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....

Well, here goes: I give the ACLU ten seconds to show animadversion to the terror level color code from Mr. Ridge. They'll decide it's discriminating against color-blind people.
OMG! ROFLMAO! That is exactly what they will do...
It took me a while to find the thread but I'm here now.
Bill C's attempts as subversion
And well known acts of perversion
Are all reasons why

I hear you on the work thing. It has gotten in the way a lot lately. The other kids hardly recognize me any more.....
school is not too hard (how can it be, when we are relegated to the "stupid" side of the forum ; ) ) The kids are pretty nice, and Miss Rika does not permit HAZING of new students, she saves that for the old students...: ) Hope you will join us!
Actually, good late night....
the sun breaking through fog, melting frost, melting ice, melting the cool slumber of bed and the ethereal dreamland from where we learn to really deal with the real world. A new day, a new chance, a seperate chapter to the continuing life story we write, minute by minute, second by second, hour by hour.
Morning.
Aaaaaarg! THE COFFEE POT BROKE!!!
Oh, woe is we!
