Thanks guys. I'm hoping to win the Nobel Prize for Literature this year. Do you think I'm in with a chance?
i have, believe it or not. lots of people including myself. its a fruit in the sense of being the fruiting body of the plant it grows on, (a plant related to the nightshade family which are mostly quite poisonous) which is also a pant that is not a tree, resulting in much quibbling among those who only consider the fruiting bodies of trees to be fruit. now as to oranges, which do grow on trees, although the can be dwarf trees and rather bush like if you keep chopping the tops off so they can't grow very tall, or something like that, at any rate there are dwarf varieties of fruit trees. but yes, the orange, imagined, floating alone in the velvet blackness of space, makes an excellent meditation focus, or so there are books on meditation that suggest this use.
Typically it is celery salt and seasoning, often something like montreal steak spice. It compliments the spice in the drink. Usually it is vodka, clamato juice, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish and pepper. A little more kick than a bloody Mary. Many places here make a signature one and add their own flairs to them.
Also not the only colour. It's a very integral word, likes to mingle. Orange. Constituent member of and variably 1/4 or 1/5 of the band Take That. Scientifically as well, if it was the only colour then yellow and red wouldn't exist therefore neither would orange. ORANGE IS NOT A PRIMARY COLOUR. Doesn't even make it in to the main harmonic modes of RGB or CMYK? The only use for the colour orange is for fruit or exotic clothing.
Orange is a secondary colour. When mixed with blue in equal proportions they make grey. If orange and blue of the same saturation are placed seamlessly side by side an optical illusion called a photism is produced. You will see small emanations of orange and blue floating out of from where the two colours meet,as if you had dropped LSD. The same is true for purple and yellow,and red and green. This scintillating effect can be seen in the paintings of Bridget Riley.
I think it's really courageous of the author to confront the "oranges are the only fruit" ideological camp so directly
Yes I agree. I think all great literature challenges conventions and gives us new insights into the world.
None Of The Above......I Feel SS Is A Normal Member Of Society.....Or Close Enough To It...... Cheers Glen.
Yes Bob's voice is like Marmite. You either love it or hate it. I do play a few chords and sing a bit. I haven't tried writing my own songs, maybe I should give it a go. As for Glen thinking I'm a normal member of society, he couldn't be further from the truth. But what's so great about normal anyway? And I find that people who call themselves normal are often deluding themselves.
