Practice makes perfect.....post on....
>> Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with >> WFTD.
Brian Williams brought low by overweening hubris. Lordy, could the man even tell the straight truth about ANYTHING?
Just in time for Valentine’s Day => “I may be overweening, but I’ll never be over you”.
A++++ excellent!
that’s great~!
A+++ i don’t know if the kardashians can make you think you’re a woman in a man’s body though.
print that one up for your sweetie! A+++
well it appears that one ethnicity is doing all the sewing!
ton’s of online options, unless you are of the BUY LOCAL bent, i don’t see the need to restrict yourself.
Checked out all the local malls and shops. Advised that most MOTBs find their dress at the Syracuse mall. Nordstrom’s has a discount outlet that carries dresses. Another month up here before spring and summer styles are out, though.
Overweening is one of the twenty words on my students’ vocab list for this week.
FAAAAA-blous!
FOX is about to cover a local murder trial. He’s being tried for the third time for the murder of his wife on 9/11/01.
Brian Williams is another in a long list of Olberweenies at xxNBC
whose self importance always out-shines the news of the day…
He prances across the stage
To his precious teleprompter
Mounted on his high horse
That overweening poser.
His Muslim roots and pride do show
No Christian humility evident
HE won election and reelection
Making him the White House resident.
When strutting in his boudoir
Does the prissy eunuch ponder
What it might be like
To have a set........I wonder.
Then we are in sync! A+++
A+++ is he still on the air anywhere?
Fantastic! A++++
The overweening arrogance of anti-Russian and ant-Serbian propagandists—both Left and Right—is intolerable, and is leading us to an unnecessary war!!!!
A+++ hope not!
Thanks!
On another subject: The Bruce Jenner story is truly tragic. He is an Olympic Champion. and has been a hero to many. He has been a husband (several times over) and is a father and stepfather. An he has achieved a mature age.
But then he listened to Satan’s siren song: “ Ew! You’re really a woman born in a man’s body.”
Even without the knowledge of Orthodox spiritual warfare, he should have just said, “Bullsh!t!!!! Why am I thinking such nonsense, anyway?” But he listened, and took it to heart, and has started acting on it.
Then came the pro-”gay” commentators and media, lauding him for his “courage”. But most of us know enough to say “Bullsh!t!!!!” to that, too!!!!
