May 6, 2005, Friday

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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

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.

IT’S COMMANDO FRIDAY!

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.

If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

I know the feeling. I suppose it's because she didn't injure anyone, just let a whole lot of people work to find her. And the future husband, what a wooooooooose. When and if they do get married, she will walk all over him.

A++++ for you, xs!

[Slip18]

Well, I'm happy to see Flynn's in. Your Flynn is marvy this morning.

[Slip18]

Loney, you're No. 4. Congratulations!

[Slip18]

I forgot to tell you, Marteen, you're the shower this morning. Hehehehehehe!

I realize it's peccant to post and run without even attaching a link but I am running out the door. Have a lovely day!

[LonePalm]

Just so you know, my piccante is peccant.

I had all kinds of regrets about posting that picture the other day ("what sort of dirty old man am I becoming?") and vowed that I'd post a better one if the opportunity presented itself again.

Now I can't remember what the better alternative was!

(What sort of dirty old man am I becoming? A forgetful one.)

[theDentist]

It's Friday! And though I am on-call, I am hoping to spend most of my weekend in a high-quality peccant state of being.

[Slip18]

Thanks, SG. Busy day, huh?

A++++ for you!
