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.

I saw that and was grossed out beyond belief. Guess the court figured sending that guy to jail would be a death sentence.

So does the guy shoot a deer and then look down and say "hey that's turning me on" or does he say to himself "let me go kill something so I can hump"?
Cause that's two different strains of crazy.
