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.

Who cares. I'd wear a silk paisley pleated skirt and high heels if it would get me next to Lynne White.

I always liked the Beverly Hillbillies. And I was always a Buddy Ebsen fan.
you are insane.
Nice link, SG. BTW, my nephew, the one I smacked in the behind, graduated from 6th grade this year. He got some kind of medal from President Bush. He was in the top 99 percentile for math. Of course, he's been on the honor roll since he started school. His first grade teacher had a chair called "The Pickle Chair." If you were bad, you were sent to the Pickle Chair. He never once sat on it. But, dang, he was a little shi'ite at home. I threatened to get a Pickle Chair. My youngest sis (his mom) threatened to throw him in the trash can.
A++++ for you AGAIN, Dutch. Very nicely done. Black gold.
Agreed about the Worst Tartan Ever. Is he carrying a purse?
HOW THE D-DAY TUSSLE WOULD BE REPORTED BY TODAY'S PRESS:
NORMANDY, FRANCE (June 6, 1944) Three hundred French civilians were killed and thousands more were wounded today in the first hours of America's invasion of continental Europe. Casualties were heaviest among women and children. Most of the French casualties were the result of artillery fire from American ships attempting to knock out German fortifications prior to the landing of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Reports from a makeshift hospital in the French town of St. Mere Eglise said the carnage was far worse than the French had anticipated, and that reaction against the American invasion was running high. "We are dying for no reason," said a Frenchman speaking on condition of anonymity. "Americans can't even shoot straight. I never thought I'd say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."
The invasion also caused severe environmental damage. American troops, tanks, trucks and machinery destroyed miles of pristine shoreline and thousands of acres of ecologically sensitive wetlands. It was believed that the habitat of the spineless French crab was completely wiped out, thus threatening the species with extinction. A representative of Greenpeace said his organization, which had tried to stall the invasion for over a year, was appalled at the destruction, but not surprised. "This is just another example of how the military destroys the environment without a second thought," said Christine Moanmore. "And it's all about corporate greed."
Contacted at his Manhattan condo, a member of the French government-in- exile who abandoned Paris when Hitler invaded, said the invasion was based solely on American financial interests. "Everyone knows that President Roosevelt has ties to 'big beer'," said Pierre LeWimp. "Once the German beer industry is conquered, Roosevelt's beer cronies will control the world market and make a fortune."
Administration supporters said America's aggressive actions were based in part on the assertions of controversial scientist Albert Einstein, who sent a letter to Roosevelt speculating that the Germans were developing a secret weapon -- a so-called "atomic bomb". Such a weapon could produce casualties on a scale never seen before, and cause environmental damage that could last for thousands of years. Hitler has denied having such a weapon and international inspectors were unable to locate such weapons even after spending two long weekends in Germany. Shortly after the invasion began, reports surfaced that German prisoners had been abused by American soldiers. Mistreatment of Jews by Germans at their so-called "concentration camps" has been rumored, but so far this remains unproven.
Several thousand Americans died during the first hours of the invasion, and French officials are concerned that the uncollected corpses will pose a public-health risk. "The Americans should have planned for this in advance," they said. "It's their mess, and we don't intend to help clean it up."
I sent that to my son - excellent
Thank you! I knew someone else would appreciate that. It's like the guy is from Clan Non-Descript or something.

Me too. He was quite the dancer. I love the "low key" way that he portrayed Jed.
So sorry to hear about the mishap. This calls for a treat.
Over the weekend I made Mexican Chocolate bundt cake with Kahlua glaze, and drips of chocolate and toasted almonds. (mine looked better than this) The cakes are gone, but I have most of the Kahlua left.
