March 31, 2005, Thursday

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.

I actually heard this word on the news (of course FNN) the other night. It had nothing to do with fluid, you Croqs.

[Gabz]

You've got that right.

[LonePalm]

First? Top Ten?

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Agreed. I read a little further into it, but I remember going to Mommy and Me, and I never heard any talk about sex. And this was in CA. So can't believe her.

A++++ for you!

[Slip18]

Exactly!

[TheGrimReaper]

There can only be one explanation for all those little Jacksons everywhere.... The Reverend Jesse has been depositing his seminal over the place!!
8-o

[Slip18]

Well, when you have to walk around outside with galoshes on all the time, I can imagine how tired you are of the rain.

Did you hear anything from your postal person yesterday?

[Slip18]

You're No. 6, Loney!

[Slip18]

Someone get me the belt. LOL!

A++++ for you, Grimmy!

[MortMan]

If you bat your eyelashes, seminal buy you a drink.

I'll be back later, hopefully with something better!!!

[Slip18]

Hehehehehehehe!

[Gabz]

Nothing more than what I mentioned here yesterday..........the perp is still on the loose

[Conspiracy Guy]

How is you

[Dutchgirl]

My Alma Mater was FSU.
Where I labored to be a Seminole, true.
I vaguely recall philosophy and fine arts,
Taught by pretentious liberal farts.
There I met the father of my children, hence-
It truly was a seminal experience.
While most of it is a drunken haze,
I still regard them as "Good Ol' Days.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Did you play the song?

[Gabz]

thanks for the early morning giggle!

That's good.

[secret garden]

She's gone back to the VRWC, her seminal method for garnering pity from the unwashed masses.

If it weren't for allergies, I'd be doing just fine. 35 mph winds due here today. Lotsa pollen out there. Things are a bloomin! But I have them every year at this time, so it's no biggie.

I wonder why we used to call this condition "hay fever"? I don't see any hay anywhere.

[Slip18]

Beautiful, Dutch, and so early in the morning! You went to FSU?

A++++ for you!

[Texan5]

Morning! 48 and sunny here, so I'm headed out to finish painting trim for a customer-

Fat Teddy is posturing now
Weeping crocodile tears no less
And spouting concern for ex-wife Joan
With her dysfunction and distress

What a backhanded gesture from
A hypocrite and a creep
When the way he treated her for years
Are part of why she's in so deep

With his womanizing as a seminal gesture
And his abuse of alcohol
He may have driven her to desperation
And contributed to her downfall

[Slip18]

No. We have all weekend for playing with stuff. I have that tournament tonight, and I'm kinda nervous.
