Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD:

 

The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.

Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."

John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

One of the most fun ones.

Good Friday pick, xs!

[xsmommy]

morning, miss bella. how is the blood soaked lawn this AM? did you disgorge all of your candy last night to the hobgoblins?

[Slip18]

I'll bring you in my comfy sofa. None of the Croqs are to get up there with their filthy little hands. LOL!

[EODGUY]

"not that you guys are ODD in any way....too odd that is....."

Thanks for remembering us..........I think.

[VRWCmember]

Hey check this out: 54 shopping days until Christmas!

I'm not the only one who notices these things.

[EODGUY]

I must be completely honest with both of you. When I first saw today's word for the day, I would have bet anyone on the thread that RAC's first comment would have been removed by the moderator.

XS, based on past performance, I believe RAC showed considerable restraint.

:)

[Eala]

Fickle Fate Forfends Felicity!

Feigned fervid farewell for famous fabled former Fabian featuring fabricated farragoes flops, false funeral falls flat, fatal faena for fatuous false fanatical foetid faction. Forbearance, forbid: flout formality!

Fie, fuliginous fools, filthy fogey-foisting fops, find fitting finale -- flabbergasting fiasco forbodes festering failure!

Fini.

(I still don't do 5 AM class openings well.)

[xsmommy]

oh thanks, slippy, it looks mighty inviting!

[xsmommy]

i definitely thought of you and wondered when you would PIPE up with the countdown, when i saw that thread, vast!

[Bella_Bru]

I took a 10% cut from Alex's little sister's booty. PLus, we had a big ole party at work, and got a lot of candy there too. My fake blood soaked lawn is just fine, however, some of it sprayed onto the sidewalk. Hopefully, the city won't mind.

How was your Halloween?

[xsmommy]

you know, EOD, now that you mention it, i do NOT think that robt has ever offended a moderator and been censored, to my knowledge. is this true, robt? you are traveling below the radar screen on FR....

[xsmommy]

A+++++++++

fabulous, Eala! i loved it!

[Eala]

I'll bring you in my comfy sofa. None of the Croqs are to get up there with their filthy little hands.

I'll have you know, my hands are not little.

[xsmommy]

i have not pawed through the xsgirl's take yet, but i was informed there was not a Peppermint Patty to be had and that is one i always lift out of their bags! what is with the people holding back on PMnt Patties this year???

xsboy recalled last year that someone gave him a small baggy of CARROTS, can you believe it??? talk about lame!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"XS, based on past performance, I believe RAC showed considerable restraint. ...

Ahhhhhhhhh. Such compliments from a fellow croq.

Actually, I kinda thought Slippy and Seadragon had all the restraints locked up between them in the broom closet ...

Now, where are those nice warm fuzzy soft felinicitationous rugs we're supposed to be eatin' and invokin' and provokin' on for lunch?

[EODGUY]

I don't know either, but I thought if there ever was a chance of it happening, today would be the day.

[xsmommy]

was my word so provocative, EOD? actually, xsteen's confirmation is next Thursday and she has chosen Felicity as her confirmation name. now, who has the lewd mind in this class...?

[Robert A Cook PE]

True, true.

How do you know if you get one? (Guess I have to ask somebody who's naughty and nice.....)

Do you get some kind of note defining the principle you violated when you violate the principal's principle principal's violation?

[xsmommy]

robt, i assure you, if you get spanked, your bottom smarts from it.... chances are you haven't been spanked....; )

[Sword_of_Gideon]

someone gave him a small baggy of CARROTS, can you believe it

That is just too cool! I was going through the list of everything I wanted to give out to the teens that came by the other day with the wife.... she vetoed all my ideas. I was talking about half cooked bacon, scrambled eggs, egg salad, moist diabetic catfood, etc. I thought it would have been hilarious (& a true Trick on my part) to open up some kids bag, grab a big ol spoon of catfood or eggs & slap it down in there on top of everything.
