Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
peripatetic
\Per`i*pa*tet"ic\, a.
1. Walking about; itinerant.
2. Of or pertaining to the philosophy taught by Aristotle (who gave his instructions while walking in the Lyceum at Athens), or to his followers. ``The true peripatetic school.'' --Howell.

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....
I met the daughter at lunch and she tells me she and friends are headed to a condo in sunny Florida this weekend. Seems to me the last time was more then enough for me.....oh, to be young again.
I am thinking on the homework assignment..........on duty tonight, maybe I will get to sit at the computer then........
Oh rats, that's what I get for posting before reading a single item on the thread. Now I'm reduced to an echo...echo...echo...
Welcome to the club...
And Nanci Griffith is now refusing the leave the country because she said Brenda Lee told her to stay. I suggest we leave it up to a vote and ship her out to her cottage in Ireland posthaste, where Brenda can join her.
At least it's a fun group. ;)
Brenda Lee??? Is she still around?? And giving fatuous advice, apparently? Isn't she the one who got raped? No, wait, that was Connie Francis. It's all so confusing. Anyway, I have no idea who Nanci Griffith is. She and Brenda can both leave JUST AS LONG AS THEY DON'T COME HERE!!
Yikes.
I've been cold all day today......t-shirt, flannel shirt, and sweatshirt and I still can't get warm and I have the heat on.
Of course PMSing doesn't help matters!!!!
Funny.
The (liberal) left mainstream pundits in the media are aghast at the thought of this terrorist Arafat dying. Of him being "buried alive" and are distraught at the thought of him being ill and unconscious.
But they are trying their best to condemn Terri S. to death by thirst and starvation as soon as possible: just because their trial lawyers/friends of death/abortion-rights-zealots supports and donors DEMAND that she be killed based on the "word" of the man who most likely beat her to unconscious!
Raped?
I'm pretty sure Connie Francis was the one that got her brains scrambled with the late-50's "mindspring" operations ....
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!!!!!
Would those "mindspring" operations be the ones done by the CIA with LSD at the Allan Centre at my alma mater, McGill? I didn't remember hearing Connie Francis was involved. Of course, you're probably talking about something entirely else, Robt.
I realize I've been a bit out of sorts today, but HUH?????????
Are the demo's trying to find Canada?
(Tell them to to close their eyes and walk south ....Towards New Zealand via Cuba.)
And we can't send them to Ireland because happygal would then not be happy. I say we send them to New Zealand, shaggy eel can put them to work, as he says the mosque building industry is booming.
I'm hearing they are, but I haven't seen any up here yet. Although one beat-up old hag in Birkenstocks or long hair hippy freak pretty much looks like another, and we've already got too many in this vicinity. I heard Oprah bought a $13 million house in the Vancouver area a few months ago, but she hasn't had me over for tea or anything yet.
,,, send us your whackos and your losers. After a season or two of Helen Klark and her lesbian collective and no double double decafs with twists of lemon, they'll fly home to roost.
When mosque building fades, they can build more hobbit holes. I wonder what a politically correct hobbit hole looks like. (Not really) Anyway, Irish will be happy just a long as we keep her healthily supplied with Guinness. And soccer players. Because Guinness is good for you. I'm not sure about soccer players, but that's Irish's lookout.
Oh, that wasn't what was done at my alma mater. At least I think it wasn't. That's what's done at local Democrat offices when you sign up to be one.
