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....
I’m not in pain at all. Preseason has been pretty exciting. It’s fun to watch the young guys try out and push the vets. Preds fans are generally amused that we’re third in scoring. No one could have predicted that, especially us.
Hasn’t the evidence against her crumbled?
She’s out. Hide your sons.
Mornings in the 50’s, afternoons in the mid to high 80’s-perfect for being in the woods all morning, but I’d trade it for more work, gladly...
I’m both amused and appalled by
The paroxysms of false emotion
By the dumbass Wall St. protesters
And their clueless, blind devotion
To marching around and carrying signs
All unwashed and causing a stink-
It’s a game to these spoiled brats
Who ought to stop and think-
What would happen if mom and dad
Got pissed and asserted their right
To lock the doors and let them sleep
In Central Park on a bench tonight?
That is a GOOD poem!!! I don’t agree with it, but it is still a good poem!!!
I don’t usually have much sympathy for spoiled, sheltered idiot young people, however-
Much as I think she has a bit in commom with Casey Anthony, from the looks of the Italian “justice” system, I could wish it on an international terrorist, but not some clueless, spoiled American brat who probably didn’t even witness a murder, so matter what other stupid thing she did. No double jeopardy laws, juries hanging out with judges and the public, chatting about the case instead of being sequestered or at least under a gag order, etc-it is a circus worthy of the Roman Hippodrome for sure...
Well, thank you-I came of age in the early 70’s, so the sentiments are based on my knowing a bunch of people who are REAL hippies to this day-and they think those kids are laughable.
They are a natural pairing aren’t they?
“Knox vs Anthony” How about a cage fight-spoiled, sociopathic brat vs spoiled clueless brat-now that is what I call hell in a cell...
Actually, one or both of them will probably just end up being Tanya Harding’s new best friend on “America’s Dumbest”...
Wish I could claim credit, but I stole it from Twitter.
Is that a murderess?
And dosen't this prosecutor have some baggage on another case with allegegations of Satanic rituals?
LOL, on the Obligatory TGG “would you hit it’ thread Amanda Knox version, Amanda got 98 yeas, to 9 nays.
correction 68-9
I think Knox is more than clueless. They are teaming up with OJ to search for the true killers!
Figures you would be championing another hot little murderess. R rMFE. Her looks are really relevant to her culpability.
Proving once again that the discriminating men of FR will do anyone so long as she isn’t fat! RME
LMAO! I guess Casey and Amanda will have to take up golf if they want to hang with OJ-but at least Anthony already lives in Florida...

Are you watching “Prohibition” on PBS?
