February 27, 2007, TUESDAY, VISAGE
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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.
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.
Pronunciation: 'vi-zij
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from vis face, from Latin visus sight, from vidEre to see -- more at WIT
1 : the face, countenance, or appearance of a person or sometimes an animal
2 : ASPECT, APPEARANCE (the grimy visage of a mining town)
Re No. 1: Does this sound as if it could be our very own Cook?
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.
Did I use that word correctly, xs?
There, this visage should shock everyone awake...
Morning!
The news about queen Hillary
Comes as no surprise-
She has another slush fund
Wearing a familiar disguise
The visage of a charity
Does not a charity make-
That she leaves it unreported
Requires a diferent take
Could she be hiding money-
A bribe or just a fee?
Of course not-move along folks
There's nothing here to see
It is 41 and foggy here-I'm off to work 40 miles away-back later...
Ahhhh... Kirsten.
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!)

Good morning, ms. slip, everyone.
Nancy Pelosi's visage is so similar to that of the Run-away Bride's that one wonders about the Bride's parentage. Hmmm.
We are of the sun
The faces of the children
God's hand in us all.
This is the same haiku in French and English. I wrote it at a YES concert about 6 years ago.

Morning!
I can see we're gonna get a lot of visagual aids today.....
A++++ for you! Oh, and you are the first part of the sandwich.
Good morning, Cook!
The visage of old age is a contrast between the careworn skin and a child-like sparkle in the eyes.
You get an A++++ for your poetry, too.
A++++ for something, I think.
You just missed being the bottom of the sandwich. You're No. 5.
Can't count. You're No. 4. Sheesh.
