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. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
seriatim \sir-ee-AY-tim\, adverb, adjective:
1. In a series; one after another.
"Two days from the opening of the impeachment debate, gangs of television crews moved through mostly deserted corridors, doling out their 15 minutes of fame seriatim as individual lawmakers stepped up to batteries of microphones."
--The New York Times, December 16, 1998
Etymology: From Latin series, meaning "row, chain," and is formed on the same model as verbatim ("word for word"), literatim ("letter for letter") and gradatim ("step by step")..
Metaphorically I am always high.
Two days before the election,Kerry and his crew moved through mostly deserted whistle stops, where Kerry doled out his 15 minutes of lies seriatum, as individual thugs stepped up their attacks on conservatives.
As per psychologist Migene Whippler:
Arabs, male or female in traditional dress symbolize treacherous enemies, and the bathroom thing indicates negative influences around the dreamer. Waiting in line means the dreamer is impatient with someone, and a road trip indicates adventures. Being late is interpreted as not believing oneself as being able to perform an upcoming task to expectations. Sounds like you are anticipating your upcoming marathon with some misgivings...
I only caught part of Bayh (I was desperately trying to go to sleep), but I do understand your concern.
the arab women were dressed in western dress, but in any event that all sounds right on to me!
The cat was what this was all about, but when she kept shrieking at me, I got in her face and reminded her that we had already taken care of her son, too, because she is such a waste of oxygen.
As Bruce Willis said in Die Hard......
Like XS, I too am glad your hubby was there to intervene.........she's definitely not worth getting yourself in hot water over.
He's formidable. He's wildly popular in Indiana, which is the most conservative non-southern state. He was governor for 8 years and never raised taxes as a governor. If he somehow gets through their primaries we are in trouble.
"He needed killin"
Bwaaaahaaa! That is exactly what hubby said about her when she finally went off in a huff (right after I threatened to kick her ass if she didn't get off my property). She was so addled that she hit a tree backing out to drive home. Thank God it wasn't one of our cars she backed into-she would be a memory this morning...
Let's continue with our GLOATAPALOOZA a little while longer, before we start worrying about 08, shall we?
Please explicate the reasoning behind your metaphorical allusion. Ten pages outta do it!
Yeah baby! We are all members of Phi Beta Gloatta.
OK.

WHO'S IN THE WHITEHOUSE, BUSH, BUSH!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh
HOWDY!
The next tropical storm to form during the Atlantic hurricane season, which ends Nov. 30, would be named Otto.
At some point in my desperation to get more sleep around 4am, the thought that hurricane season was over yet hit me.........weird.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only election where fraud has occurred, but is just the last in a seriathem.
Calling Mr. Argh......... would you please interpret XS's dream at #43? I'm sure you, as a Sigmund Freud enthusiast, will find all kinds of sexual references....... Texan5 just thought XS was peeved because she was running late....... (ok, sort of)
Maybe between now and then he will see the light and change parties...
