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.
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. Im 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.

I guess we could say Hobbes1 is a tigerzoic humanoid. So sorry, Tiger. It was a low fast ball.
You can use any root word for the zoic. Just make it sound like we know what were writing.
Strange suffix-
If Rosen has has a brain at all
He will go ahead and name
All the many cover-ups
That are hiding the Clinton shame
Tell where all the bodies are buried
And then he'll be heroic
Although he'll be in danger
From Hillary the blackwidowzoic
Now, I've got to go make some money by painting a customer's dining room a hideous color-I'll come to class later...
Hi Miss Slippy.
Is he wearing his tutu again. Today is parent/teacher day? What will I say?
ummmmmmm. coffee.
Shaggy, he of the green T-shirt, always signifies the finding of clues by exclaiming "ZOIC". I think it has something to do with the caninic nature of his best friend, Mr. Doo.
The quadrophenia will go away with time. Cuatrozoic disease does not a last very long.
Must have caffiene.
Have you seen the zoicish behaviors displayed at the MJ circus trial?
A++++ for you, Patton.

I'm trying to find the grade book, and it's missing again. Anyone know who has the danged thing?
Happy fingerpainting.
Good morning, Vastie! How are you feeling today?

For some reason, the song "simple kind of life" popped into my head, only this time as "Zoic kind of life.."
"For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in fur
And all I wanted was the simple things
A zoic kind of life
And all I needed was a full moon
So I could be a wolf "
Not very good, but it's what popped into my head..
*sigh*
Jaded, I do my best not to see anything on MJ. If there's a zoic, it's a Jacksonzoic. He's preternatural.
Happy 80th Birthday to Yogi Berra.
