The dictionary says “dead pledge.” I don’t know the terms of medieval banking. They didn’t cover that at CMU. ;-)

[tioga]

Wow.

[tioga]

You are strolling down Memory Lane today. A++

[tioga]

I am betting they don’t serve dirty dogs to those fans. A+++

Quinn was talking about this on the radio this morning. Pat Boone is now a controversial counter-cultural figure.

[tioga]

Pat Boone? Controversial? Well, he supports Logar. I thought he was just a silly OF?

[mikrofon]

Most likely to the bathroom ....

[tioga]

OMG.....can't stop LMAO...

Your point as to Obama's dearth of goodness is well taken. What I was alluding to in describing him as a "bon vivant" was his penchant for wallowing in sybaritic splendor.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[afraidfortherepublic]

I like that definition! If only my debts would expire when I do!

[afraidfortherepublic]

YOUR point is well taken. But he's such a sour puss when subjected to criticism, or is not the center of attention, that I have a hard time applying vivant to his personality for any reason.

Happy Star Wars Day everyone!

May the Fourth be with you!

[SoothingDave]

I was told there would be no French...

That's what she said.

[NeoCaveman]

[NeoCaveman]

May the Fourth be with you!

That means we must be close to the Fifth.

I'll drink to that.

[count-your-change]

Very possibly aboard the Bon Homeboy.

No paying work today, but I’m getting the info I need to give the contractor I do work for together, so not a wasted day...

With outrageously expensive clothes
Adorning her fat posterior
Michelle Antoinette demands that
Everyone thinks she’s superior

But no matter how many trips
She takes to Spain to eat quiche
She won’t become a bon vivant-
She’ll always be nouveau riche

Let her eat lobster and truffles-
She’s still a grifter and a phony
If her taste matches her clothes
It might as well be bologna

so at least i know i won’t be banned for voting for Romney. Thanks, i hadn’t seen that.

[xsmommy]

i am relieved. NO ONE i know is enthused about Romney, EVERYONE is voting for him out of desperation, and in my case it’s because the Sup Ct is vitally important. It’s virtually guaranteed that there will be 2 vacancies in the next 4 yrs. Do i want a known babykiller nominating the likeminded for LENGTHY terms? no, i do not. Romney is our only shot at pro-life jurists.

[xsmommy]

OMG Virgil Goode proponents? seriously, people need their heads examined.
