I am very glad that dumb crap from my childhood is nowhere in digital form.

In March of 2009, I partnered with @toad94 to add TR King colors to the BCC palette. Mark and I first looked at the existing BCC colors to determine where the gaps were and then looked to see if TRK had a better version of an existing BCC color. We picked 16 colors, our Sweet 16, and then I sent chips over to Mike for him to replicate the colors. The 16 became 12 and that dirty dozen made it to the BCC lineup.

quick aside..

As a kid (14-16 year old at the time), a friend of mine had an uncle who was a dentist. The uncle gave the nephew (my friend) the old x-ray vests that contained lead plates. We had the GREAT idea that we would take the lead, melt it in the un-ventilated basement, and create body armor for clay figures. we would then place the figures on the wood pile on the other side of the basement and shoot at with the pellet guns. once the armor was riddled with holes, we would re-melt it and form new armor. we also created copies of a local arcades tokens (they had 3 slots on each side) using the melted lead. it worked in some games, but not all.

Of course, we also did lots of model building in that basement with glue, model paint, etc...

Oh, and we also ground up rocket engines, black powder, firecrackers, and anything else that could explode.. and merged it into one plastic straw with a fuse in the middle (wax caps on each side). They were pretty cool.

But, yeah, I'm fine (I think), and we melted a lot of lead. ..

That reminds me of when i was a kid, we would throw asbestos on a bonfire to watch it crackle.

Fire, Purple and Tropicana Yellow... Yes, please.

If I were to make a 6-player roulette set using these colours, I would definitely choose: white, signal green, light turquoise, fire, lavender, and tropicana yellow
