Word For The Day, 11/30/02

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....

Today is going to a bit different here at WFTD. I call it "the ultimate review". I have linked the WFTD from everyday since September. Students will be required to submit homework that uses a MINIMUM of 3 words from previous WFTD's. The more words you use in your homework, the better your grade. Extra credit will be given to those who submit examples, in the form of links to outside web sites, photos, or other images, along with their homework. Extra credit will also be given to our more poetically inclined students. Hand in your homework in the form of a poem, and your grade will go up.

I will be strict about grading today, so, hand in homework only using the minimum of 3 words, and you will get a minimum effort grade of a C. Failure to turn in homework will result in a meeting with principal JimRob.

Students who have many absences over the past few weeks might want to use this day to improve their overall grades.

You may use any of the forms (noun, adjective, etc.) given that day. I am only listing the first form.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[Argh]

you are amazing...............

Thank you, Miss C! It's been 12 years, 11 months and 4 days since a woman last said that to me!!

[Argh]

I knew you were just bound and determined to chain yourself to the action. You really need to cuff that enthusiasm of yours.

Actually, I thought around here neck chains were more popular than cuffs. Oh, well, to quote one of the most dreadful James Bond lines ever, as long as the cuffs and collars match...

[Argh]

I will have to do better..... and lock Arghie in the closet!.

And just you wait until I come OUT of the closet!

Wait a sec...

uh...

that is, I mean to say...

um...

er...

never mind...!

[Argh]

Unfortunately, W, the last I saw, the Irish were going to hell in a handbasket...

[Argh]

Whyisa is gonna be drinkin' with her honey and goin' to bed and sleepin' and all that.

And she isn't gonna share with the class.

Oh, well, Robt., there's a first time for everything...

[RikaStrom]

It was mellow except that I had to go to work on Friday. UGG.

I am going to go annoy the fundies today and go see the new Harry Potter movie. LOL

How was your holiday?

[NeoCaveman]

Unfortunately, W, the last I saw, the Irish were going to hell in a handbasket...

Yes they looked worse than the Bengals in the second half.

Mr. Cook, I never turn the other cheek on the first date...........

[Argh]

Mr. Cook, I never turn the other cheek on the first date...........

So, Miss Whyisa, when I come to your neck of the woods to inflict my beastly society on you, just how long will I have to hang around to get what I want?

:^)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well that would depend entirely upon what it is that you want............ a good cheesesteak takes about 20 minutes........ a trip to Independence Hall takes about an hour......... to watch the Eagles win might take another season or two......(ducking from the Eagles fans.......)

[Argh]

HAR DE HAR HAR!!!

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

ROTFLMAO!!!

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

Shardenfreude, pure shardenfreude....

[xsmommy]

little tommy brings out the creativity. the stuff they have done with him is great!

[NeoCaveman]

The pic of Rush dangling little Tommy out the window 'ala Micheal Jackson' is the best one.

Well the sun is up, I guess that means it's time for me to catch some sleep....

[xsmommy]

was wondering if it was your bed time. Night, night, dubs!
