And at least the affair is with the avocado itself and not the color as it had been in the UK[1]... Of course now, an avocado bathroom will cost you 5-8000 pounds in resale value, so better spruce up the 70s chic before listing[2]. On the other hand, it apparently is making a retro comeback.

I'm sorry you got downvoted like that, but there are different flavors of offtopicness on HN and some of them are quite welcome. Whimsical tangents, particularly, that veer off in some unpredictable direction, can be quite good for intellectual curiosity, which is the main value of this site.

The kind of offtopic discussions we really want to avoid are the generic and predictable ones. This includes vapid comments and ideological/political flames.
