Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

On the day it named a new top editor, The New York Times launched yet another investigation of the performance of one of its reporters.
This time the reporter under the microscope is Lynette Holloway, a media writer whose recent story on the music business was the subject of a 2,100 word correction in The Times yesterday.

The Times' reports, a verbose lot, they
Wonderous false facts they have to say
Ain't prosaic
Diversity reject
The times is going down, come what May!

TIMES' BAD TIMING

[Conspiracy Guy]

In order to keep my depression under control the Dr prescibed prosaic.

[RikaStrom]

Uggg, it's too early to be bawling.

[hobbes1]

It's never to early to be balling....

[xsmommy]

you shouldn't be embarrassed, it was very sweet. i am sitting here thinking, well what could xshub say...she doesn't cook, she doesn't clean, she PMSes 25 days out of 31, yeah, i guess i like her ok.... ; )

[xsmommy]

ever since i cried myself sick over the Bee book, i feel cleansed. haven't even teared up since.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yeah I went over and read all that blubbering. But having had a few bad realtionships I can vouch for the elation felt when you finally find the right one. When I found Laura Earl I had almost given up on personal happiness. She has changed my life and I will never be able to repay her. I love that woman so much it hurts.

[camle]

that wasn't a bawl, it was the next step up from nausea.

[Conspiracy Guy]

That's very different than BAWLING.
