Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
A+++
A+++ you are so prescient ; )
A+++ did you listen to the french pronunciation? i can just hear them saying that!!
The prefix you are looking for there, is OMNI. ; )
no, the word is HUBRISTIC i think...
Speaking of Echo, look who’s “depressed” about Wisconsin.
I’ll volunteer to cheer her up.
That was a good article hobbes1!
If you recall, we thought the exact same thing about the clintons when they first took office, AND when they left office, trashing the offices and computers. But I agree obam is surrounded by third rate __________ (fill in the blank with your favorite description).
But on another note, you just announced what a dog you are - even knowing she is an idiot lib you would want to "cheer her up". Most women I know are turned off by idiot lib men - but you wouldn't care if she felt you were a racist woman hating thug. Interesting Dave.
But did you see those cute chipmunk cheekbones?
You should check out "Dollhouse" on Netflix. It was a really good show. It was a secret place where people could be "programmed" to be hired out for various tasks. Interesting.
i don’t care how gorgeous a liberal man was, they immediately lose all appeal once i know their politics. men are shallow and it doesn’t speak well of them. besides, i couldn’t be intimate with someone i considered an absolute MORON.
Nothing showed up on your link - and obviously you want someone to program a woman to service you. Isn’t that kind of the lazy way out? Shouldn’t a real person WANT to be with you instead of having no control? Again Dave, that isn’t showing a good side of you.
wait a minute, wait a minute, wait just a minute... didn’t we have to beat Soother’s @$$ about the RAPE LIST that the libs did in some magazine about conservative women they wanted to have hate sex with? I have to say, Soother is borderline suspect a few too many times lately....
I know - a man who would do anyone is no better than the fence jumping ghetto rats. “Any port in a storm” comes to mind.
You’d recognize her as one of the international jewel thieves from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, if you ever watched the Kevin Smith DVDs you got for Christmas!
while that is PERFECTLY TRUE, it will do nothing to enhance her IQ, nor will it make her less of a lib.
I know, but SD is so easy to beat up. I don’t have to research anything before slapping him publicly because his comments are always the same thing. Any woman, tends to believe the media, bases his life on how things work within 2 square miles of his home. ;^)
You’re going far away from anything I said. I just said the TV show was good sci fi. And the woman is attractive.
Not that I wanted her to be my programmed sex slave.
Commerce Secretary John Bryson should have remained faineant this weekend instead of drunk driving in a hit and run. His claims of a seizure are weak and desperate attempts to get out of it. Just what Obama needs. Priceless.
Once again, only three pluses.....oh, how I long to have that fourth plus......the four-plus-people are sitting around drinking champagne and eating caviar......”Did you see that blueunicorn6 only received three pluses? hahahahaha!”......the world is a little darker today.....my poptart is less tasty......I am relegated to mediocrity by one little plus......two intersecting lines.....but I’ll never be three pluses again!.....as Jim Rob is my witness, I’ll never be hungry again I mean have three pluses again!....oh Tara, Tara......
