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, riffraff!

Last year took the kids up to a great fish & chips joint in Kearny, NJ (a big Scottish population there). They were having a "Burns supper", which is a fun celebration of the poet's birthday.

When I ordered the haggis, our waitress shook her head and said in a thick brogue, "Ah, you're a brave lad"

Hi slippy!

Deguerre's style (and process) of very grainy, very slow "chemical" photography had been largely superceded by the mid 1850's by the wet-plate method, shuttered camera's, and removeable (glass plate) "negatives" that could be exposed and developed rapidly.

So, by the Civil War, traveling cameramen in horse-drawn wagons for the Eastern and Northern newspapers were regularly photographing the battlefields and soldiers.

Still took several seconds of exposure (so all the Civil War shots ou are either posed "pre-battle souveniers" for the family if somebody got killed. campfire posings of a geneal or his staff, or post-battle dead - cassuse they didn't move much either.

No "live" shots, even ships moved too fast to be photographed.

George Eastman, after the war, finally figured out how to print on "paper" from cheap cameras you returned to him for developing, and then later, invented the celuloid (flexible plastic) negatives we still use.

Well, "I" know I'm a wanted poster, but my dear Miss "V" always gets first grabs.

I see you've been modeling your Freudian Slip again today. And not too subtly, I might add.

Xsex modeling her Fruedian slip?

Or was that Pamela who was lifting her artificial Californian melons?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Modeling her Fruedian slip?

No, no.

She was, however, licking her chocolate bra into shape....

[TheGrimReaper]

I would presume that MILK CHOCOLATE is required for that application?

[TheGrimReaper]

Somevon here needs zum help?

[xsmommy]

okay grimmy, VP cheney is 15 years older than i am, and so maybe that signals some sort of Electra complex on my part, but i find him very attractive. THIS is who i am talking about.

now what the rest of you perverts were talking about, i don't have any earthly notion.

[xsmommy]

i would have a very difficult time, if pressed to choose...

[xsmommy]

Now, i trust i have made myself crystal clear, and the rest of you better not be attempting to attribute YOUR RAFFISHNESS to me. I would have to say that all of you are perfect examples of the WFTD! right, slippy?

[Robert A Cook PE]

and so maybe that signals some sort of Electra complex on my part...

Noooooo.

Seems your electra complex is most often signalled by a switch from used to new "C" cells.... (Or was that "DD" cells?)

Unless you'd rather just stay with a plugged-in version.

[hobbes1]

Now, i trust i have made myself crystal clear

Very.Judging from the sign on the podium, I am guessing you like like dick circumsized?

[Robert A Cook PE]

We'd better ask xsexlesspup if he has any circumstantial evidence left over of that particular desire......
