great story, thanks for sharing. My best friend's dad was hungarian, he was a great old Hunky. for a grade you need to use the word, though. would you like to rework your sentence and resubmit it as homework? : )

The great avuncular of all winds is headed to my front door! If I'm not back by around tuesday,, ciao baby! It was nice

I believe Zell played an avuncular role for Malkin last night, going after FPL and telling him off in spades. But his speech, listing Kerry's record of denials for our defense was the meatier part of the night. FPL repeatedly pointed out sometimes people vote down bills for other reasons but a senator is only as strong as his record and Kerry's is 33 1/3 slower than it should be.

batten down your hatches, sweetypie!

[Old Sarge]

ANd nuts, I failed to use "avuncular"! Disqualify me now!

[NeoCaveman]

to quote Michelle Malkin, IT'S MILLER TIME!

I'll drink to that!

I wonder what that ole marine is doing for 2008? I'd like to see him run.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'd buy a bumper sticker right now if it said that.

[Old Sarge]

TAKE TWO (snap!)

When I read Gov. Schwartzenegger's speech yesterday, I was reminded of my mother's brother, an avuncular first-generation Hungarian-American who served in the Philippines during WW2, and how humble he was about it; like it was no big deal, just a job that needed doing.

i also tuned into the fatpantload when MR. O was so busy copulating with BONO on foxnews. i was totally disgusted. I was happy to see JC Watts on the FPL show, but boy, it was an eyeopener to listen to those reporters. it is a totally different experience to hear the way they look at things. Saying Dick has to RECAST HIS ROLE, as i said to xshub, recast his role for WHOM? not for pubs! they are happy as clams with his role and always have been.

Anyway, A+ for you and where might i find a transcript of Zell reaming Chrissy?

[xsmommy]

aw that's ok, we give second chances here!

[xsmommy]

A++ great sentence! welcome to class, OS!

[JoeSixPack1]

You couldn't buy a piece of wood in this town for sex, drugs or rock and roll. Not a battery to be had or even a nail!

But it aint here yet!

[xsmommy]

will be visiting Brazil on Sat. had the chocolate mousse toes applied last sat.

[xsmommy]

are you prepped? do i need to send you toilet paper FEDEX or anything?

[TheGrimReaper]

sitting right in front of her TV right now just like I am

Except xs was probably nekkid.

[xsmommy]

i thought i turned the videocam off for the speeches last night! ; )

[secret garden]

Here is the transcript of Zell ripping FPL a new one.

O'Reilly is an obnoxious airbag.

[CSM]

The media's avuncular cries are coming louder and louder in the form of defemation! When the substance of a debate is no longer being discussed, then it is clear they no longer stand on solid ground.

Mornin' all you Zell fans!
