orange… Orange…. ORANGE!!!!!
Be still my beating heart!
As a two time University of Tennessee graduate (BS and MBA) and a GINORMOUS Tennessee Vols fan (yeah… I sing “Rocky Top” and I own orange and white shakers, and a gajillion TN Vols Shirts and I have orange ‘game day’ panties, and I know what to do when you hear “Smokey’s on the Prowl” announced over the PA system in the best college football stadium in world!!!) (and please don’t ask what stadium that is… it should be obvious).. where was I? OH.. yeah… I was elated to see that today’s Friday 5’s have to do with all things Orange. w00t!
Oh and dear readers…. I must share that only those of us who went to colleges where orange was an official color know how hard it is to have a college color that rhymes with nothing. Drunken cheers are soo much harder to make up and execute. *
Drunken College Student #1: “We’re the Tennessee Vols… The White and the Orange… We’ll Roll the Competition… and We’ll….” Shit.. what rhymes with orange?
Drunken College Student #2: ummm…. welll….
Drunken College Student #3: ahhh.. fuck it.
Drunken College Students 1, 2, & 3: <at visiting team> <chanting> “You Suck!”
* I am currently not at liberty to discuss the actuality of this example.
Enjoy the Friday 5’s!
What’s your favorite orange-colored food? OMG.. Tang! Or orange sherbet… or orange marmalade. Or that cheddar colored popcorn… it’s orange right (or is it more like a yellowy color) ?? I like alot of orange colored foods (hey… I’m eating carrots right now!!)
What’s the best way to drink orange juice? In a glass. A clean glass is preferable.. but you know.. sometimes you forget to load or start the dishwasher… Oh.. and neat. No ice for me please
Which candy’s orange-colored pieces taste best? The orange Skittle is my favorite orange flavored orange candy, but the Recess Pieces are orange and they are quite tasty too…
What are your feelings about orange soda? I heart Orange Sodas. I drank a ridiculous amount of Fanta while honeymooning in Belize (mostly orange Fanta). However, while state-side, I like my orange soda to be diet or “calorie free”.
When did you last wear an orange item of clothing? Really!?!? Is this question even necessary. Monday night was the opening game for the Tennessee Vols. Therefore Monday night would also be the last time I wore orange. However, it’s kinda an expected/adpoted/required practice in Knoxville (actually most of East Tennessee) that during college sport seasons (football, basketball, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, swimming, badminton, table tennis, frisbee golf, archery…. umm.. you get my point), you wear orange to work on Fridays. Today, I’m wearing green, but it’s an off week for us… so it doesn’t count.
