[Bella_Bru]

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....

Final Exam

As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTD’s. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an “average” grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a “counseling” session.

Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken

[Alylonee]

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hmmmmmmmmn.

You always carry a pair of little round rolly-thingies with you?

[Funny. Xsexless puppy used to do that too..... Leastwise until xsexmommy starting running around with doctors who carry scissors.]

But don't they rattle around and knock off and cause metal detectors at the airport to go off all the time?

[hobbes1]

.. Leastwise until xsexmommy starting running around with doctors who carry scissors.

Actually it was migrant landscapers with pruning shears...

[hobbes1]

Decorum prohibits listing the rest of said Joke at this time...

Good Morning All,

I cannot be held responsible if you mistake this tagline for a disclaimer.

Since when do we have Semester exams? Oh, well, here goes.

Pedantic coquette incommodes,
Requiring five words in our odes.
I hariolate
and tergiversate,
But to rhyme, I must use a toad.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Brown's Suck, GO RAIDERS!!!!

I'm just happy my team is in the playoffs since Expansion. Not like the Raiders who face upset and heartbreak almost every January, now that is a tradition.

[NeoCaveman]

i have to say brown and orange=tacky. i am partial to black and gold (stillers) or blue and gold (pitt panthers).

Who are you, the fashion police?

[NeoCaveman]

Car Shopping for my 16 year old............ why are car salesmen so slimy?

Why does the sun come up every morning. It's just part of the natural order....

[RikaStrom]

On Thursday, an F-Com Co. employee collected the backups, which contained the names, dates of birth, sex, current and previous addresses, and 11-digit resident registry network numbers of the entire Iwashiro population, from the town hall to transfer them to the company headquarters in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture. (snip)
When he returned to the car at around 6:20 p.m. that day, its windows were shattered and the briefcase, which was labeled "Iwashiro Town," was gone. Backup data for a different municipality also left in the car was not stolen.

Well now, isn't this special??

There once was a little town called Iwashiro
Which collected information quite farrago
Risibly guarded
Ignominiously froward
Reboantly hariolating, no worries, your data is safe.. OH!

Did I pass??!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Your divine wisdom.......lol......thanks

[Alylonee]

Too bad we have the best player's in the league... and don't worry, we will make the play-offs someday.

[NeoCaveman]

The leggy authorette who is kented by the Left qua risible
has sedulously researched and footmarked her tome of sapience detailing the Left's calummy. The left screamed salacious and fallacious arguments against the coquette when they should have learned the message. The old attacks, the scare tactics are so old that they don't work anymore.

Calummy, aka Slander.

[NeoCaveman]

and don't worry, we will make the play-offs someday.

You mean the Superbowl, right.

[Alylonee]

Whatever, same thing. :)

Ok, you caught me, I haven't really been following football this year. When basketball season starts, I stop watching football. GO KINGS!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"But to rhyme, I must use a toad. ...

Ahhhhhhh. Ack! Alass! Alick! Oh no! (Alickin' a all lasses is surely better than a lickin for all as**es? ....)

T'were better (for better or verse?) and rhymne and reason that the toad be pluraleyed into "toads."

[NeoCaveman]

When basketball season starts, I stop watching football. GO KINGS!

Are you telling me they play basketball in months other than March and by teams other than college....I learned something new today.

[Alylonee]

I take it you don't like basketball, too bad for you, you are going to miss the slaughtering of the Laker's this year :)
