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.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

Why is it I can never get the blue font on the second word? It is driving me CRAZY!
I'm afraid of the pics I might get if I did a google search on "catfight" and "green jello", but thank you for the mental image that conjured.
Just giving credit where it's due. I am having lots of fun with the terrorist master ming here.
So, Hobbes and DubyaismyPresident actup, you all get plowed, and I'm not invited?!?!
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
LOL
It's the name of a Race Horse I once owned... ; )
Well, that's a good thing.
I have keyboard keys stuffed up my nose.
Am I missing something? Is this a real cruise or a fantasy cruise?
Huh?
What?
What's up?
Ugh.
Coffee.
(Robt mumbles a bit. Has cold, can't tell if Miss Teach used her regular bath oil, or is this some newsense she's using to get the croquettes all hot and botherd?)
Robt is amazed!
Be glad you didn't surf Google for green jello and cat fight. I did, thank you ever so much.
Hey, I've got chain gangs if you so desire. The handcuffs and legcuffs are when the Croqs just get out of line, and I have to put them in the back of the class. That way they don't disrupt the whole class.
Congratulations!
(How's the mommy doing?)
Why don't I believe you?
Are you sharing Dutchgirl's and my cold? You really should use tissue, though. Keyboards are hard on the nose.
Yes, with a cup of coffee as I pore over reports.
(Hopefully not on them...)
We do go off the ship for amusements such as archeological visits, things like that.
G'morning Subbie.
Did someone say Green Jello???
Green Jello - Three Little Pigs
(Spoken)
Why don't you,
sit right back,
and I,
I may tell you,
a tale.
A tale of three,
little pigs,
and a BIG, BAD, WOLFFF.
Well the first little piggy, well he was kinda hip.
He spent most of his days, just a dreamin of the city.
And then one day, he bought a guitar.
He moved to Hollywood, to become a star.
But, living on the farm, he knew nothing of the city.
Built his house out of straw, what a pity.
And then one day, jammin on some chords,
along came the wolf, knocking on his door.
(Chorus)
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Well I'm huffin, I'm puffin, I'll blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin and a puffin and I'll blow your house in!!!

Now you get yourself a cup of decaf tea. Orange, lemon or cranberry. Heat it up in the microwave for one and a half minutes. Add a squirt of lemon. Then add as much honey as you like sweetness. Then pour in a jigger or two of bourbon or brandy.
By tomorrow, you'll be feeling a lot better. We don't need our Cook to be ill, too.
Got somebody's cold.
Dunno whose.
Had to huff the vaporub to be able to breathe.
