Word For The Day, Thurday, June 17, 2004
Thursday, June 17, 2004 | Slip 18

Posted on 06/17/2004 5:37:05 AM PDT by Slip18

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.

Folderol, also Folderal noun:
Pronunciation: Pronounced about three different ways. Take your pick.
Etymology: Probably fr. Latin

1) Impractical, unnecessary or excessive trimming of finery or effects: pretty, but flimsy or useless ornament : something that is unnecessary: trifle, gewgaw
2) A nonessential talk or action: piffle, nonsense

Someone has been messing with my ping list. I can't figure out how anyone got in there. Sorry, Bud, I didn't do it on purpose.

Just making them look indignantly at you is always good for a laugh.

She was a young saleslady, younger than I, and she truly looked as if her head was going to implode.
And, of course, I had to ham it up.
(My sense of humor gets the worst of me, often. more on the specifics on how in a second.)

She asked me to leave the store, of course I had to change back into my jeans first and step-daughter paid for her purchases while laughing at her 'insane' step-father, and I was summarily banned from the store.

I'm so allergic to Ivory. Get me even close to it, and I go into an attack. Cyber has to go down the soap aisles just for that reason. Can't even get near them.

"This post, and many of those by the author should be taken as pure freeperol."

A bit of alcohol wouldn't hurt, either.

I think you should go to the back of the classroom and write out "The Bill of Rights 20 times."

The other incident whereI had some young thing slither up next to me, young thing shoved between step-daughter and myself and started telling me all the wonderful things she could do with her physicality.
Best quote of that one, "And I'm much more fun than HER."
Step-daughter said that being my step-daughter was the best non-joke practical joke ever, that some people were just too 'stupid' to think that we could possibly be step-parent/daughter.
(To be fair, she was taller than I and didn't look like she was in the 'under 21' bracket)

So when this thing slithered near and assumed that we were boyfrined girlfriend, step-daughter wanted to commit massive bodily harm.
THIS time, however, I nailed the slitherer.
In all her talk of the wonderful carnal things she could do, the slitherer failed to mention one thing.
And I made mention of it much to the slitherer's horror.
And step-daughter, getting a case of the Eee-vil Inspiration steps in and looks DOWN at the slitherer and says:
"When you're done with her, can I have her."

After the slitherer ran off, I told step-daughter she was evil.
She swatted me on the arm and says, "Me?! I'm not the one who was singing a horrible song about [that]"
I'll explain '[that]'in a second.

Thanks, though some of them aren't work and family safe and thus must be toned down some for the forum.
They lose alot in the censoring, but I hope it's enough left to give asense of the humor had from most of it.

Yes, but then the Vet gave your Master those little pills you stick up you know where.

You get an A+ for making Subbie laugh.

I don't think anything like that would happen here in AZ for some reason. Well, maybe Tucson.

Yes, but in FReepmail.
I read the coroner's report, had to since the Captain of my NG unit claimed that I was lying so I needed the report to prove death.
And the story isn't complete without what happened.
