Merriam-Webster | Slip 18

[Slip18]

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.

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.

It's raining here. What happened whilst I was sleeping?

[xsmommy]

jimrob restores sanity to the rudy candidacy debate. that is such a relief to read! the [delusional]proRudy types had his election a fait accompli.

[LonePalm]

First? Top Ten?

A most mercurial word.

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

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!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)

[LonePalm]

Hah! That's what I get for not reading all the way down the word list before posting.

Fulminate of Mercury used to be the primary ingredient used in blasting caps. It has largely been replaced with less toxic and more stable compounds.

And McCain on top of it. I'm feeling those vapors coming on.

You're top dog today, and you get an A++++!

[Slip18]

Loney, you are No. 2 today. I'm very proud of you. And your outfit is just perfect. I like the kerchief in the pocket!

[Slip18]

Now are you going to make me take back what I said about you? I don't know anything about blasting caps.

A++++ for you!

[Fierce Allegiance]

Sure looks to me like Jim Robinson has fulminated upon the Rudy lovers here in post 706.

Well, go Jim!

I'm waiting for some conservative angel to fall out of the sky!

[Slip18]

Well, let me read up on him. He may not be able to be elected out of his district.

[Slip18]

I forgot A++++ for you, and you are No. 3!

Morning! 43 and cloudy here again-

Queen Hillary has to fulminate
Every speech she makes
I wonder if the rehersal
Required a dozen takes?

She says haters flatter her
And compliment her as well
When they say she rides a broom
And is the bitch from hell

Perhaps she is delusional
Or thinks hate is admiration
Either way she's dangerous
And a political abomination

I'm working in a community not far from LAFB today, so I've got to go to work early so I'll have time to go to the commissary for some groceries before the traffic gets too bad-back later...

[theDentist]

I don't know... I missed '24' so what reason is there anymore??? I fear some evil plot fulminates in the Clinton Senate offices.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I'm always cold at night, but St Ronnie is hot.

Guess I need to fullmimate with mercury.

[Slip18]

Have a good trip! See ya later!
