from Herakles and decreed the rulers of Phoenicia should wear this color as a royal symbol."

purple represents justice; green represents faith; and gold represents power.\nIs that what you mean or do you want to know where to buy yarn?  You can buy the yarn at www.yarnware.com.

It could either be a misspelling of OOPS or I saw OPPs as an abbreviation earlier tonight meaning OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY!  Not sure what it meant in your experiences.

The emotional lyrics can have multiple meanings. On the surface, they seem to be an apology from one lover to another. On a deeper level, they can have a spiritual allegory. It is a theory that "Purple Rain" is a metaphor for heaven, inspired by the testimonies of a woman who died on the operating table that the afterlife is full of falling purple rain.

I believe it's a drug reference...think of "Pass the Duchy".,,the rasta song from the '80's.

O.K. - \nabbreviation of "oll korrect", alteration of "all correct" : all right. Mutilple emails (see contrib list) have indicated that the abreviation O.K. was not an english expression, they claim that the term came from the germans during the W W II, because the merchandise that they used in war was revised and stamp with a seal stating OLL KORRECT, so the abreviation for those words were O.K. \n\n\n:)\n\nhey your avatar is similar to mines! :)

i think this is one of the best almost all black people know this:\n\nfrom the color purple- "you told harpo to beat me. all my life i had to fight. i had to fight my daddy, i had to fight my uncles. a girl child ain't safe in a house of mens. i loves harpo, lord knows i do, but i'll kill him dead before i let him beat me."
