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.

TUCKERVerb

This word is pronounced “tuk er”

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy.
Silver bells hanging on a string,
She told me it was my ping a ling a ling.

Oh, my ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.
My ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.

And then mama took me took me to grammar school,
But I stopped off in the vestibue.
Every time that bell would ring,
Catch me playing with my ping a ling a ling.

Oh, my ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.
My ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.

Once I was climbing the garden wall.
I slipped and had a terrible fall.
I fell so hard I heard bells ring,
But held on to my ping a ling.

Oh, my ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.
My ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.

Once I was swimming across turtle KRIK,



Man, them snappers all around my feet.
Sure was hard swimming across that thing
With both hands holding my ping a ling.

Oh, my ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.
My ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.

This here so song, it ain't so sad.
The cutest little song you ever had.
Those of you who will not sing,
You must be playing with your own ping a ling.

Oh, my ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.
My ping a ling, my ping a ling,
I want you to play with my ping a ling.

Your ping a ling, your ping a ling,
We saw you playing with your ping a ling.
My ping a ling, everybody sing,
I want to play with my ping,
Everybody, my ping a ling,
Oh my ping a ling,
I want to play with my ping a ling.

Once I was swimming across turtle KRIK,

[xsmommy]

[Conspiracy Guy]

[hobbes1]

Sort of, but your ankles kept slipping from behind my ears, obscuring the view.

[Conspiracy Guy]

[Dutchgirl]

ARRRGH- Ear Worm!!!

Back at you!!

A baby fell out of the window,
You'd think that it's head would be split.
Good fortune was with it that morning.
It fell into a barrel of

SHHHaving Cream

Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen...

Morning! I've finished these invoices-now I've got to take them to the customers and (hopefully) get paid on at least two of them-

The 'Rats have thrown their tantrums
And they're all tuckered out
Today, they lack the energy
To do much more than pout

Some endured the inauguration-
And some went on a cruise
And some stayed home with the TV off
Just to avoid the news-

W won again, but these whiners
Can't accept that he did
So they just stamp their feet and cry
Like some bratty, spoiled kid

[martin_fierro]

Just damn, that IS cute.

[VRWCmember]

I have a sad story to tell you,
It may hurt your feelings a bit.
Last night I walked into the bathroom.
And stepped in a big pile of

SHHHaving Cream

Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen...

When I was in France with the Army,
One day I looked into my kit,
Expecting to find me a sandwich,
But the darn thing was loaded with

SHHHaving Cream

Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen...

I think I'll break up with my girlfriend,
Her antics are queer, I'll admit.
Each time I say "Darling I love you",
She tells me that I'm full of

SHHHaving Cream

Be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen...

[Texan5]

That's right-Monica did do Altoids, didn't she?

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

[Argh]

I can't say they look very happy to be here, but I know how they feel.

[Jaded]

Well, h*ll, I'm all tuckered out! It's bin ruff week, havin' t'werk four days and all! I cud shore use a rest!

[NeoCaveman]

i don't think that grimmy got the fine point of your intimation with regard to the altoids. wasn't that something we learned from Monica?

Si senora :-)

Good morning, Miss Slip:

---

I was beginning to edge
Close to dispair.
The time was late.
The classroom closed.
Did our teachers care?

The new classroom looks nice.
Candles swirl light into shadows.
Reflecting light on curved steel.

Lighter than air feather boas.
And glistening spiked leather.
Laura Earl's heart in the heather

One could almost hear Muttly pucker.
His mind soaring to the Heavens
From doldrums and tucker.

Fair Gabz moves around.
Her jaw just a' gaping.
Gasping at the many sturdy rolls.
For Robert's eventual duct-taping.

Dutchgirl and Texan's fingers slowly drift.
Over the Rack and intriguing rough hewn tables.
Eager not to cause a disturbance or rift.
Anxious to learn and use the power of words.
While de-constructing the Left's Tower Of Babel.

Jack.
