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.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

PRESAL

Noun:

PRONOUNCED: Pry/zel

Etymology: Can’t read it.


1) (obs) A seizure (as of goods) under legal or customary privileges.

Well, a little cool for me, but not much below average.

We're heading for 57 degrees today, and normally we see around 60 this time of year.

I'm ready for spring, I think. :^)

Homework featuring today's dubious word:

Elvis Presalee is considered the first superstar of rock'n'roll.

The homework is late because I spent the whole morning looking up the croquette's skirts in my shiny shoes.

Don't bother doing this. It's no presal, not worth the effort. (a.k.a.if you've seen one, you've seen 'em all)

Please send me $25.00 U.S. for this marvelous entertainment. Cash only, sent through the mail. In fact, you should send $100.00 U.S. in case some thief at the post office opens the envelope and steals $75.00 U.S.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Great homework, SG. Have you seen the bottles of the Grey Goose Vodka? They are a work of art. You can look through the bottle and see a piece of art on the inside of it. Kind of like the old Easter eggs.

Advertising is another story, though. Maybe CNN can't get any other advertisers because they are sooooooooooo bad!

The official word from my dinky cable service is that I should have Fox News "in the near future", whatever that means. Wow. Hot conservative babes on my personal TV, I can hardly wait!

In local News.

I fired this guy a year ago for impersonating a telephone technician. Don't worry he is going to impersonate an attorney and represent himself.

I gave him a thumbs down on the interview when we hired him. My reason, "He is shady". They hired him anyway. 10 months later I got them to let me fire his A$$ over attendance, performance, and customer complaints. When LE first met him she asked me later, "Where did they find that scumbag?" I told her that they were too stupid to listen. He even stole the AM/FM radio out of his company truck. I couldn't get them to file a report.

I know someone who would have been excellent as his medical partner, but he has now moved to Florida.

He could not look you in the eye even briefly when speaking. I used to snap my fingers and say, "John over here!", when trying to talk to him.
