Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

Poor Brooks Orpik is getting pilloried for his hit on Olli Maatta. He is not a dirty player and while the suspension might be merited, no need to act like he's fricking Matt Cooke. No pushing at the door please!

good morning.

[Robert DeLong]

Can you say pillory Hillary? I knew that you could.

Donald Trump for President will make that happen.

[tioga]

Morning.

A+++

morning, Ti.

[Red Badger]

Pillory
Hillary
Because of her
Chicanery..............

[xsmommy]

it’s such a natural rhyme isn’t it? LOL! A+++

[Paine in the Neck]

Pillory for Hillary!

[xsmommy]

like I said, a natural rhyme! LOL! A+++

[VRWCmember]

What better use for a pillory
Than a long-term attachment to Hillary
And while we are at it
It seems automatic
To also include Bill for free.

[xsmommy]

excellent! A++++ a two-fer!

[moovova]

I keep my guns in the armory and my meds in the pillory.

[SoothingDave]

I agree. He’s not a goon, but that was goonish. The punishment fits the crime.

[publius911]

Pillory Hillary!

Did I get it right?

[struggle]

Pillory was one of my class’s vocab words last week.

[xsmommy]

LOL! good one! A++++

[xsmommy]

it doesn’t appear to be evenhanded though. as someone pointed out, a flyer nearly crushed the vertebrae of Dmitri orlov by shoving him headfirst into the boards and he got only one.

[xsmommy]

yes you did, put that on a sign!LOL! A+++

[xsmommy]

I didn’t copy from you, I swear! ; )
