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....
interesting! A+++
That Rosen woman, is a lesbian, probably because no sober man would....well, you can see where that is going. ; )
This may be different for other lesbians you know, but.....
and so, no one wants to discuss the whoring SS in Colombia? what the hell is THAT about?
i.e. “I'll picayune Bobby”
All the agents in question have been transferred to the Can’t Keep a Secret Service.
Awwww, shucks! You’re excused. After all your garage was closed! (I wondered why taxes weren’t due today...)
A+++
Hillary getting down in the Cartagena, sucking off a bottle of God knows what! I have been to Cartagena, it is very pretty there. and AGUARDIENTE is the colombian spirit of choice.
it is clear that this group of gringas is all red in the face and animated. aguardiente is a clear liquid, flavored like licorice, and literally means BURNING WATER. if they are doing shots of it, it’s separate and apart from this which looks to be beer.
she will forever be Swillary to me now...
I’ve had a few picayune details to do with some banquets this morning.
one wonders why she is dancing with the wimmens instead of a nice caballero... In Colombia, i only danced with guys, and it’c customary for them to hold you and dance closely enough so as to “brillar la cintura” [polish the belt buckle
was Huma there to protect her virtue?
Huma isn’t a “stay at home mom” is she?
Perhaps the old Daily Picayune newspaper of New Orleans, a predecessor to today's Times-Picayune, was called that because of its price. In addition to being the word for the Spanish half real piece used in the South, "picayune" was also the nickname of the US half dime.
I checked in my stack of articles from old New Orleans Picayune newspapers and found that in February 1861 the yearly subscription price amounted to five cents per issue. When sold separately the price was six cents per issue.
dang, i forgot she gave birth to the Weiner’s child. what did they have again? she may still be on maternity leave.
Hard to believe based on the last few years that a Bylsma-coached team can be so abysmal. With the way things go in this league, I can certainly see him being the fall guy for this failure...
A+++ and an extra + for the bylsma/abysmal!
wouldn’t it be great if he came to the Caps?? i don’t care for Dale Hunter, hate the style of play. While i want them to make it further into the playoffs, i do not want him credited with success bc i think he sucks. if they go any distance at all, it will be despite him, and not because of him.
and the funniest thing, if my beloved would come to the Caps, would be the exploding xsgirls heads, bc they HATE bylsma!
