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....
xshub has had it with the media coverage and feels that paternno is taking far more grief than the perp! That he’s out walking loose is an outrage.
Yeppers, taking an extra day to do some chores, clean out my car (in hopes my new car arrives today). I just had a case of “i don’t wanna”. :-)
oh look, an exchange student has chimed in, in broken english ; ) A+++
A+++
Oooo, what kind of car you getting?
Thank you! I figured I had to work in my BC on my 43rd b-day!
pick a fight over WHAT? they have no leg to stand on!
Oh I agree. Had this been brought against Joe Citizen, he'd be in jail.
They let him out on a signature bond!!!! SIGNATURE BOND! It's enough to blow my top.
I really wish they would focus more on Sandusky. Paterno... (shakes head). This whole cover-up of Sandusky.. since 1998, it's just .. (shakes head again). I don't get it.
People were hoping that he’d save his family and everyone else the shame/horror of a trial by offing himself. That doesn’t appear to be on his agenda.
The idea that obama is the President of the United States is totally lacking in verisimilitude.
obama neither looks, acts, nor functions like a President or even an American.
true dat. Veris dat! A+++
That is a really nice looking car SD. Really nice. :-)
Nothing as snazzy as what you are selling!!
I’m getting a 2012 Honda Fit, Sport Edition. I had to claim it while it was still being manufactured. There aren’t any to be found. It should be here this week. Today would be the extreme early side of this week.
It’s going to be red. I’ve never owned a red car before. LOL
WTH?! Who is advising the idiot-in-chief?? Seriously? Calling the US business people lazy??!!
The democrats wouldn't know how to speak with verisimilitude if it came up and bit them on the ass!
Yeah, but your new car has 10 cup holders! The T-bird has zero. You should never be parched.
I get that a lot!
A+++ there’s no listening to any of them without screaming profanity aloud.
oh good for you! new cars are fun!
we can’t get enough truthy in here!
