Color Meme: The Challenge
The idea is simple... If you ask, I'll give you a color. Post ten things that you like about that color in your LJ. I asked, and the gantlet was thrown: gospog said: "Ah Doctor, you are a man who enjoys a challenge, yes?
I give you...ORANGE!"
I give you...ORANGE!"
- Clementines, possibly the tastiest fruit ever. I mean, seriously, I cannot stop eating those things when we have them.
- Cheese is often colored orange with annato, but the process became popular due to the faint orange tinge of the original cheeses produced in the Cheddar region of England - an orange brought about by high levels of beta-carotene in the cows' diet. And Cheddar is my favorite cheese.
- Orange is the color of the box that Do-si-dos come in. (They're my second favorite Girl Scout cookie, but Tom didn't give me green.)
- OK. No more food, I'm getting hungry. How about this: Orange has no English words that rhyme with it. "Door-hinge" does not count.
- Argos is a sort of reddish orange. (Technically, "red fawn")
- Oh, man. I know I said no more food but: orange sherbet. I'm glad its cold enough that I'm not tempted to go get some.
- Street cones. This is a short-term, one-time thing because I am going to hate them in a about a month, but this year seeing the safety cones means that snowmageddon is over and spring is finally here.
- Kimagure Orange Road. I remember watching ancient VHS tapes of this show, fansubbed and copied down for generations.
- Ubuntu is (for now) my Linux distro of choice. It's got an orange thing going on.
- The Orange Box contained one of the greatest video games of all time: Portal.
- SPECIAL BONUS ITEM: The cover of my battered copy of Cyrano de Bergerac. I'm not sure how long it took me to realize that the giant orange triangle and curvy black thing wasn't just some kind of abstract pattern.
