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....

ROTFLMAO! There have been reports of voter fraud already. I couldn't hear the state. Was that you, Madame D?

[xsmommy]

GOOD FOR HER!!!!

I don't believe it - they settle the question in the last stanza! Jashu (horribly mis-spelled, pronounced "YA-shoe") stole the kieska. Even I remember hearing those lyrics even with all the concentration I put into "one, two, three - one, two three-ing" while Polka-ing.

[xsmommy]

i was directly in line behind my freeper neighbor to vote for President Bush at 6 am that day!

[xsmommy]

oh i would love to polka with you, HD! bet you're good!

[Slip18]

I posted over there. Effie is wonderful! What an inspiration.

I hate standing around after work. I usually vote early, get to work a little late and stay a little late to make up for it. No rush home to see the results because at least federally they're never what I want anyway, and we pretty much know how each elections going to end up: more Libs again. Thanks for nothing, Ontario. Now drop dead while we Westerners separate...

Sorry, Miss C, a little ranty there...

[Slip18]

I haven't danced the polka in years. It was always so much fun.

We don't need Bubba, we got the Pics.

[xsmommy]

thanks to the freeper on the polack thread, i now have 'who stole the kischka' reveberating through my head, and i can't get it to stop!

[Slip18]

That is so cool.

I was on the election committee that year, so I had to leave the precinct I was working to go to my precinct to vote.

Here in AZ it's totally different. You have to vote by absentee ballot if you're working in a precinct different than your own. You can't leave for the whole day. I didn't do it this time. I can't bear feeling stuck all day.

Well of course it is okay. I was just indicating that it is not my cup of tea.

[xsmommy]

since i vote at the crack o dawn, i don't have to mess with too many people. i hate crowds also.

[Argh]

I never realized, she seems to have her dad's nose.

[xsmommy]

those are some hideous shoes.

[hobbes1]

Someone needs to instruct her, to look straight up, and wide eyed when lighting a cigar like that.

[Argh]

I can't bear feeling stuck all day.

biting my tongue, biting my tongue...

[SeaDragon]

That is okay, cupcake. I know how you feel.

[Argh]

Well, if they're regular Democrats, maybe her dad will teach her...

btw - that same FReeper - Martin Fierrio I think, had a hilairious commnet on the "Jesus on Popular Mechanics" thread.
