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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....


>

Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs as always. Subbie is also here for THREE days. So you better be nice, otherwise you get coal on your face. 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.

TUCKER
Verb

This word is pronounced “tuk er”

Etymology: I don’t know.


Verb:

1) Exhaust, fatigue.

I know what naughty words rhyme with this one, so be careful!

Hillary's tuckered me out by going on and on and on about religion and God. TOO MANY REFERENCES TO GOD! Why doesn't she shut up? When is she going to shut up? Can't someone make her stop? "I have always prayed", she claims. Can't she understand how hard the rest of us are praying she'll go hide under a rock somewhere? Does she have any concept how completely full of crap she is, and that she's giving crap a bad name? Etc.

Yes, she is completely full of crap, but she's practicing a new "faith"... "Strategic Religion".

Here's a baseball quiz for you.

Three elderly ladies are excited about seeing their first baseball game. They smuggle a bottle of Jack Daniels into the ballpark. The game is real exciting, and they are enjoying themselves immensely mixing the Jack Daniel's with soft drinks. After a while, they realize that the bottle is almost gone and the game still has several innings to go. Based on the given information, what inning is it and how many players are on base?


Think!


Think some more!!


Answer:

It's the bottom of the fifth and the bags are loaded!



(Well, I just said it was a baseball quiz; I didn't say it was a good one.)

There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he could get, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession.

One Sunday was a picture perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right. The preacher was in a quandary as to what to do, and shortly the urge to play golf overcame him.

He called an assistant to tell him that he was sick and could not do church, packed the car up, and drove three hours to a golf course where no one would recognize him. Happily, he began to play the course.

An angel up above was watching the preacher and was quite perturbed. He went to God and said, "Look at the preacher. He should be punished for what he is doing."

God nodded in agreement.

The preacher teed up on the first hole. He swung at the ball, and it sailed effortlessly through the air and landed right in the cup three hundred and fifty yards away (as they say in basketball, nothing but net). A picture perfect hole-in-one. He was amazed and excited.

The angel was a little shocked. He turned to God and said, "Begging Your pardon, but I thought you were going to punish him."

God smiled. "Think about it -- who can he tell?"

There was a similar, even lamer old classical music one that the joke teller could drag out for a long time. The orchestra was playing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, the last movement. There's a long section where the bass viol players have nothing to do. (That part's not true, the basses are vital through much of it). So the bass players tie up their scores in little coloured ribbons, head across the street to the bar and get plastered. The conductor's upset towards the end of the symphony when he needs those players because

the scores tied and the basses are loaded in the bottom of the Ninth...

Sorry about that.

Although I never faked an illness, there were a few occasions when I stood up from my desk in the middle of the morning and announced that I was leaving.... because I could hear a golf course calling my name.

No one ever said a word.

I'm glad y'all enjoyed the pictures of Husky Girl and Kitty boy. For the record, Husky girl is letting Kitty boy share her dog food-she was raised from puppyhood with our old persian who taught her that cats rule, so it is perfectly normal to her for a cat to be sticking it's face in her bowl. Kitty boy's food bowl is in the utility room in a corner too small for the dog so she can't get his food, but she has hated cat food ever since she ate some and it made her sick-too rich, I think. If a neighbor comes to the door, Husky girl raises hell barking and howling-she has also taken a dislike to a neighbor I know for a fact is not an animal lover and confronted him, barking when he got closer to me than she liked-but she will let a much smaller cat chase her, sleep with her and eat some of her food.

Kitty boy isn't an exorcistcat-he just likes to sleep on his back, and he has gotten a bit plump since we've had him and he has food to eat all the time and spends hours in the evening after supper in his basket in the kitchen watching Animal Planet. He may be psycho, though-he chases the dog around the house.
