You are extremely pale -- I used to get some tedious vampire jokes, how about you?

He's too cute to be a vampire.  ;D

Ummm...I like red so...Indian red sun?

But what are these meant to represent?

symbolism of hue

amerindian, mexican, north, meso and south american native, aztec, inca, mayan, all the tribes massacred by spanish and anglosaxon heritage from top to bottom of a wonderful continent

I pressed hard to find mascot connotations that would not be seen as derogatory, and the sterotype red indian (as opposed to India ) together with my admiration of them in that the setting sun red color and vibe befits an eg. apache more than a byzantine emperor, resulted in the mediocre expression "indian red sun"

Hah! Mel may be pale, but The Asmo is so pale, he's actually gray. And almost transparent.  ;D

Transparent would be useful.  I would use it to blend into my surroundings and sneak up on people.

But you couldn't see anything as your eyes would be transparent (in particular the retinas). In addition anything 'not you' would be visible e.g. the contents of your alimentary canal. Ewwwww!!!

Obviously I would invent a type of transparancy that involves letting me see and making anything that is touching me or inside me transparant as well.  Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat or wear any clothes if I wanted to sneak.

Oh man, I must be feeling randy today because this is the second thread in the last half hour that has made me think really dirty thoughts.  LMAO

There there Asmo.  We'll wrap you in scarves and pot holders and no one will see the contents of your alimentary canal.

Slightly off topic, but true story.  I did my first two years of college at CSU which is in the college town of Ft. Collins.  At that time (late 90's) there was a hot wing place called Cluck U that offered the "911 challenge" where you had to eat 6 of their 911 hot wings within a half an hour without drinking anything, and if you could, you would get your name and picture on the wall.  Local legend had it that they actually sprayed the wings with pepper spray.  You had to sign a waiver before you ate them.  It was sort of tradition that all of the freshman boys would, at some point, test their manhood by trying the challenge.  I went along with several of my male friends when they tried the challenge, and never saw anyone finish it.  My friend Beau seemingly lost his mind and ran out of the restaurant and was, like, drinking water in the street gutter and scraping his tongue with trash.  

My point being:
