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. .

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.
RULES: You must know how to read and write. Comprension only counts as a portion of your grade.
I'm sorry if I didn't get all of the new students. I didn't keep track of all y'alls.
I heard she cried today.
I feel shadenfreude.
OMG! I can’t believe you said that!
I agree. Get rid of her now.
And in other news, it's the Apoclypse
I always have to ping xs to the "proof the world is coming to an end threads"
You feel shadenfreude. I feel happy. And I bet all the travel folks she fired when she was in the White House are tippling quite a lot today.
The GOP is a clusterHuck.
and she is sniffling in NH? with EMOTION not a cold. that cold witch has no sincere feelings. none.
Then she’s tearing up for votes.
Not that that worked for Ed Muskie.
She’s Muskie in a pantsuit.
there will be bodies hitting the floor long before she exits. i suggest that be her new campaign song, let the bodies hit the floor....
I was thinking “Boys don’t cry”
lordy! a pittsburgh hobag teacher yet????
A guilty yinzer.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! Proof positive the end is near. what happened with MR o AND the obama person? i didn’t see much tv this weekend. saw some of last nights debate though
thanks for subbing miss slippy, so i can spend more time with xsteen!
I don’t remember if muskie came off as authentic or not, but hil is incapable of authentic emotion, other than PURE RAGE. if she is bawling, she is faking. if she is throwing things and raging at what is happening, that is genuine feeling.
This is an interesting choice of words. I have to finish a few things around here and then I’m heading to Fort Lauderdale, where I will tipple a couple of tipples while discussing a possible class to teach with my friend who manages the bar and is a firearms instructor.
Home from work and getting ready to cook chicken picatta-
Hillary’s bubble is shattering
The cracks are beginning to show
Instead of tippling champagne
She may soon be eating crow
Even Edwards is passing her
Without making much of a fuss
And that upstart guy Obama
Has thrown her under the bus
All McCauliff’s strategies
And the pimping by X42
Aren’t helping her-so maybe
We’ll see the fall of the other Hsu
-am I alone in hoping she manages to hobble over the finish line the dem winner? I think Obama will be harder to topple than her.
