You've made it to the top ten, Loney. Be careful with that takillya.

[Slip18]

He's got a photo of me and my sis when I was seven years old. We were in bikinis and bras.

Homework?

Mendacities

Years ago they talked about,
Something called megacities.
Now we know that liberals,
Inhabit Mendacities.

They lie about in windrows,
Blown by some ill wind.
There never is a truthful word,
Either spoken out or penned.

I’m glad that I don’t live there,
I don’t think I’d fit in.
In fact I doubt there’s even room,
For a cuddly Viking Kitten.

Oh, you're quick NnB! Nice Poem.

You have the first A+!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

IIRC, he's yelling 'bout 'mendacity' here. If not, he will soon, or perhaps just has. Regardless, croquettes won't complain...

[Slip18]

Ahhhhh, Paul Newman in his youth. What a hunk! For that photo and the use of the WFTD, I honor you with an A+, HD.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The democratic credo: Mendacity
Coupled with chutzpah (audacity)
Watch them flip-flop and spin
"Take this out! Put this in!"
(Clinton's lies, not his urge for rapacity)

[NicknamedBob]

I think I've "hud" of him. Is he a new man?

[Slip18]

I hope you have taken my advice today. You sound a little croupy.

[Slip18]

Truthie, as usual, you come in with your fascinating poetry.

A+ for you!

[xsmommy]

i would have dearly loved to take your advice slippy, but i am still getting up at 4 to haul xsteen to the Potomac, and coming into my ofc. i have too much to do to lay abed. : (

Hello

I am new to this class , so Please be easy on me........

Mendacity

The mendacities that surrounded the blame for the bombings of the city transit reared their ugly heads in the Spain election. (mendacity)

[Slip18]

I'm so sorry.

Cyber has always said, "It is better to be sick at the office than at home." I don't know what that means.

[xsmommy]

good for you on the slice and dice : )

That is from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, isn't it? I loved their version of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow in that movie(and Big Daddy is one too!).

[Slip18]

"Perhaps we should listen in the United States."

Oh, my gosh, Spain is saying that about the little old U.S. of A?

A+ for you, isatoi.

Welcome to class! If you would like, you can go to the back of the room and play with the fingerpaints. I see the Tiger (Hobbes) is already back there.

[secret garden]

I am off to spend the day with 2nd graders, who have not practiced the art of mendacity and are still a joy.

[secret garden]

Welcome to WFTD!

[Slip18]

How did I miss your sentence, Cyborg? I must have been in cyberspace somewhere.

You get an A for your usage of the WFTD.

Thank you, xs, for letting me see the errors of my ways.
