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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

That is so funny, Arghie.

I can barely hear myself think here. They are cutting the edges on tiles. My ears are popping . . .

[Slip18]

"I don't have the time or the disposition to go stand in line with idiots."

Harrumph! I beg your pardon, Miss Dragon. It feels more "real" to me voting in person.

DAVIS SUCKS

BALDACCI SUCKS

My buddy Howard does a similar thing although he's rarely out of town on election days. Here you can register to vote at an early poll, thus avoiding the election day rush.

So did young Mondale. And middle Mondale. And Bill Clinton could probably testify re Elinor Mondale's abilities in that capacity, that is, if Bubba isn't busy lying...

Listen - I campaigned to be "Mr. Polish Sausage," but they told me that I was only qualified for doughy, fruit-filled pastry. Thanks for rubbing it in...

[Slip18]

Another poll to FReep!

RIGHT HERE!

[Argh]

Good luck Miss Slip, just keep thinking how wonderful it'll be when they finish.

[Sword_of_Gideon]

I did Mistress Bella!

[Slip18]

Thank you, Arghie.

[SeaDragon]

Thanks sweetness.

Mr. Kielbasa, huh? Is this your theme song??

[SeaDragon]

Harrumph! I beg your pardon, Miss Dragon. It feels more "real" to me voting in person.

Oh Slippy, please.................

[Argh]

You're very welcome as always, Miss C!

[SeaDragon]

It just makes things easier for me not to be bothered with standing in line with all the people that don't have to worry about getting to the office. After work is even a worse option.

[Madame Dufarge]

OK, OK, I voted 3 times, just as you suggested.

[xsmommy]

well, Sea, if Slippy likes to get out there, amongst the hoi polloi, experiencing a voting booth, and pushing buttons, opening the curtain etc. That is ok too!

[Slip18]

I think any way you feel comfortable voting, either in person or by absentee vote, is good. Just get out and vote.

I've always liked the crowds at the precinct. I see neighbors I haven't seen since the last primary or election.

I was playing with you, Sea!

[Argh]

Well, for the croquettes, actually, all female freeperettes, here's a little inspiration today.
