This is the second of the color-themed sample giveaways in honor of the third anniversary of The Well-Appointed Desk. Today’s giveaway is all about orange. Featured in this assortment is an “On The Road” Penguin Books notebook, a pocket-sized Rhodia pad, a set of three Field Notes Expedition notebooks, and a Palomino Blackwing Pearl. Some items may have been used for writing tests and review but are practically new (or brand new in some cases). More items may be added.
To enter, just leave a comment and try to rhyme with the word “orange”. Easy-peasy, citrus peely.
FINE PRINT: All entries must be submitted by 10pm CST on Wednesday, June 19, 2013. All entries must be submitted at wellappointeddesk.com, not Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook, okay? Winner will be announced on Thursday. Winner will be selected by random number generator from entries that played by the rules (see above). Please include your email address in the comment form so that I can contact you if you win. I will not save email addresses or sell them to anyone — pinky swear. Shipping via USPS first class is covered. Additional shipping options or insurance will have to be paid by the winner. We are generous but we’re not made of money.
(Shoutout to JetPens and all the other nice folks who’ve given me samples to review over the years)
SPORANGE! Gotta loves spores!
I like orange,
not green like a sporange.
(I had to google for that)
I’d love some orange office supplies!
If I win, you can ask “orange you glad?”. That’s supposed to be “aren’t you.”. I’d be thrilled to receive the orange goodies, despite the weak pun!
Trying to rhyme something with orange
In public
Makes me crarnge,
I mean:
Cringe.
(Don’t mind me.)
Orange is one of my favorite colors!
I love the flowers of orange
Each and every one of their spores and
Petals and leaves.
Happy Third Anniversary! Thanks for reviewing all these amazing writing implements for us!
ummm I couldn’t really think of anything that rhyme with ‘orange’ so how about a joke!?
Q: What can a whole orange do that half an orange can never do?
A: Look round!
LOL – anyway Happy Anniversary and thanks for the awesome giveaway! so…I looked it up and orange is really hard to rhyme and the only word is sporange.
I’m feeling sick, my throat is orange
I help myself to a lozenge
Morange! The word you say when you want more orange but you don’t have time to say all three syllables.
Si on aime le couleur orange, c’est bon de partager ce qu’on mange.
Orange supplies would brighten the desk
If I win, I’ll celebrate with some orange porridge.
Ornery orange orangutans order horrible hors d’oeuvres.
Alliteration is a kind of rhyming, right? Happy anniversary, either way!
Can’t peel your orange
And you’ve got no wrench?
Oh, you pour wench.
An orage in a teacup, you say?
Eat your porridge and get on with your day.
What rhymes with orange? Eminem will answer for me…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRX8sXdCkfo
If I had a wheel of orange,
also orange would be the flange.
If I had a wheel of green,
my car would be so very keen.
If I had a wheel of red,
I would have a foot of lead.
If I had a wheel of blue,
You would scream and yell, “Yoohoo!”
With my wheels each a different color,
I wonder if my car would hover.
Orange is one of the most difficult words to find another word that rhymes! How about “sporange”….”orange you glad you thought of that?”
I’m becoming deranged as I arrange words to rhyme with orange.
EMINEM says: “If you enunciate it and make it more than one syllable — or-ange — you could say, ‘I put my or-ange four-inch door hinge in stor-age and ate por-ridge with Ge-orge.’”
ut I’d rather speak to Sir Gorringe about the sporange on his ferns. He lives on Blorenge hill. I can take him an orange basket, filled with oranges and we can make orange juice while using the fabulous orange office goodies you are giving away. 🙂
But – not ut –sorry
Strange is the only thing I could think of that rhymes with orange…
I have amoreange for an orange.
Orange kinda sounds like a British person saying “door hinge,” right? Right? I know, that was a stretch. I’ll be away from the internet for awhile if anyone needs me…
Orange, Morange, porange, norange, Ok that’s enough. So crazy!
Owing to the the fact that orange = red + yellow, I submit the following:
I’m just a guy
An ordinary fellow
Who got it in his head
To rhyme something with red
And also the color yellow.
Loophole 101 🙂
Failing, but can I win anyway?
Kaylee’s FAVORITE color. A child of orange, want’s to paint her room orange. I’m trying to talk her out of that one. She’d never fall asleep in there.
I once thought of having corange with my orange, but alas we lacked for forange.
Paint tan car orange
To take it out of the bore range.
I would have to have a lot of courange to try and rhyme something with orange
I would have to have a lot of courange to rhyme something with orange.
Orange sporange lozenge – who cares! Does orange rhyme with orange? I like orange.
Playing my banja and it’s naranja!
Guess I was feeling orange today too! http://26symbols.com/2013/402/
Why was the guy fired from the Orange Juice factory?
Because he couldn’t concentrate!
Orange doesn’t rhyme with anything, but if I had cool notebooks, I could brainstorm better to figure it out. maybe.
or just come up with jokes. just as useful.
Orange, orange, vous avez dit orange ???
look at that orange door hinge!
Orange is awesome–nothing has to rhyme with it because it’s so unique and wonderful! Please enter me! 🙂
If you say it as two syllables, “or-inge” then there’s plenty of things that rhyme with it.
Orange four-inch door hinge porridge.
Though it doesn’t make sense, it works, verbally anyway. 🙂
Thanks for these awesome giveaways!
Do half-rhymes count? Lozenge then.

