******************************************************* here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/3224/griggers.htm

here are a couple marlowe quotes about red in FML:

"He had the eyes you never see, that you only read about. Violet eyes. Almost purple. Eyes like a girl, a lovely girl. His skin was soft as silk. Lightly reddened, but it would never tan. It was too delicate.His hair was that shade of red that glints with gold."
******
"He smiled a slow tired smile. His voice was soft, dreamy, so delicate for a big man that it was startling. It made me think of another soft-voiced big man I had strangely liked."
****** the quotes sound pretty convincing. the whole synario reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from god knows where:

"the devil can quote his purpose from the bible."

i ascribe to rene's "bullshit" theory.

and hey, everybody! just got back from our first weekend on the lake! hot damn! the season is here again! WAHOOOOO!!! the boat floats!
