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....

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....

[xsmommy]

i guess so. am not familiar with the terminology. suffice it to say i knew you were both being mean in some manner.

[Argh]

Well, given that xshub is goofy enough not to like her cooking, there must be SOME reason he hangs around...

[xsmommy]

he is not goofy, he is aberrant, and he LIKES ME!

[xsmommy]

THIS is goofy

[Argh]

Well, for what it's worth, I like you too, even if you don't know that "snapper" is a crude term in some circles for a certain part of the anatomy of a female homo sapiens...

[Argh]

ACK! A mirror! Take it away!!

Say, xspup could dress up as Goofy for Hallowe'en. But if you really want to annoy the little tyke and at the same time have him be REALLY scary, dress him up as a certain dog named Hillary. (If the ASPCA weren't full of liberals, they'd probably come after you if you did that.)

[xsmommy]

thanks for telling me. i have NEVER heard it. it felt like i was watching a movie in a foreign language w/o subtitles. Why did he say something about me bowling? I do know that kegling is bowling, but i don't get that either. i have never bowled in my life.

[xsmommy]

great idea, surely i can find an extra small black pantsuit!!!

[Argh]

Make it crisp!

[xsmommy]

i'll let him wear it for a week or two in advance, so it will be authentically crusty....

[Argh]

I'm sorry, that should have been crusty, not crisp. Oh, well, same diff.

[Argh]

If you want an authentic odour, you're going to have to put a fish in there for a couple of weeks too.

[xsmommy]

let's not get too carried away in our quest for authenticity!

[hobbes1]

Why did he say something about me bowling? I do know that kegling is bowling,

And what exercise does one do after child birth to fix said equipment?

(And JFTR...I like you as well..)

[Argh]

You're right, no dog would want to smell like the junior senator from NY. I wonder how Mary Steenbergen stood it?...

[Gumlegs]

Congress: A legislative body whose name implies what it's doing to the country.

[xsmommy]

ohhhh ok, i get it now!

[Argh]

Sounds about right. It reminds me of a great line in the National Review around Thanksgiving during the early Reagan years: "Congress went home for the holidays and the nation celebrated Thnaksgiving."

[hobbes1]

Glad to be the one to give it to you.

[doubled]

Hey, CJ! You may want to start packing your bags. It looks like they found one of your patients that didn't get away.
