Why are old pulp mills so colorful?

[m-jean03]

Does anyone know why? I mean, I have a feeling industrial barons aren't too concerned with their mills and factories being "pretty". :shrug:

Anyway, I've taken the train down the coast a few times, and have
always wondered about this. Any insight? Thanks.

1. They are prettying themselves up for you.

It's all about you.

2. Thanks, but I'm not looking to hear from the "peanut gallery"

on this one... :D

[Whitacre D_WI]

3. What is this talk of peanuts?

I am the Crackerjack gallery, dammit!

Watch that foot!

[m-jean03]

10. Ha, surely you jest...

I can see plainly that's no foot, that's only like 2-3 inches!! ;-)

11. It's cold out.

[m-jean03]

13. Maybe you should put some clothes on?

Just a thought. I mean, you're beautiful and everything, don't get me wrong...

Then you don't need books and magazines.

9. Ha! Caught your edit.

Yeah, I'm the only one I know who is so captivated by the dirty things. :shrug:

12. Sorry would have something funny to say but

I am off tonight, my brain is on a holiday.

It is like this long gigantic brain fart.

7. many decades ago, I used to drive through Franklin, VA ...

...the smell was colorful...

[m-jean03]

8. We have an ancient (now basically defunct) G-P pulp mill in my town

I know that smell well! Pee-eww. The smell of my childhood! Not a problem anymore though, since most operations have closed down there.
