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!

anabasis, noun:
plural:anabases

1. An advance; an expedition.
2. A large-scale military advance, specifically the Greek mercenary expedition across Asia Minor in 401 B.C. led by Cyrus the Younger of Persia, as described by Xenophon. It was unsuccessful, and the Greeks, led by Xenophon, retreated to the Black Sea.

Etymology: Greek, from anabainein, to go up. See anabaena

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

HAH!! It'll probably take fewer to convince him about Iraq...

[camle]

you'll never get on the slut list with posts like 210

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH

[camle]

however, 215 goes a long way for your rehabilitation.

The Prime Minister had declared that Sanctions meant war; secondly, he was resolved there must be no war; and, thirdly, he decided upon Sanctions.

Apparently a touch of French in the blood...

[Argh]

HAHaha! Whatever happened to that "Dice" guy?

[hobbes1]

Celebrity Oblivion.

A hangover is the wrath of grapes.

Let me know when you find the list........

[Argh]

Probably get me on more than one poop list, though.

[Argh]

Thank you. I'm surprised I didn't get "Honourable Mention" or something on the original list.

Actually, I'm REALLY surprised the list isn't croq full of chockettes, er, chock full of croquettes.

[camle]

you mean "Horrible mention"?

the slut list began life as by selection only, but Hobbes opened it up to applications.

which means that you too can share in the honor of Freepdom's most exclusive group - the WFTD sluts.

you either have to apply, or you can weasel an existing slut to vouch for you, to affirm that you possess the necessary qualities required to uphold the finest traditions of WFTD sluthood.

Sorry, Whyisa, I looked for those tenets around the end of the 70's when I still owned the trunk I'd stored them in and even then they were looongg gone. I guess I'll have to make up a bunch of new tenets. I remember the admission of females to the order would only be successful following a pretty rigourous test process (i.e. performance of perverted acts, but then one person's perversion is another person's same-old-boring[pardon the pun]-stuff, isn't it?).

[hobbes1]

(i.e. performance of perverted acts, but then one person's perversion is another person's same-old-boring[pardon the pun]-stuff, isn't it?).

I think that was Whyisa's middle name before Texas girl...

I dunno, camle, sounds like a lot of effort just to get a lousy reputation. You might ask Miss C aboot my qualities, such as they are, but she's always gallivanting on vacation after sharks and stuff. She's never draggin' her C in here anymore. (Now I'm REALLY in for it!)

If drinking beer can get me in , consider me having applied for the position.

[Argh]

HAHAH!! I REALLY like the "same-old-boring-stuffinpa" part!

[camle]

they tell me that it's really quite an honor. see if CJ, Grimy or hobbes will second your nomination.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh, kick a girl while she's down...... ouch......

And if either of you would like to compare notes, I believe my record of "boring old stuff" could rival the list of just plain bad stuff either of you might have........

But if you have to try to get in, you don't really deserve to be in, do you?

She who needs a very tall privacy fence for her swimming pool (SWNAVTPFFHSP) has spoken.

OK, I'm easy.

Actually, I tell all the girls I'm easy, but it never does any good. You'd think that would at least get me on a slut list.

But if I don't get some more work done, I might get nominated by my boss for the unemployed list. See you later.
