Word For The Day 4/26/02
The Verbivores | Sappho Day | Hobbes, The Good Sub!

Posted on 04/26/2002 5:02:09 AM PDT by hobbes1

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

Happy Sappho Day!

"when Mr. Miyagi shows Daniel how to Wax On with his Left hand, then watches as he wax off with his right?...

Is that because he's Crusin' for a switch hitter?

well with an equal close up of the holly person's head, one could compare, if one were not blinded by the lust for the body. suzyQ could have a killer body for all you know.

Getting an early start oh striped one?

A subject of mythos and magic
And efforts good, bad, and comic.
You don't need a tune
To rhyme words with June.
Each month the moon waxes poetic.

SuzyQ could have a killer body for all you know.

Oh yes, I am sure she could be the Physical equal of a much younger woman, that spends her days plaaying professional volleyball at the Beach.NOT!

One suspects Suzys talent runs more along the Golfball, Garden hose vein.

p.S. She is so bad looking that the Time story about her and Jack Welch contained only a Pic of Welch. That should tell you something.
