Friday, April 22, 2005

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.


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.

SINISTER

Senator Kennedy's BIL?

"At a federal court hearing yesterday morning, Reggie, 43, who organized fund-raisers for President and Mrs. Clinton, pleaded guilty to two felony charges, bank fraud and conspiracy."

What can I say? A++++ for you, Ti!

Good Morning! It's from a blog, but clearly this pseudo-priest has sinister intentions by bashing the good man elected by his peers.

Liberal values? bereft
At changing the subject, they're deft
With the crap they administer
It figures that "sinister"
Comes from the root word for "left"

I don't know how you do your songs/verses in the morning, but I, as the teacher, am going to grade you even though you did not use the WFTD. I can do that. Hehehehehehe!

A++++ for you, CG!

Good morning, young ladies!

Your subbie may go back to bed for a little while. Eyes are being held open with toothpicks again. LOL!

It is really stormy here this morning. I may be out most of the day if the promised hail hits. We took the cover off the pool last night to get ready for the season so, of course, it is pouring today with the threat of a freeze this weekend. And because there is precipitation, the highways came to a screeching halt this morning. I prefer the storms at night, while people are home and sound asleep.
