Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Those are obscure, dialectical, obsolete, outmoded, etc., etc. Certainly the author of that pretentious piece is technically correct, but for almost all intents and purposes the statement about no rhymes is correct.

Don't you forget florange ? An orange blooming flower.

(weird things right now . Board mutters.) Maybe it'll get through

Funny link, oh yeah ...

> (weird things right now . Board mutters.) Maybe it'll get through

Post deleted by BranShea

But something very interesting it was! This only came once in a lifetime.

look at that! scroll bars on individual posts -- no more "wide threads."

-joe friday

say what?

"edit" "delete post" shouldn't take more than about five to ten seconds per post.

And he forgot "norange" which is what the fruit should be called. Leave "Orange" to King Billy.

narrow up your window and watch what happens to Bran's long URL..

actually, it wouldn't do that for me in Safari. I shrank the width to as small as it would let me, and it just reduced the width of Bran's avatar space, and then gave me a scroll bar at the bottom of the window, not the post.

but I know of what you speak, so I'm cool.

looks like it's yaff! (yet another foxfire feature)

heh. well, my mouse scrolls both ways, so it's no problem anyway.

:¬ )

And you are so right! It shouldn't. Right now this deleting operation did not take more than five minutes for the whole lot.
This afternoon it was carnaval at this board. Sheets changed color. Graphics changed , complete lineless pages. Very interesting but dead slow. One post took 5 tries and half an hour. Just for the one! I really did not see me do this with ten posts and two PM'that even took more effort.

The link! the large link. It sticks out. True. It works with me just as if it did not stick out. Graphically it's not elegant, but thinking of the House of Orange I thought it could be useful for some people to have some old royal nicknames at hand in case they would have to entertain royalty.Some casual namedropping.

Let me know if you want the link off, it'll only take a sec.(now)

But it was rhyme and orange. It depends on how you pronounce it. If you put the accent on the second part of the word, oránge ( a Frenchy accent) it could be rhymed with Blanche. If you pronounced Blanche also a little bit the French way.

Bran, you didn't need to remove the link, tsuwm was commenting that the scroll bar was a good thing!

for links, try this:


I use the second example all the time. and have found that the first one is unnecessary, as the forumware will do it automagically.

Thanks , a useful thing to learn. Don't mind that deleted link.

I'll meet the Queen on my own. Maybe I'll get to before you will, Branny--she's coming to the Derby!

Queen Elizabeth II of England will become the first sitting British monarch to attend the most famous horse race in the colonies -- the Kentucky Derby.
Queen will attend the Derby
(Be warned, the newspaper page carries ads.)

I wish, I wish...I were her hat ! That would be the best position from where
to watch the spectacle.--


Pennyless, I really had to study this one. Nice pomme of orange.

Hey!

Out of this contrived conceit shalt thou leave me!

the air is getting pretty rarefied in here....

Unique up on it.

The tame way.

Why wouldn't these qualify: Storage, grunge, plunge, forage, cringe, etc etc

there's more to rhyming than sharing the last two letters, dale.

Last syllable

>Last syllable
yes, exACTly..

age, grunj, plunj, crinj, etc. don't rhyme with ornj

Jose Cuervo has a new line of flavored tequilas. They've named the orange flavored one:
Tequila Oranjo
My Spanish is almost non-existant but I do know that orange (fruit) in Spanish is naranja and orange (color) is anaranjado. Is "oranjo" legitimate or am I right to think it's cod-Spanish ala Taco Bell?

Tequila Oranjo

Well, they got the gender right. Lo tequila is neuter in Spanish in spite of its -a ending. Probably a way to insure trademarkability.

Oranjo must be Spanish for abomination.

Me parece pescado tambien.

I've heard some people pronouce orange /?ar@ndZ/ rhyming it with grunge /gr@ndZ/. In casual speech, I pronounce it /?arntS/.

FWIW, Mi Diccionario de Mejicanismos no tiene la palabra oranjo.

What other name could change to another this naturally?
( in this context )
Uncontrived coincidence? (pluralism?)

Anaranjado = another orange??

(Apologies to Anna)

"Door hinge".

End of saga.

War binge! The quest continues.

Hey music and pennyless, or pennyless music, or musical pennyless; you two can rhyme or-inge because you two yankees speak with a funny accent. Down south we speak proper. Orange rhymes with torange which is the proper name for an orange that is a tangerine.

Torange isn't in OneLook and so I'm assuming you're kidding, aren't you

dale, I'm truly amazed that you missed this.

-joe (I desuperpollicated) friday

tsu: Thank you for that link. However, the word doesn't merit much official support:
