Tuesday, May 02, 2006, STALEMATE
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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
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.
Pronunciation: 'stA(&)l-"mAt Function: noun
Etymology: obsolete English stale stalemate + English 1mate
1 : a drawing position in chess in which only the king can move and although not in check can move only into check 2 : a drawn contest : DEADLOCK; also : the state of being stalemated
We just got a new Cheesecake Factory in Southlake (it's only about a 15 minute drive for me)!! The White Chocolate Caramel Latte Cheesecake is INCREDIBLE!
I used to go to the Cheesecake Factory once a month with my girl friend in CA. The food is great, too. We took my MIL to the one around here. She was very impressed. Got her a whole cheesecake to go.
We had a pasta dish that had chicken, mushroom, garlic and onions and bowtie pasta in a creamy white wine sauce. It was very good. Their servings are big enough to share among two or three people, but I want the whole slice of cheesecake to myself.
All this talk about food's making me hungry....
Our courts are full of douchebags put there by 40 years of mostly Liberal rule.
Solamente tienes pedirme, y te contestare'.
i have only been once and that place is definitely yummy! there is so much food though, it is hard to ever have room for dessert. one of xshub's employees came to our house for dinner and brought an entire tiramisu cheesecake! OH it was unbelievable. Vast, the dish you describe sounds fantastic!
shank yo @$$ has so much more panache in ingles
Me hope you cab read it too, and avoid a stalement, if that's actually a word.
Three words: Spicy Cashew Chicken
Ahem!
Awww, c'mon. I could never do that. Well almost never. You know that only you could ever turn my head, darlin'.
Home at last-
It appears the illegal marches
Didn't grap that much attention-
Only the lamestream media whores
Gave it more than just a mention
They want to whip up a frenzy-
They're bored with the stalemate
They'd be smarter to leave it alone
And not go tempting fate
If they keep playing race cards
And handing out koolaid to drink
The situation could get volatile
And they'll be blamed for causing a stink
Oh, dear-I think I might lay low on satan's number day-and don't forget about those comet fragments, either...
1917 At Wrigley Field, southpaw Hippo Vaughn of Chicago and Reds righty Fred Toney throw no-hitters against one another through the first nine innings. The deadlock is broken in the top of the tenth with a one-out single by Larry Kopf, an error and an infield hit by Jim Thorpe, and Toney then sets the Cubs down in order to preserve his extra inning gem.
Imagine how freaked I was at the doc's waiting room later today when I saw the Cub's pre-game show and they mentioned the very same thing - because it happened today!!!
Time to go finish cooking the chicken picatta-back later...
yummy!
to quote that old joke, you know what kind of man looks good when you are PMSing? one with the scissors sticking out his skull : )
end times. just one more sign....
You are a true baseball geek.
