March 27, 2007, Tuesday, STULTIFY
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: 'stul-ti-"fI
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -fied; -fy·ing
Etymology: Late Latin stultificare to make foolish, from Latin stultus foolish; akin to Latin stolidus stolid

2 : to cause to appear or be stupid, foolish, or absurdly illogical
3 a : to impair, invalidate, or make ineffective : NEGATE b : to have a dulling or inhibiting effect on

Tuesday mornings: Slip Stupified. Yep, that's it.
Oh, Fred can flirt with me any day of the week, but not this morning. LOL!
Fred could win Ohio. A lot of slack jaewed yokells in the southeast part of Ohio went Dem in 2006, they'd come back for Fred.
Risus abundat et orum stultorum.
LOL! LOL! LOL!

“Congress will have to make the choice between booze and balloons or bullets and body armor,” John Hart, a spokesman for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., told The Examiner on Monday. Coburn and a handful of other senators hope to shame their colleagues into stripping the pork out of the war spending bill.
Thanks, teach.
Mommy will be very proud of me.
I call them Cox Sux for a reason. Cyber calls them Sux Cox. He uses Cox for business in the mornings. So he sat in here with me playing with the modem and his two computers. Couldn't get in.
A++++ for you.
OMG, NO! Prayers for him and his family.
Cyber just told me. I'm ready to cry. Better than pancreatic cancer, though.
i just saw it and am about to bawl, myself.
Very sad.
Can we all take a minute or so and say a prayer or give good thoughts to Tony. I'm busting up over it.
