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."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Rangel roisters about the draft while Conyers tries to con the public, all while trying to cloister W in a box.

dubs, were you channeling Robt there momentarily? that was positively scary!

[Robert A Cook PE]

What, me channel dubs?

Nah. Must be someone else.

(Looks around for that expensive gift bottle of that latest Houston-brand of perfume that Rika was wearing, "Eue de Ship Channel No. 5")

[Robert A Cook PE]

Eala tries to find the bottle too.

Doesn't see Eue de Channel either.

(Funny, both of us can smell it though.)

[Eala]

Ewe can spell ueu however eew want, Robert, but for Eala it's Eau.

[SeaDragon]

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..

;-)

[Robert A Cook PE]

Channel Nbr 5 is more usually misspelt "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh" by proper and dignified Houstonians.

Rika, ion the other hand, just says, "Smells like money."

[Eala]

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 N^o 5!

[Eala]

Rika, ion the other hand,

I am sorry to hear about Miss Rika's hand!
Do you think it will get well?

[Eala]

I am very partial to Shalimar

Here you are, Sea!

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).

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

That is great Grim...... thanks for the ping..........

[Robert A Cook PE]

"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.

[SeaDragon]

Hello Eala, sweetness. Have you been looking for me?

[Robert A Cook PE]

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.

[xsmommy]

you should be very proud, grimmy! good for YUNZ!
