Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Since there is a botany reference in the definitions, it poses the question:

Can a fungus be fugacious?

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

I had a fugacious dream last night that included three Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleaders, one porn star, and a few geishas.

[xsmommy]

yikes, truthy, what did you have for dinner that got you so worked up???

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Sushi. (Well, that explains the geishas.)

Howdy all. Here is an edible fugacious plant for the day.

Don't you love me? I'm a fun guy.

[xsmommy]

for some reason it doesn’t look as appetizing coming up from the ground like that! much as a steak doesn’t look appetizing when walking around attached to a cow ; ) A+++

[xsmommy]

i DO love you! : )

[Silentgypsy]

Because of my black thumb, I need to find a non-fugacious weed to transplant to my front yard to replace the unsightly weeds that are already there.

T5, this from Twitter, was custom made for you this morning.
David Burge ‏@iowahawkblog 17m Congratulations, journalism. You have morphed into one big Richard Nixon. #Benghazi

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Nope! Not touchin’ this one! Too fugacious!

My Spell czech doesn’t like that word.

[xsmommy]

try a spell bosnian ; ) A+++

[xsmommy]

i like vinca for that. i plant it in my flower beds and at least in the front it has choked out any weeds. It flowers too.

The liberal brain is quite spacious
Intelligent thoughts are fugacious
But their urge to debate
Is apparently great
Lacking logic, they’re vile and loquacious
