TMI, brother... 
A Solar Black Hole

That's one big Blackberry, which is also not black. Damnit English conventions of colour naming and their surprising lack of adherence to basic photonic wavelength accuracy to their chosen definition!
You just blew out my transphasic metagenic framastat with that cacophony of technobabble!
Until somebody eats one.
Anything can be orbited, even a black hole. There is no object in the universe so massive that it cannot be orbited if you're far enough out from it.
What about Orson Welles?
If there were, we'd be getting sucked in as we speak.
I've read Dryson's posts in here, and maybe I'm silly, but I'm going to bite:
Dryson, are you trying to say that because the star will eventually become a black hole BUT because they both can cause temporal effects, their effective existence overlaps each other in some ways, so that there are observational/measurement scenarios under which they can be considered the same entity?
If so, we reach, but I'm not sure I understand why you're bringing it up. If not, then I still don't get what you're talking about. Try again a different way, maybe?

You call that intense? UY Scuti, with its mere 10 solar masses, doesn't even have enough gravity to prevent itself from being a supergiant at present. It's so big that it's surface gravity is lower than Earth's. It's the polar opposite of a black hole. If this were a black hole, Earth would be a vantablack hole.
Black holes are dense, UY Scuti is sparse. It has a fifth of the density of Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 82 km. It's less dense than what we consider space. To be a black hole with such immensely tiny density, it will have to compensate by being supermassive. Thousands of solar masses at least, if not millions. 10 would be outside the margin of error in measurement.
Eh, some people just set the bar really low.
Personally I think Dracula meets the definition of a black hole. He's dark, intense, you can't escape from him, and he sucks.
He swallows too.
And you know this ... how?
Never mind, I don't want to know. PLEASE.

Alas, unlike Dracula, that joke will never raise again from being slain so cruely.
