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....

The enemy has been engaged, and Saddam just pooped his pants! As we continue our battle, remember why we are fighting. The Eagle is awake and demanding retribution. As our President said, “We will not negotiate!”. We will not forget. Just like we Did not forget to repay those that perpetrated the Attack On Pearl Harbor....

[hobbes1]

It was an reference to my joke at #8

[xsmommy]

hey they weren't doing this at Whopper College when I worked there! good grief!

[xsmommy]

A congress of wiener dogs...

Interesting. Now that I had a job to do, I walked up to Gooster and Lulu, both dachshunds. Gooster was dressed in a Jets sports T-shirt, and Lulu was dressed as a fairy, with pink wings and everything. I really wanted to ask, "Why? Why do this to your dog?" but the question, "Why didn't you dress up your dog?" would have been more appropriate, as more than half the dachshunds there were sporting some kind of costume

[hobbes1]

Lulu was dressed as .... hannity ?

[xsmommy]

that is SO uncalled for!

[xsmommy]

by the way, rest assured that xspup will be dressed in something for the Reindog parade this year!

[Donahu?]

Thank you.

I bet the citizens in Congress, AZ and in Congress, OH will be proud that their former president, Jimmy Carter, while accepting the nobel peace prize, referred to himself no less than 6 times in one sentence. Democrats.

"When I was at the White House I was a fairly young man and I realized I would have maybe 25 more years of active life," Carter said, adding that he decided to "capitalize on the influence I had as the former president of the greatest nation of the world and dcided to fill vacuums."

[hobbes1]

: P

[hobbes1]

Well, maybe Lulus outfit would suit its tastes...

[xsmommy]

sniff....

[hobbes1]

You're the one that eunuched it.

[xsmommy]

obviously they didn't take enough off, since he is still snapping.

[Argh]

The poor dog's going to have to wear a costume? How about a Sean Hannity costume?
