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....
roister\ROY-stur\, transitive verb:
1. To engage in boisterous merrymaking; to revel; to carouse.
2. To bluster; to swagger
Etymology: Roister is probably from Middle French rustre, "a boor, a clown; clownish," from Latin rusticus, "rustic," from rus, "country."

To: Robert A. Cook, PE
Sorry Robert but I don't know that particular fragrance as I live no where near the channel. I am very partial to Shalimar if you would like to find me a bottle of that..

To: Eala
Channel Nbr 5 is more usually misspelt "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh" by proper and dignified Houstonians.
Rika, ion the other hand, just says, "Smells like money."

Channel Nbr 5 is more usually misspelt "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh" by proper and dignified Houstonians. Then they are lucky. ALL the channels in Seattle are properly spelt "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh," including Channel No 5!

A Texas milestone: 1] The Texas House of Representatives today (01/14/03) swore in its first Republican Speaker of the House since 1870.
2] Likewise, Republicans hold the majority in BOTH the Texas House and Senate for the first time since 1870.
3] The number of Democrats holding a state-wide elected office in Texas remains at ZERO (as has been the case since 1998).

"I am very partial to Shalimare."Sea? Told she didn't like goin' down too deep on a first date.
'Course, she does go down all the time in those narrow canyons and twisting passageways in the shallow wet areas near sunny beaches.

Dear Teacher and Teacher's Pet/Class Tattletale:
Wednesday (1/15), I must appear at the courthouse for jury duty. As I will be armed with the latest copies of National Review, The Weekly Standard, and the NRA magazine - all of which I will be reading conspicuously - it is probable that I will be discharged (or escorted out) by noon. Jury duty pays roughly $4 less than the parking will cost, and the lost time here at the home office will cost me at least $2 - maybe $3.
Anyway, don't even think about marking me absent or tardy.
You have been warned.

Hello Eala, sweetness. Have you been looking for me?
To: TheGrimReaper; xsmommy; *Students
Lettuce try again, since the server is dying.
Wear a tie and "dressy" clothes. Defense lawyers in particular HATE a male wearing even a shirt and tie, much less a coat and tie.
DON'T wear blue jeans and casual clothes, even if a female, because you are IMMEDIATELY targetted as an "easy mark" and soft sell....though (perhaps) the prosecuter will will void you out.
My last jury summons: the prosecutors tuned EVERY minority in the pool until they ran out of "eliminates"; and the defense turned down EVERY while male until HTEY ran out of "eliminates."
Casually dressed white females (and minority/union males) were accepted every time, no rejects at all.
