For the love of God, will someone please think of the children!!! Hold on, my dog’s barking, I have to get my AK-47 out from under the bed. OK, just my terrorist neighbor with his snowblower. Sure looks suspicious to me, he looks like he might have some Muslim friends. I bet he knows at least a couple basketball players. Wait a minute, I hear a plane flying over … get the children to the shelter!!! ---

And what is all this Orange malarkey anyway? I don’t care that King Billy beat James II at the Boyne, I’ve got better things to do than annoy Catholics by shashing through their neighborhoods like a great stuffed sausage in a sash. ---

Sweet Jaysus, that was supposed to read “Sasahing through their neighborhoods.” ---

I dyed my hair orange. Hey, it was time to re-up the henna, whatcanIsay? In my case I won’t be going to the USofA for a pre-Xmas Target assault. Usually, it’s just my car trunk that gets the rectal exam by the Border Patrol. At orange, it’ll be me! ---

Orange you glad I didn’t say red? I would have preferred if we’d gone from Suck to Blow. ---

Now that we’re Orange, please don’t wear Green. Especially not a bright green like a kelly green. At least not if you have any fashion sense. ---

You may want to celebrate in your Orangeman ways, but I feel that this is the time to support the Alliance Party, the only party that’s neither loyalist nor republican! (Yes, I am trying to whoosh you, but the N.I Dopers will get it.) ---
