I was walking behind this milf in the store and she was so behind-fine, then she turned around and I regretted ever checking her out.

behind the orange curtain 

This term is used by people in Los Angeles, when referring to travelling within Orange County. This refers to the idea that people in Orange County know nothing about what's going on in Los Angeles or even the world, and only are concerned with local affairs.

Comes from the term for Russia "behind the iron curtain" from the cold war era.
Man, I had to go "behind the orange curtain" the other day to visit my cousins. They still think rockabilly is cool!

How come you missed the big concert? Oh man....since I moved behind the Orange curtain, there's no way for me to keep up with what's going on.....there's no LA Weekly or anything!

2) get discovered, get a record deal, go triple-platinum, have 3 number one videos on "TRL," and make mad cash money;
3) develop a drug addiction or gambling habit or drinking problem and loose everything;
4) hit rock bottom; and
5) enter re-hab or find Jesus.
