Orange.

Tangerine.

Clementine.

Satsuma.

Mandarin.

Tangelo.

Kumquat.

Minneola.

Ugli.

I think that the English language contains more words for describing and distinguishing different types of small orange citrus fruits than it does for describing and distinguishing different types of love...

Just saw your music choice. Bad, bad, BAD pun! Congratulations!

Why thank you, my dear! *grins evilly* From you, I take that as high praise, indeed!

I will confess to copying myself here. A few days ago, when our fruit bowl was full of clementines, I took one out, held it in my hand at arm's length -- a la an "Alas, poor Yorick" speech -- and started serenading it thusly! ;-)

So I may not be original here... but at least I am copying a source that I admire and respect greatly! Heh...
