Please Eat Us
For an orange, being prepared gracefully by a gourmet chef is the highest compliment.
The oranges in this picture were so anxious to be served in a gourmet meal that they took the initiative to attend culinary school. Now they all have bachelor's or associate's degrees in the culinary arts. They have yet to be eaten, though.
Inspired by a wonderful chef named Melissa.

Orangepulp toy #2: Missing Oranges
"Missing Oranges" is the second in the series of Orangepulp toys.
Several days ago, a man named Jay realized that he was missing 3 oranges. He asked everyone, "It's 9:19pm, do you KNOW where your oranges are!?!?!"
Since this issue is so important to our society, I have created this public service announcement for all. You can generate your own one at http://orangepulp.orangelabs.org/missing_oranges.html, complete with the actual time (I'm assuming in my time zone) and a random set of oranges.

Gift Wrap for Produce
Most department stores offer free gift wrapping for your gift purchases. But if you go to a supermarket's customer service desk and ask them to gift wrap your fresh oranges, most will turn you away.
If there is a supermarket owner out there who wants to begin offering free gift wrap for their items, I have created this neutral fruit pattern that would be great for fruity produce.

Orangepulp toy #1: oo on stripes
"Oo on stripes" is the beginning of a series of Orangepulp toys.
You can create your own randomly-striped random orange picture like this one. Go to http://orangepulp.orangelabs.org/oo_on_stripes.html and refresh the page to generate new pictures.
Let me know if you generate any nice ones.
Organic Chandelier
Inspired by beautiful crystal chandeliers in a crumpled catalog that happened to lie beneath their orange tree, these oranges decided to arrange themselves into a pulpy chandelier.
When the owner of the grove discovered the oranges in their chandelier formation, he carefully wrapped them up and brought them home. There, he replanted them in the dining room ceiling, where they now grow proudly.

Education Begins with Fruit
Parents, remember that fruit is an essential part of a fruity education. There are countless ways to bring sweet fruits into education; for example, one could use an orange abacus like the one pictured above.
Oranges in particular are essential. Fortunately for educators, no child is ever too young to learn about oranges. Babies and children are happiest when they are fruity.

Olar system
Scientists have made the startling discovery that our solar system is composed entirely of fruits. Because of this discovery, pomologists everywhere are petitioning the government to declare today a national holiday.
Furthermore, the solar system will now be referred to the "olar system" for reasons yet undisclosed to the public.
This rendering is not my own; it was created by a sweet artist-orange who means the world to me, and who happens to be especially pulpy.

Country Kitchen
This decoration was seen in the kitchen of an American country home. It serves as a reminder to count one's blessings and one's oranges every day.

The Stork Story
Once upon a time, storks brought babies to the homes of excited new parents. This tradition changed when the storks realized that oranges were more delightful to carry around.
Ever since then, mothers have brought babies into the world.

Parachutes Full of Fruit
Some countries do not have oranges. Because it is a pity that these poor countries are orangeless, brave oranges will parachute into these countries, live in the woods, and eventually spread their seeds.

Caught in a Bathtub
I caught this soap orange lurking on the side of a bathtub. There really are oranges everywhere these days.

Support Our Fruits
This magnet was spotted on the back of an SUV. "Support Our Fruits" refers to offering aid to the millions of oranges who fell from trees during the disastrous Florida hurricane of 2004.

Better Mornings with Oranges
Oranges can be bred as alarm clock casings. Of course, the gears and machinery of the clock still have to be added by the craftsman, but the basic structure can be grown organically.
An added benefit to the consumer is the pulpiness of the orange. The pulpiness serves as an added reminder not to throw down or forcefully hit the alarm clock in the morning. Having to clean up a pulpy smashed orange is an undesirable task, especially right after waking up.

Here are a few buttons that you can use for your websites or blogs. Feel free to use them however you want - it does not matter whether or not you link to this blog, and you do not have to credit me. They are a present for you.
Because of Sarah's suggestion, I've added text to the last button. Here's the edit:

Masterfruit
Two oranges: Priceless.
There are some things oranges can't buy. For everything else, there's Masterfruit.

Deep Seafruit
Oranges can swim underwater for long periods of time. Their leaves double as fins, and they exhale pulpy little bubbles.

Patterns
If oranges came in lots of patterns, you would be able to buy them at the grocery store in variety packs like this one.
