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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
osculate \ohs*cue*late\, verb:
osculated, osculates, osculating; transitive, intransitive verb
osculation; noun
deosculate, deosculation; (fondly)
exosculate, exosculation; (vigorously)
1. To kiss..
2. Mathematics: To have three or more points coincident with.
3. To come together; contact.
A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

I have a little teeny wireless weather station so your weather thingy is probably just like my weather thingy.
Some of my clients are still advertising on national media but it was a long time ago, over 20 years. It was a very exciting career and I'm proud of the awards. I actually made history with a couple innovations but can't reveal them for business reasons.

ROFLOL, I have spent the last two hours trying to think of Monty Pyton.... National Lampoon kept intruding! You must have had a hilarious two hours!
If Monty Python crossed with National Lampoon you'd have:
National Monty
and
Monty Pythoon.
I like the sound of one and would love to see the other.

No, not that. I took it as a sincere compliment.
I couldn't think of a funny way to say that by what you wrote, you intimated you had a career you weren't proud of. And I still can't think of a way so it still sounds stupid. But, you know, a comic has to keep trying and God knows I am.
