Trump’s presidency will be renowned for its Biblical transformation of government. Our lucubrative Constitution is the foundation of our state. We have been a thoughtful, deliberate, and reasoned people. Trump will make it so again.

After great lucabration, all my suggestions for dealing with the mainstream media still involve lubrication.

Thank you for joining the WFTD Team. We ping-listers appreciate it.

I, for one, know what lucubration is required to produce an ongoing daily thread!

Luca Brasi was a fictional character in the first "Godfather". He was a big, mean, vicious SOB...fiercely loyal to Don Corleone. Luca was strangled by a rival crime family. Very gruesome scene. The Don received a package with a fish wrapped in it indicating Luca now "sleeps with the fishes".

What xsexmommy does in the privacy of her kitchen with her salads and salad dressings is certainly a matter of intense discussion and much cucumlubrications among the parties concerned.... But, technically speaking, it is also probably not somethong she’d want discussed in pubic (er, public.)

How my high-school gym teacher would have pronounced “lubrication”.

No, Paul Ryan is not dead in this picture, nor is he napping, but is just in intense lucubration, trying to figure a way get at least one accomplishment completed before he is legally declared dead.

After study and deep meditation
Which amounted to true lucubration
They put down their bong
And crafted this song
Which bears virtually no real relation.

Two, almost too easy, rhyming Word for the Day haikus:

From Dems, this nation
need have no expectation
of lucubration.

Dems screw this nation
with zero lucubration
(or lubrication).

[Red Badger]

Excellent! Double A+++!.............

[dsc]

One thing we have learned as a nation
That as bad as it is to be Haitian
It is infinitely worse
To be stuck in a verse
For a word that can rhyme with lucubration.

Funny! A+!......................

In their initial encounter, Anakin Skywalker AKA Darth Vader gave his son
Luke abrasions (and worse), despite prior Jedi lucubration of Obi-Wan Kenobi...

Lots of lucubration as to what is up at FNC lately none of it good. i was telling my husband that with the combined $$$ of hannity, coulter, oreilly, beck etc. they could surely afford to start their own channel. My husband said that undoubtedly there would be pressure on cable companies to NOT carry such a channel. I don't know, something has to happen because it is just amazing that our biggest balled, biggest mouthed conservatives are being shut down by the moronic fascistic left.
