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".

WFB's attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
Nope. That thread was pulled because it never happened.
Syracuse ORANGEMEN vs. TEXAS A&M aggies (xshub vs. SG/robt). i have never been to vegas. xshub has speaking gigs there at least a few times per year. there is a great jewellery store there and sometimes he brings me something back....
i am glad to hear it bc i love will ferrell!
Shakespeare would have ~wanted~ you.
-must be nice. Wish I was there. The daughter just went there for her birthday last weekend.
Because I'm from the West Coast and now AZ, I've been there hundreds of times. It used to be an adult Disneyland. Now it's become a family Disneyland. I'd rather go to Loughlin, NV, for fun and games.
Har. I really think that's crap about Shakespeare. Gays are claiming everybody in history was gay.
Ohhhhhh, I hope you get a piece of jewelry!
I've thought that before the gays came out of the closet.
yes i picture her as gorgeous also but dark haired. i thought the lesbian she brought home made some reference to her hair being reddish brown?
i would only be interested in shopping. i am not big on shows and i don't care to gamble, so i don't know what else there would be of interest there.
There's so much to do other than gambling. The new hotels are outrageous. The xskids would love it, too.
he just got to the airport there and called me to see what the scores were from the NCAA so far, RME! he has to basically go to the hotel,walk into the conference, and speak. there were lots of delays.
Sounds intriguing!
honest, i think you'd love it!
can you believe that Seton Hall is losing to WICHITA STATE?>??
Curious, did you know the scores?
That's because it was a hoax.
