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".

You wouldn't have heard of Silver Lake. I think pond would be a better description. It is somewhere in the woods behind the hospital. Just a spot in the woods, really, where people would take their booze to drink.

I think I'm actually going to go to my 20th reunion this October. Haven't been back for any of the preceeding ones.

Prepare to have your mind blown.

I went to one of mine at BHCC and couldn't believe how fat & bald some of us had gotten.

I thought, "All the old cliches are true!"

Well, it had to be the Physics class, as nobody actually on a sports team would have had anything to do with me.

I missed my 10th reunion because it was on/around my due date for my #1 son.

My favorite sign mix-up is one my sister showed us in the Weird NJ magazine(I know, it's redundant) she brought to Texas. Someone removed the first G from the ad outside for Black Angus Burgers.

Black Angus Burgers.

LOL!

We had one of those restaurants across from where we used to live, and someone pulled the same stunt with their neon sign.

It took 'em a couple of weeks to fix it. I laughed every time I passed by.

The kids roar now every time they see an ad for those burgers. Backyard Burgers has no idea.

I remember the Elke Sommer stir. My neighbors belonged to BHCC and ran off trying to get a gander at her.

Their fireworks sucked. We used to be able to watch them from Hilltop Hose.

We are so immature. My sister also brought some "whistles" for my dad's 75th that sounded like people passing wind. If it wasn't for low class, she'd have no class at all. ;)
