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”.
Apolaustic
Adjective
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

OK. Then “yes,” it is a form of birth control.
why on earth would he shoplift? what an idiot. ...story would have been lots better if he had just gone skinny dipping.

Thanks, Moochie! We pretty much have to stay inside to play with the kitties. If you go outside for longer than ten minutes, you can get burned by ole Sol.
i don’t know, but i forwarded the article to xshub who was splitting a gut at the comments after the article.
I thought the Bruins was the college team from USC (or is that UCLA?).
About swimming: When we came down from the mountains you could see the Salt Lake and river. There’s a place where you can rent inner tubes. People were having a ball. I wanna go there next summer. Busses bring you to different stations, and you just tube back to your car.
UCLA Bruins. USC Trojans.
My first stepson went to USC. I should know better. Football has never been my thing, sad to say. And he was a ranked tennis player. In those days I could talk tennis, not now, though.
What’s an “ace”? LOL!
Thank you for the clarification!
In this case, though, the Bruins were the Boston hockey team.
I’ve been to exactly two hockey games in my life. The team in Los Angeles. It was fun. Hockey is ice, right? I did get a puck from one of the officials. Who knows where it is now.
I do have a lot of baseball and boxing stuff. I was in the March 5, 1971, Life magazine as a skiier, and on the front of Life was Frazier and Ali. Have one of Ali’s gloves, signed by Ali and underneath he wrote “aka Casius Clay.” Pretty special to me.
Ice hockey is played on ice, yes. ;-)
You didn’t say “ice,” SD. How the heck am I supposed to know?
I really only follow baseball which we are in about the last place for both National and American Leagues, and an itsy bitsy bit of basketball and that’s only if we get close to playoffs which happens maybe every ten years.
But if you want to talk about cooking of any kind, hey, I’m there.
Greatest....Post...Ever...
You two are so sapphoid out, it’s ridiculous. That is gross.
Unless one is a girl wearing a pleated skirt, hockey is on ice.
You mean like the skirts we wore in Catholic School? At Mater Dei in the heat of the summer, we wore pleated wool skirts, white collared shirt and a red long sweater. Oh, and you had to wear a long slip under all of that or you would get sent home. I think I would have loved to have played ice hockey in that heat.
Remember, I was born between two brothers.
Very likely the products of broken homes.
When I hear we have a thunderstorm on the way, it’s a chore preventing my apolaustic genes from dropping the task at hand to gather a cigar, scotch and sit by the open Garage door. One’s on the way, and now we even get Tornado warnings.
Alas, I am stuck in the office, sans cigar, sans Scotch.... (sigh).
yeah, that knuckles one was good...
