Somewhere along the way I decided to title each of these True Colors portraits with the subject’s name and a verb. Examples include Joe Rides, Gordy Ponders, and Paula Sings.

But it’s getting harder to find the right verbs to accompany every post.

Tony, seen here with his favorite pipe wrench, works as a sprinkler fitter, so I considered titling this post, “Tony Sprinkles.”

Except Tony Sprinkles sounds like the nickname of a Mafia hitman from New Jersey. Or a guy who desperately needs to see a urologist.

Tony’s job involves installing pipes, so “Tony Pipes” would make perfect sense. Except I used that verb with my bagpipe-wielding neighbor, Dave.

“Tony Wrenches” sounds like he needs a chiropractor. “Tony Plumbs” might be good, but he’s a sprinkler fitter, not a plumber. There’s a difference.

So, at the risk of inviting wisecracks about Tony’s recent appearance at the pool wearing a Speedo, I settled on “Tony Fits.”

Got a better verb for Tony? Post it in the comments below. But don’t give me too much guff, or you may earn a visit from my trusted associate, Tony Sprinkles.
