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.

My brain is desiccated from learning how to use this computer! If I've made errors, please forgive me.
As they say, what goes around comes around.
That’s a lot of buildings.
well my graduating class had over 600 kids in it. did you go to Highlands or was that martin?
t’weren’t me. I went to Penn-Trafford.
That was martin and explorer89!
That’s it. Looks bigger in real life.
well i googled a pic of the school but the pic is GINORMOUS! and it looks fancy schmancy.
Lots of McMansions have been built there in the past 20 years.
You are going to die about this: Girl friend is out in the back eating from Docker’s bowl and drinking water from Scooby’s bowl. We’re going to have so many snot dots on that window. She’s a pretty kitty. You must be nice to her. LOL!
What a great present! Two dogs are much more fun. Has Loosh taken to Chanel yet? Or is he ignorning her?
I have it on the other computer, Gabz. All of my stuff has not been down loaded yet. That’s why I got up early this morning, in case I wanted to put that stuff in this computer, but I didn’t. Lucky to post. LOL!
Sometimes the pouch contents were more crunchy than the potato chips .....
Is a feminine tricolor a French Poople?
I really have to get a good photo of this cat for a zot photo. When she gets going, she makes a face that would make any mad scientist or serial killer proud.
“I” will not imply any reason about why the (or how) the crossword puzzle got messed up on the bed in the Slippie household last night, so I won’t mention anythong what a terrible mess the silk Twister game sheet was in either ....
"No, no, no. You misunderstood. It was a Spoonerism. I meant to say 'Happy Netted 'Fros'. You know, puffy hairdos sticking out of hair nets. That's funny, ain't it? Yeah! That's what I meant to say ..."
Home from work at last-yesterday was a madhouse and today has been nearly as bad-everyone wants stuff done yesterday-
How must the coolest April
In the USA in years
shock the envirowackos
And reduce Al Gore to tears
Showing their pet theories
For a bunch of alarmist crap
Now maybe fewer people will
Fall into the junk science trap
All the Chicken Little howling
From the desiccated hippie bunch
Are enough to make my teeth itch
And want to lose my lunch
