January 7, 2008, Monday, TIPPLE

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 the janitor’s closet for safekeeping. No one knew my secret, but there it is. 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 to A++++ or a quadruple minus F, depending on my mood. .

We’re having stuff falling out of the sky for two days. Then there’s the wind factor with the dust. Should be lovely.

Glad you’re getting our temperatures!

I haven’t been out of bed at this time of morning in over a year, except to get Cyber his coffee. ~yahn~

Obama is causing Hillary to tipple
She is cold, from her cankle to nipple
And she’s so full of sh!t
Her advisors should quit
And be replaced by that old Mr. Whipple

The last definition of the word reminded me of cow tipping. We’re really sick, Cook.

A++++ for you!

Sounds as if you’ve been cow tippling, Conor.

That was in the cartoon car movie we’ve seen a few times, but I can’t remember the name of it. The cars tipple/topple the cows.

Admit it, Cook. There are those of us who love footware and those of us who don’t.

We love shoes!!!

xs and girls have probably bought all the great ones out in VA. We don’t have the same footsies in AZ. We still have white shoes. LOL!
