Word For The Day, Thursday, May 12, 2005

Thursday, May 12, 2005

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. 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.

ZOIC

Adjective combining form
Pronunciation: Zoic
Etymology: [Greek] (zoicos) Of or pertaining to animals


1) Animal: having an animal mode of existence: animal life and action.
2) Of or relating to a (specified) geological era.

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 we’re writing.

Look, I don't mind when you call me a jackass, but this liberal thing is beyond the pale.

You must not have some required video program on your computer. I don't know which one it is, QuikTime or something. I can see some videos (including this one) and not others on my computer here at work, but I get no sound, which in the case of this item was not important. Sorry.

HD, why don't you post that hot pic of you in construction worker type garb? then we can accuse you and patton of trolling for women, by posting your pics on FR! LOL!

posting that was actually difficult - I had to figure out where my wespace was, how to ftp a picture up, how to link it, and then how to make the link work.

It took me an hour.

O course, Ryan could have done it in a minute...LOL

Too proud to ask for directions.

It must be something else. I don't know what I've got on this computer in the way of video programs, but I do know a lot of videos don't work for me here.

One of our favorite FReepers, DFU (doug from upland) was just on the Hannity program, pushing Sean to stay on top of the Peter Paul/Hildebeast/Rosen trial... DFU did a nice job of representing us FReeper crackpots. :-]

I right clicked on the video, it said it was Windows Media Player 10, version 10.00.00.3646. Maybe that or a later version is what you need to have on your computer for this to work.
