00:00 Okay, let's level up.
00:05 Let's level up.
00:08 Level up.
00:11 Level up.
00:14 Level up.
00:16 Let's go back in time.
00:18 Let's go back in time to your own life.
00:20 You're five years old.
00:22 You get a box of color pencils from your parents.
00:24 Yay, you're happy with your color pencils.
00:26 But it turns out that you're using red more often than beige.
00:35 And that's sad for the beige.
00:39 Who recognizes these fingers?
00:42 I see some aging fingers.
00:45 I had a lot of empathic feelings towards beige.
00:51 So bad that I started doing things for beige.
00:55 You can't leave it as it is.
00:57 If you use the beige only when it has to be used,
00:59 then it's only for paths around a meadow.
01:03 But then I thought, I'll color things beige that aren't beige.
01:06 And preferably large areas.
01:08 Because if you make a large area beige,
01:10 you can also add some in between.
01:12 And the pencil sharpeners seem to like that very much.
01:15 So I was drawing St. Nicholas, for example.
01:18 And then you start with that triangle, that big triangle of the tabard.
01:22 I think that's a very good word.
01:25 The tabard.
01:27 It has a kind of pathfinder-like positivity.
01:32 I think it's a shame that the whole piece of clothing didn't make it.
01:36 So often in these situations, people say,
01:39 "What should I do now?"
01:40 "Your tabard, man!"
01:44 "I don't know which tabard."
01:45 "Your best tabard, John."
01:50 "Yeah, right?"
01:52 "Just go with your tabard,
01:54 and do some housework with your tabard."
01:58 "I think it's a bit boring."
02:00 "Just put your tabard on."
02:02 Anyway, that doesn't work at all.
02:04 But then the tabard of St. Nicholas,
02:06 completely beige.
02:07 Beige, beige, beige, beige.
02:09 Beige, beige, beige, beige.
02:11 And my mother said, "Pardin, the tabard of St. Nicholas is basically..."
02:14 "Yeah, I know. Never mind. Long story."
02:17 Completely beige.
