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.

His tail got cut off when I was chopping firewood.
I beg to differ.............no one can even pull into my driveway without mine going absolutely nuts. Trying to let anyone in the house is murder.
You would notice the big mammary glands! LOL!
How possibly can the Skull and Bones Society be secret when we all know about it? The Yalies couldn't keep a secret if their life depended on it.
Mine wants to hug and lick visitors to death as if she has never seen a human before.
Mine try to slobber the intruders into submission. The only time they bark is when I'm on the opposite side of the fence and they want to be with me.
Speaking of secrets, what the heck is wrong with Time magazine disclosing the undisclosed location of our man Cheney? They should be charged with treason.
I am highly trained as an observer.
I'm turquoise.
Did the tail burn nicely?
I made the monumental mistake of going back into my bedroom after I had gotten dressed this morning......next thing I knew.....it was nearly 9am.
Yellow-green - a troubled uneasy soul.
The Editor should be wearing panties on his head.
As someone pointed out, if he finds Bush's appeal to the Vatican so distasteful, maybe he could appeal to the Vatican to support his Pro-Abort, Pro-Gay agenda....
No, he should have his persnal location informatio posted on the Web.

Don't know. One of the other dogs ate it.
You guys are lucky.....mine won't let anyone near the house without sounding the alarm
