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.
Noun
Pronunciation: Thaw/my/turd . Oh, excuse me. Thaw/my/turj.
Etymology: [Greek thaumatourgos : thauma, thaumat-, wonder + ergon, work; see werg- in Indo-European Roots.]
1) A performer of miracles or magic feats.
Thank you, Arghie!!!
No, I kiss horses forehinds. I also rub their gums. They love that.
They do? Huh. You learn something here every day.
AZ is rugged. You gotta be strong to live here. It's also beautiful, but in a different way. I've always loved Saguaro cactus, but I've learned to love a lot more of the native cacti.
I was used to roses, tulips, daffodils and stuff like that. Can't grow them here. Well, probably this year with the rain and cool weather you could. But no one knows what the weather is going to be.
Tomorrow night? Do they have an all night CAT Scan corner store in Canada?
CT scans are pretty easy, I think. I had four last year, but I can't remember one of them. Too danged medicated.
Oh, if a horse knows you'll rub their gums, they will lift their lips so you can do it. Crazy animals.
(Robt idly notes he has been promoted from the bottom of the barrel.) (Ront corrects xsex's poor misspelling of the word "profer", and recommends she prooffer her next adminision (er, correction) of HegeW better ....)
i am being taken to task for a spelling error by ROBT???? and it is no error, robt....
Neaner, neaner.
"You" (Robt idly notes) had it spelled "profer" when you wrote your nasty note to dear, sweet, loving HegeW.
wow robt. you got me. and you can't even spell.
They normally close at 5 but some nights they have evening technicians, so I'm on for 6:45 tomorrow.
I am late, very late. Today not only have I had coffee, but breakfast and lunch as well!
Thaumaturgy: watch the so-called wizard
perform the slight of hand
that would transform a nation
of individuals who formed a government
of the people, by the people, for the people
become instead,
in the blue coven of Pelosi, Dean, Clinton, Kerry,
become wards of the state
in dire needs of a government nanny.
Thus the thaumaturge
slips your dignity
up his sleeve
until it suits his need,
to be brought out
on occasion,
like a silken scarf,
and disapeered,
to oohs and ahhs,
on your deathbed,
before you are born,
or whenever,
whichever way the crowd is leaning.
Pick a card,
any card,
and find
Lady Liberty in chains.
You mean they're going to dope me up? Oh joy!!
which one is it that you are in the smallish enclosed space? i have never had one, but i wonder if i would be claustrophobic if i had to have one.
I've been told my space will be a circle about 2.5 feet high, so there shouldn't be any claustrophobic effecYYEEEEAAAAAGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
