Old Teddy is so irascible,
A demeanor deemed impassable,
From his quivering chin,
All too well soaked in gin,
Blows a stream of vile gas, et al.
clever ending! A+++
My husband is a really laid back kind of guy, not one prone to be irascible - I have a feeling things are a bit different this morning. Since the school bus came hornblowing and screeching up the road abuot 3 minutes ago - I know must figure his absence is that he took Jax to school himself.
I've risen, I've shone, I've arrived to learn. Now what's this crud about no movie tonight?
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.
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!)

I ran short of soundalikes passable, so rather than being irascible, I decided to try the old catchbucket "et al"!
How's things?

what movie are we talking about?
Ugh.
Coffee.

If you get mad in the classroom, do you have to irascible the blackboard after school?
