Orange Juice!

[4X4]

Probably the strangest question I've ever asked on CP, but here goes...

I bought two boxes of mandarins on the weekend. I've eaten a whole box already this week and now I'm all oranged out. My will to peel is gone, though I am currently considering peeling the whole other box right now and making orange juice.

Question: does home made OJ taste good, or should I just chuck a full box of oranges. I'm reluctant to look at them in my fridge another day (unless it's for a good reason).

Alternative uses for these oranges are:

- let them freeze on my balcony overnight and then use them as ammunition against left-laners

- inject them with vodka and eat them anyway

- leave them in the crisper and take daily pictures of them for a couple of months, then make a youtube slideshow video demonstrating how mold grows

- hold on to them for two weeks and then wrap them up and give them to my sister for xmas

- learn to juggle

- try to return them to Safeway

Any other ideas would be very helpful. I've already decided that I'm going to put one in the microwave on high until it explodes. The way I figure, it'll be easy to clean. Like a Mr. Clean bomb going off in the microwave.

Leave the box alone. Cockroach food is not human food.

They're only 5 days old... Still very edible, just not to me.

I don't think mandarins make very good OJ.

I like the vodka or left laners suggestions.

Yah, I'm not exactly stoked to drink a bunch of OJ after all the oranges I've consumed. I agree.

Do oranges stink when left out for a long time? I could always bring them to various friends' places and hide them behind couches and stuff...?

Juice them.

Just throw them all in the blender then blend and strain. Maybe you could find a way to bind the strained solids into balls and use them on the left-laners.

Tape them under your coworkers desks. It also works with hot dogs......but I don't know anything about that......

Play a little orange baseball in your backyard.

Lol. How about unscrewing some computers and sticking a couple in there? 3 months later, the tech guy is gagging... Two birds stoned at once! Too bad I don't work in an office...

I also wouldn't know anything about replacing all of managements phone receivers with bananas after a production meeting when an irrate manager suggested a monkey could run our new press...........distinct advantages to working the evening shift sometimes.....

Not to be a d&^kwad but maybe someone downtown would like to eat them?

Although I do like the idea of taping them under co-workers desks.

I had always liked the idea of pouring a litre of milk into someone's car door. That would suck...eventually.

Actually as i found out last January it only takes 1 hot sunny day down in California for it to suck alot.

Bring it to work? Share the orange wealth?

What would suck more, full fat homo milk or no fat skim milk?

But I don't really work with anyone. Very small company. I deal with alot of people, but not in an environment where I could give away oranges. Lol. I could bring oranges to my construction sites and give them away to trades. Or to the accountant's office. "Hey man, I brought you an orange...." "Uh, thanks..."

Yeah. Not really gonna work. Same as bringing them to a homeless shelter. Something tells me they'll be rejected.

[NSFL]

That's too bad. Seems like such a waste.

[AvsJerk]

Use them as holiday air fresheners. My grammy used to stick spiky cloves in oranges and just let them dry out in a bowl...they smelled pretty damned good if I remember correctly.

[4X4]

Well. The microwave didn't explode the orange. It just sizzled for 3 or 4 minutes before I pulled the plug. Looks like I'm either making OJ or else I'm hitting the liquor store tomorrow for a mickey of vodka and then hitting the buy/sell forum for a syringe. Unless there are better ideas...
