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.

Goodliest mornings to all y’alls!

[xsmommy]

[Gabz]

mernin!

Perhaps the great purge was like a bastion to reduce the internecine battles and restore some peace to the Freep.

[NicknamedBob]

Good Morning!

Bastions are exemplars,
They make a salient point.
In the citadel of self-defense,
They're the big toes of the joint.

"Perhaps the great purge was like a bastion to reduce the internecine battles and restore some peace to the Freep."

It was like watching a French mob rioting. No matter what the purpose, it's just wrong.

[tioga]

the WFTD classroom is a bastion of safety in the land of FReeperdom

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, ms. slip, everyone.

How is it possible that Rosie O’Donut, that bastion of intelligence, is still on the air? Intellectually, I don’t want to appear to be a snob; it isn’t becoming. But I cannot figure out how a bi snot like O'Donnell obtains a daily forum on television. This ugly bat is on every day!

She is a well-known hard leftist, but it is not bias that I’m complaining about. I don’t even care about the fact that she is disgusting to look at, having turned her abs into a giant jelly roll. (Hey, Rosie—lay off the high-calorie Coke. Tab is on the grocer’s shelf, too.) If there is a conservative on the show, she baits, on and on, with the latest moonbat theory. Isn’t there an anti-SOB rule on ABC?

I stab no one in the back, as a rule, but Rosie deserves it. While I was studying and learning facts, she was busy imitating a bison at lunch, grazing in the fields, looking for oat bins or stacks of hay. Please, “The View” and “The Ugly View” need obits. And I mean now!

[NeoCaveman]

Once a bastion of support for the Toon, now black leaders seem to be slipping away. Perhaps Missus Clinton needs to work on her cadence more?

"I'd don'ts feels no ways tired..."

[Guenevere]

Free Republic is a bastion of conservative freedom!

[kassie]

Well done.

[Guenevere]

:>)
..Thank-you ma'am

[xsmommy]

and may it stay ever so!

[xsmommy]

look at you using two for one! and yes, i agree, i think that was the intent. it was the pinprick [okay, maybe it was a blow-hole, actually] to release some of the pent up tension that has been building here the past few months.

[xsmommy]

that woman is a parody! i heard that phony black accent again yesterday. how odd is she????

[SoothingDave]

I don’t need to show you any steenking bastions!

[xsmommy]

she’s married to a bastion of perversion.

[NeoCaveman]

She panders like her husband, but without the charm. I’m half suprised she didn’t show up to that conference dressed as Aunt Jamima....
