Tusday, MAY 1, 2007, EGRESS
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.
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
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.

This is my last day as being a subbie. SoothingDave will take my place. Maybe he can soothe my fingers at the same time.
May God Bless!

The article is about a mixed-use development of commercial and residential projects, but the one paragraph made me really wonder if I was eavesdropping on an intellectual mating ritual:
“I think it’s kind of hard to visualize the kind of ingress and egress that you’re proposing,” said Commissioner Nellavan Jeglum. “I too am in favor of something different that would cater to all the different needs. Ingress and egress is a big concern for me.”
Yeah, I bet it is, sister..............

Nice opus. A little short, and you didn’t use any profanity.
I’m sorry, it’s jsut not one for the record books.

Maybe you could dictate. I can still type, mostly, when my dyslexic fingers will let me.

The chicken delivers the rooster to who? What is this, some sort of henpecked pimping plot? Don’t digress else you will need to egres and stand in a corner.

The dems say Iraq’s a big mess
And we should pull out, just egress
I believe they’re in error
We must fight against terror
Moving forward, and never regress
