Its not just me then.
I favor black tungsten normally but this year with a few exceptions its being ignored. Golds something i dont like, a bit "fancy", it must be the Calvinist in me

A big fat guy tied that one then ran away

Is anyone catching on pink bugs yet, i normally wait 'till after a heavy frost but given they seem to be on "bling" thought i maybe give them a chuck.
