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.

Etymology: I don’t know.

hamster funeral

Completely unrelated...this weekend, my youngest son sat next to me as I was watching public television. He was making derogatory remarks about my lame choice of shows. I suggested that he watch a show with me and comment once he had actually experienced it.

The show was something about vet interns in England. My son was transfixed by the sight of a young blonde preparing to castrate a guinea pig. (He had been aggressive with other guinea pigs and needed to be calmed.) The voice over was the standard dry british inflection "...the guinea pig, though unconcious shows an amazing reflex for self defense." As we (and the intern) watch, the animal's testes are sucked into his abdominal cavity.

She asks the vet in charge what she should do and he tells her she'll have to coax them down again.

At this point, my fourteen year old son, the former dispassionate viewer shreiks--"Run, boy, run! Don't be fooled by the hand job- You're in danger."

Meanwhile, my husband and older son come into the living room to see what's so hilarious and the screen has switched to a shot of an entirely different vet suctioning bloody puss from an abcess on a cat. They looked at us as though we were insane, as we were literally howling with laughter.

So sorry to hear about the hamster.

Well, with Sandra Day gone he's got to hit on somebody. And I'm not sure Scalia would appreciate the attention.

You certainly do live, Dutch! If I ever see anyone sucking bloody pus out of a cat, I hope I have the presence of mind to laugh. :^)

Has anyone else noticed the difference in the babe factor among women in politics between the two parties? Republican women tend to be rather attractive, while the democrat women are even uglier than their men.

Laura Bush - DROOL! Janine Turner - DOUBLE DROOL! Debbie - DROOL! Well, you get the idea. I'll take several from Column Republican and none from Column Democrat, thank you. Never mind the chopsticks, I'll use my fingers and any other parts required.

I'm in the land of deserts, Sonora and to the west Mojave. LOL!

A++++, Jack. I didn't even know what BugTussle was until Cyber told me this morning. Scary.

Grimmy, I had to ask Cyber what you meant. I haven't golfed in years, and I didn't know what "mulligan" meant. He's become my translator in here.

Cowman, you're still getting an A++++ for making the subbie laugh; however, I've told everyone I misspelled tussle. So did you. Bustles are hard to get the zipper up. They make your rear-end look big.
