April 10, 2007, Tuesday, DESICCATE
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.

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.

Have you noticed that Don Imus looks just like the Cold Mizer? Perhaps he got freeze-dried?
And speaking of freeze-dried; has anyone besides me ever cleaned out the deep freeze and found unidentifiable dessicated lumps of packaged meat in the bottom?

That Lewnisky gal became the world's most famous dessicant.
