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....

[martin_fierro]

I beg your pardon ... ?

I spilled spot remover on my dog.

Now he's gone.

[xsmommy]

hey does that make his poop invisible too????

[martin_fierro]

Yup. Cleanup is a b*tch.

And you thought YOU had it ruff rough.

"... Something to do with sick, twisted, etc..."

You rang?

The Dem candidates don't wish to coruscate,
Or even see the light,
They can't even manage to scintillate,
They really aren't that bright.

But give them lots of power,
You'll see what drives their quest.
They'll be men of the hour,
And tell us it's the best.

Don't tell me that it's snowing,
These flakes are blinding me!
But there'll come a day for knowing,
And TruthShallSetMeFree!

P.S. WN, our friend W said to say Hi! (and Thanks!)

With a bit of coruscation
This person's e-conversation
Has started a spat
Is it spam or what,
And covered by legislation.

[martin_fierro]

xs' idea of "doggie style."

[xsmommy]

how cute!!! not as cute as my baby though : )

[xsmommy]

xsboy is working on a school assignment. they have to read TIME FOR KIDS, the kid aged rag of TIME mag, and do a worksheet. this paricular article is about ENDANGERED SPECIES... the question is:

According to the graph, the number of endangered species in the US is increasing, why do you think this is happening? is this a problem that people should care about? why or why not?

any suggestions on answers that xsboy should give to this question..? ; )

[martin_fierro]

CONSERVATIVES are an endangered species.

They are marginalized and ridiculed by a prevailing Liberal media culture that is out of touch with traditional values.

People should care about it because Liberals claim to "celebrate diversity," while squelching opinions different from theirs.

(On second thought, don't take my input for sonny's homework. I'll just get him expelled.)
