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....
Thank you, VRWCMember, for today's WFTD!

I thought I was so smart and could accomplish something with just a phone call or two this morning. Instead I wound up on a fishing anabasis trying to find out how to get my child in kindergarten in September.
I have resigned myself to the fact it appears I will not be moving to Virginia in the forseeable future and better get my ducks in a row.
Oh, I want out of Delaware so badly - I can taste it.

How much would you like to bet that the French Ambassador did doo-doo in his Diaper when Powell used the Picture fo the F1-Mirage conducting a Mock Anthrax Drop.

For example, Iraq had a program to modify aerial fuel tanks for Mirage jets. This video of an Iraqi test flight obtained by UNSCOM some years ago shows an Iraqi F-1 Mirage jet aircraft. Note the spray coming from beneath the Mirage; that is 2,000 liters of simulated anthrax that a jet is spraying.

well ask dubs, he saw her in the flesh the other day, i did not. Dubs, does she have any more meat on her bones that you could tell? She looked radiant with a sparkle in her eye, and a hint of laughter in her smoky voice.

You would like the Mon-Wed thing. The Professor will start into spouting some Post Modernist claptrap ('The failure to conform to the Patriarchal Standard leads to diminsihed rewards..') at which point I rebut (barriers to full participation in the Meritocracy leads to...) and launch into a good 2 minute Soliloquy, before she can wrest back control of the classroom.....
And even better, now I have a disciple.
