Word For The Day, Wednesday, June 16, 2004
Webster's New Third Internantional Dictionary | Wednesday, June 16, 2004We | Slip 18

Posted on 06/16/2004 5:44:41 AM PDT by Slip18

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....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.

vagary noun:
Pronunciation: Pronounced about three different ways. Take your pick.
Etymology: Probably fr. Latin

1) Archaic: Journey, excursion, tour (Sea Dragon’s adventures?)
2) Archaic: An aimless digression
3) Obsequious: (a) A departure from the regular, lawful or proper course of conduct. (b)Caper, frolic
4) A departure from the normal, expected or logical order of course. (a) A capricious, eccentric or unpredictable action. (b) A change that is hard to predict or explain.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.

If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

Black is hard to get. Just stay cool and calm today, CG! LOL!

The other dogs ate her tail? That's as bad as my neighbor throwing over the horses' hooves for my dogs to chew on. Yechhhhhh! But they loved her.

So far, it has met with only limited success.

Easy to get black. Move your cursor to the right side of screen the whip it at high speed to the stone. I get black every time I do it that way.

LOL!!!

Jax b'day is the 2nd....but so many folks have plans for the 4th weekend that I went for the following weekend.....after having consulted with several of the moms who's kids are being invited.

This is a first for me - I've never done a kid's party before. I've got NO clue what I am doing.

The woman that owns the place where we're ging was so cool when I talked to her on Monday.......she wanted to know if I wanted to bring my own food in........this place is a restaurant.

This gal has no children of her own, but absolutely adores kids.....she's the one that did the big Easter Egg hunt and donated $1 to the local VFD for every egg found that day.

I prefer my Remington 1000 semi-auto. I can't find a photo of it on Google.

That photo of the dogs sleeping on the stairs is hysterical. My dogs would do the same thing if they had stairs. But then the cat would sneak out and scare the living shi'ite out of them.

having it outside of your own home with something for them to do, is key. you will be fine. i have done both and the idea of 5 boys and 3 girls and assorted guest dogs running amok at my house has me praying it is a sunny and nice day.

One step at a time, xs. I usually get the old panic attacks when I go on vacation. Too much to do and too little time to do it.

I'm supposed to go to Colorado on the 4th of July for my niece's wedding. I don't think I'll make it. The 4th makes the dogs and cat jittery.

we got a new computer and xshub is having his computer geek from the office come over and hook us up tomorrow PM, so i have to make dinner to feed the geek in return for the routing job. then friday PM, xshub has us driving to the eastern shore of MD for a c&w girlie singer concert that he is dying to see (as his fathers day gift), we are also having the house painted while we are gone on vaca, so i have been boxing up the atrocity that is xsbrownie's room to allow someone to move around in there, let alone paint. oh, my day of beauty is on Sat. i am greatly looking forward to relaxing for that.

My choices were the miniature golf or bowling.....but so many of them do the bowling thing i was looking for something different. Plus I know this place and the owner!

I'm just ROFL at the idea of xshub inviting the dogs!!!!!!!! I need some of whatever he was drinking or smoking when he decided on that!!!!!

I've always thought Hitlary was going to pull one of her tricks before the election. Heck, she doesn't want Kerry to win. She wants to win in 2008.

A+ for you, even though you didn't bring in a thread, but you made Subbie remember things.

Wait a minute here. Xshub is inviting DOGS? I thought he didn't like pooches. Has Lucius put a spell on him?
