Without bothering to run the code I'd say a tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket.
Very close. The RGB values actually give away the colors (brown and yellow), and through string replacement and appending, the words `task` and `ticket` become `tasket` and `tisket`, respectively. Then their order is reversed when printed on the picture. In honor of the British bastards like Robert Cummings ( :-P ) I used a British version of the old nursery rhyme, which starts, "A tisket, a tasket, a brown and yellow basket."
Now what obscure corner of childhood poetry memories did that come from? It's easy to google... My god, Ella Fitzgerald? THE Ella Fitzgerald?? Yowsa!
Ha! Actually, Google is where I got it from, too. I wanted to do something a bit more involved, and as soon as I saw the first two lines of that nursery rhyme, I already had the vision in mind. However, I may be just a *bit* disturbed by your attraction to Ella Fitzgerald.... especially in her present state. Though if you've ever read her biography.... damn, what a tough lady!
Bemusedly, Paul
Glad you enjoyed it. If I may say so myself, I thought it was rather well done. I really enjoyed it, too.... so far, it was the most involved --- and actually worked when ran. /me takes a bow. -- Daniel P.