It’ll match my horrid orange four-inch toenails.
A poem about Orange:
Orange is a bright color
Combine red and yellow
Its so beautiful and mellow
And its also a flavor of jello
Orange pens take many my dollar!!
Lol!!
The best i can do…
Katie
Haha! I was going to say sporange, but just to be funny.
Orange – schmorange.
Doesn’t look like my comment went through before, so here goes (my apologies if this ends up posting twice – not my intention).
Those luminous orange pencils
Could help me draw lines more tangential,
Or write prose as vast as the sea.
So for now I will hope
You’ll bequeath this poor dope
With notebooks of Vitamin C.
Love this giveaway…it’s perfect for summer!!!
I’d love to try the Palomino Blackwing. Even if it’s not orange 😀
My favorite color.
To quote Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel:
Oranges poranges, who says,
oranges poranges, who says,
oranges poranges, who says?
there ain’t no rhyme for oranges!
Oh, no! A rhyme with orange? That is a challenge. I cringe to think of it. Orange is a strange word. I scavenge my dictionary, rearrange letters, no luck. Now I won’t stop thinking about it! I must expunge “orange” from my mind!
what a fool, I didn’t follow the rhyming rule. By George! My face is orange!
(bad…. I know)
Borange?
Only sporange…I need to get my hot little hands on that notebook and those pencils to finish the rhyme!! 🙂 🙂
These lovely supplies are orange
I won’t put them in storage?
::cringe::
Yeah, I barely tried, but I love office supplies.
Challenge. A suitable word for this ‘task’! 😀
Wouldn’t it depend on how one pronounces orange? Or-unge, are-unge, arnge? Not that it makes it much easier.
Orange porridge popped in my mind first, though it’s a bit of a stretch.
Orange office supplies seem borange to some, but I find them exciting.

But the “orange you glad” pun…it never gets old!

I hope you will settle for a knock, knock joke instead.

You had me at “field notes”. Not going to spend any $ on them, but is definitely like to try them! That and the pencil 🙂
The internet claims that orange only rhyms with sporange, a term for a part of a fern plant. 🙂

Let’s arrange to send an orange to the strange(r) like me.
Orange you supposed to give us a word that at least google has a rhymer for?
In the Southern US some people say “urn-ge”
Most Northern folks think that those people are sturnge
I think poor-spoke Rednecks are folks we should purnge
And to standard, real English we all should returnge.
Orange sporange porridge. What the heck is everybody talking about? Sounds like a Dr Suess book.
In order to enjoy a sweet orange ale,
I took an ever so brief detour in jail.
What I was doing there is anyone’s guess;
Mostly enabling this rhyme, I confess.

on the ground near Stonehenge

Orange meet the door hinge , door hinge meet orange
Banana glad I didn’t say orange!? Hmm, is this thing on? cough, cough…tough crowd…I’ll need an orange lozenge to clear my throat after that bad joke…And that’s all for me, goodnight everybody!

Some colours can be pleasing,
Like a bright sunny or-ringe.

But puce must be on the fringe.
I dropped my orange on an indoor sporange as I was reading this delightful post.
