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".
prosaic
adj ;pro·sai·cal·ly adv. ; pro·saic·ness n.
1: not fanciful or imaginative; "local guides describe the history of various places in matter-of-fact tones"; "a prosaic and unimaginative essay" [syn: matter-of-fact] 2: lacking wit or imagination; "a pedestrian movie plot" [syn: pedestrian, prosy, earthbound] 3: not challenging; dull and lacking excitement; "an unglamorous job greasing engines" [syn: commonplace, humdrum, unglamorous, unglamourous]

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....
OMG you poor thing, go sleep right this minute!
From "The Federalist" newsletter: Speaking of homosexuals activists, they are, once again, targeting children -- this time with "family-friendly" cartoon characters such as Barney and SpongeBob. Teacher lesson plans promoting homosexual coupling as "normal," including a video using the hit 70s tune "We Are Family" starring Barney and SpongeBob, will be distributed to 61,000 public and private elementary schools nationwide on 11 March to coincide with a proposed "National We Are Family Day."
Some of the "partners" in production are: Anti-Defamation League, Crown Theatres, Disney Channel, FedEx (providing shipping), Nickelodeon, HIT Entertainment, Nile Rodgers/Sony Publishing/The Bernard Edwards Estate/Warner Chapel, Nelvana, PBS, Scholastic, Sesame Workshop, Toni Mendez Shapiro Estate, and WGBH-TV in Boston. (Be sure and thank them!) Along with a lengthy list of popular kids' shows ("Arthur," "Blue's Clues," "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Little Mermaid," and "The Magic School Bus," just to name a few), the video also features cameo appearances by entertainers Bill Cosby, Diana Ross and long-time Village Idiot Whoopi Goldberg.
I guess that news makes this a hate crime.
A+++ i do not believe that spongebob is gay. i just don't. just bc he has no girlfriend and is best friends with Patrick does not give rise to the presumption of fag. i mean, danny, joey and jessie, all live together in San Fran and not a single one of them is gay (can you tell that i am subjected to an inordinate amount of Full House reruns? )
Says who?
Whatever happened to the middle daughter?
Are you prosaic if you're not poetic?
in real life? or on the show?
probably, but i prefer prosaic to poetic, personally! A+++
Good day, xsmommy:
gee, i don't know anyone like that, but sounds like a rough life ; ) A++++
Real life.
i don't know, i thought i saw something about her recently on ABC Family, but i can't recall what it was.
Free the rug!
i meant to ask you if you have heard if he had any health problems. my SIL said at church one weekend they prayed for a Jim Traficant something about a liver transplant situation or something, i can't recall. but it had me worried for jimbo's health.
I hadn't heard anything about it. Old Jim hasn't been in the news much here, until today.
No, twice!
Gabz:
You should know that even if the means were available to get out if being lost. We men would never use it. Let alone admit to being "slightly off course".
My brother had an old 1968 E Type Jag convertible. Black. Wire wheels. 5 speed. An absolute dream to drive. He traded it in on a baby blue VW Beetle. Insurance was killing him.
I do miss that Jag.
Jack.
Shave the whales!
Go down to Brazil!
(Go down on Brasile? )
No.
Wait.
Don't do that!
