I haven’t posted in a while, still throwing all the time and such, just got busy when school started… Anyway, my question is pretty simple and maybe dumb, but why are triangles… Green? This has seriously been plaguing my thoughts since I first heard the term green triangles. ---

Well there are other triangles too. I believe red triangles are the “Fake” gts. But who knows? Maybe it’s for the same reason three of Weezer’s albums are identified by color. ---

Paul Escolar named a lot of his tricks with that same pattern (White Buddha, Red Clover, etc). Supposedly he and Spencer Berry found a picture online of a bunch of pills with designs on them, and so Paul got the names for those tricks from that picture. One of the designs was a green triangle. ---

Ha, not once did it ever occur to me that the name could be derived from ecstasy but now that i think about it, it certainly does sound like the name of a pill. ---
