Okay, people! How many meanings can we stack into one word, and how much illustration into one noun? Dictionary.com has 33 separate definitions for the word green--the prize on this one will probably go to the person who manages to combine as many of these as possible into one noun. :)
a color between blue and yellow
inexperienced
environmentally sound
etc., etc., etc . . .

a pastor's kid
inexperienced in the ways of the world, envious of "all the other kids" who get to do "everything"...

My brain hurts. I'm sittin' this one out... having fun watching though.
it didn't mean much. :) i just left the "s" off the word "heads" in my official answer, and noticed the typo.
MONEY!
okay, let's judge, people. :) thanks for giving me a fun round to judge! Tyler--kudos on piling things on, but I think you're just a little bit stretched. :)
Kudos to Erin, for plugging their home city, a place which is indeed green in about five different directions.
But this time round, I'm going to go with . . .
Katherine Gunn and her seasick rookie on a Greenpeace cruise. That fictional volunteer has been making me laugh whenever I thought of him for three days. :)
