Thieves caused a bobbery when they stole the electrical wires lighting up a non-profit Christmas display. Proceeds from the display in a park were diminished when they had to replace $2500 in electrical cords.

Were it not for the bobbery of Congress, its approval rating would be in the negative.

I thought bobbery was when you stole the little spool of thread in the bottom of a sewing machine.

Much bobbery currently underway re: Cain & his actions and much unknown about his short term political future.

morning tioga and all of you who visit. My thanks to the morning posters who rotate responsibility.

Been doing Words for Friends on both Facebook & my iPhone. A little tool aimed at keeping the grey brain cells hopping around productively

I drop in and lurk on occasion & always enjoy the clever minds when I do.

Happy Christmas season to you all!

Bobbery? Is that when the British policemen commit a crime? Like a bobby-robbery?

I think it’s the foolishness that prevents the English cops from carrying guns....bobbery.....when the hoodloms are armed and the cops aren’t.

A+

Sigh. Me too. I was really feeling hopeful with Cain, I thought that this country really needed someone with CEO experience to help revitalize the economy by ditching the stupid over regulation. Alas, alak (alack?), I am left with nuthin. The choices that remain are completely unpalatable to me.

"NicknamedBob gets his own special day to shine!"

I'm predicting disappointment.

I'm accustomed to government bobbery,
Their tradition of arcane cobbery,
But to balance what's spent,
They take money that's lent,
And funding is highway robbery.

If you’re going with “nuthin” does the spelling of “alack” really matter? ;-)

Yes, I have. I own a sewing machine. Just want to give all my students a chance to chime in. I will call you, too.

Obama supporters get slobbery
There is qvelling and fainting and bobbery
They think he is The One
But he’s being undone
By incompetence, smugness and snobbery
