WORD FOR THE DAY

March 25, 2004, Thursday | Slip 18

[Slip18]

I always thought that Liz, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn were the most beautiful women in the world.

[xsmommy]

oooooooh..... ; ) i did THAT thing!

[Slip18]

Well, Jaded, I can only give you a B for lubbing my word. We need to bring in a link, a poem, a funny -- oh, "lubs yer sentence" is funny. Never mind.

You get an A+!

[xsmommy]

i am psyched to see some little things poking up. i have full blown hyacinths and i saw poking up yesterday the very tip top of a grape hyacinth i planted last year. are you familiar? i LOVE Those!

[Slip18]

Are youse making Polish sausages again today?

[Slip18]

I planted about 200 hyacinths up in Big Bear. They are just so beautiful. Can't have them here. They would come up and get burned.

Congratulations on your accomplishment. I am as jealous as h-e-double sticks.

[Slip18]

Good morning, Meek! And it sure is a good Thursday. Hoping Miss Rika is making tons of moolah in Vegas!

[Slip18]

I have to leave all of you for about an hour. I'm going to feed my Parents-in-law's dog. He needs to be fed at 8:00 a.m., then be cuddled, et cetera.

Bring out your crayons and coloring books for a while. Just stay out of trouble, okay?

RECESS

[Hegewisch Dupa]

no argument from me, although for some odd reason I've always been way more into Katherine than Audrey (not like one HAS to pick)

[xsmommy]

she better bring the class back some SOUVs is all i have to say.... any NICE TEACHER would....

[hobbes1]

*sigh.....Liz Taylor...

I love that exchange in Cleopatra, where she tells Richard Burton,

HE says...."You dare ask the Proconsul of Rome to Kneel...."

And she says "I asked it of Julius Caesar. ... I demand it of You....ON YOUR KNEES!!!!!"

[TxBec]

gorgeous. I'm going out bluebonnet hunting this weekend. Photos to follow :)

[xsmommy]

are bluebonnets the same as grape hyacinths????

[Hegewisch Dupa]

ahhhhh - that is a pleasent thought.

For what it's worth, the Treasures of Cleopatra Exhibit rolled thru town a couple years back, and a funny little thing we learned is that she pretty much was unattractive. So we kinda figured she must have been really, really good at what she did to be such a successful woo-er of men. Although the power-thing sure helps.

[TxBec]

Here is my example of mendacity for the day (so many examples, so little time..)

Off to find some pictures of bluebonnets... :)

[xsmommy]

well who was good looking back in those days? i imagine julius ceasar wasn't a looker either!

[Laura Earl]

Howdy!

[TxBec]

A good sampling of bluebonnets

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I wouldn't say that. Helen of Troy, for one. You, for another.

[xsmommy]

very pretty and how cool that it had MUSIC too!
