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....
qua \KWAY; KWAH\, preposition:
1. In the capacity or character of; as.
2. In so far as
This might be thought a decisive objection to a federal judge's writing about this subject even if the judge writes qua academic rather than qua judge.

Etymology: Latin, which way, as, from ablative singular feminine of qui who. Date: 1647
Xs--pay close attention here--it's very simple. The trick is: "When moving outside, walk briskly in a zigzag pattern."
You heard me.
Now, how are you supposed to zig-zag with a cart? Someone give me a break.
These idiots think they're giving us good advice.
Luckily they are playing the Vikes this week, your team should be able to beat the Vikes, right?
I will say, however, with a Healthy Curtis Martin, and a Healthy Wayne Chrebet, and Pennington at the controls, if they can keep Randy Moss from having a 300 yard, three touchdown game...they should be ok.
I am still, however, praying for cold weather.
speaking of teams that suck, xshub has left the unpleasantness of SU football behind, to embrace the optimism of college bball....
and like Condoleezza Rice, who, in 2008, will likely become both the first African American and the first woman elected president of the United States. (For the record and you heard it here first she'll skewer Hillary, platitude by platitude, in a series of Nielson-bonanza debates and take the election in a landslide, thus officially dragging America out of the Clinton Era, that 16-year stretch of moral manure we collectively stepped in back in 1992.)
f*ng plagiarist.
After takeoff, the American kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll get up and get a beer." "No problem," said the American, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the Arabs picked up the American's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the beer, the other Arab said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one, too."
Again, the American obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other Arab picked up the other shoe and spat in it. When the American returned to his seat, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the American slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "Why does it have to be this way?" he asked. "How long must this go on?
This fighting between our nations?
This hatred?
This animosity?
This spitting in shoes and pissing in beers?"
Most of the carts I get in almost any store zigzag by themselves. Just stay behind it.
I'd consider it racist and ludicrous not to consider the ME possibility.
