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....

No I haven't but it is a federal holiday. They must've gone out of town or she would have logged on from home.

Mornin' Teach!

Thought I'd drop in this fine morning. We're having some gorgeous weather here at the base of Mt. Rainier and it's supposed to last all week. Someone did predict a dry winter and that's fine with me. We'll need all that sunshine for a possible all California World series. (I rarely admit it, but SF is my hometown)

One time when we were in Texas we took the tour of the Cowboys stadium and I had my 49ers 'back to back' Super Bowl hat on, but they were very nice about it and didn't give me any guff.
There were about 10 of us on the tour and they even gave us footballs to run around on the field with. I was Roger Staubach for 15 minutes!! And they made the point that the hole in the roof will always be open.

I'll bet those atificial penises would make great trout bait! =0)

Go Giants!

Political Internet boards tend to attract people with unusually shaky conversational skills.

If they would quit visiting the DUh.com site, they would know better.
