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....

Arghy, you do a great service to all men here by posting that.......showing them how to treat their women!

[hobbes1]

well wait til i clue her in to bag salads and weenie meals...

She wouldn't be willing to take the requisite beatings that would commence the first time it hit the table.

...Just in case you were wondering why Clinton has not had the time to moil on those memoirs he keeps threatening us with...

Not a particularly interesting story in itself, I know, but I just find myself wondering what this "aide" of his puts down as his "occupation" on his tax forms. I can't imagine he's honest enough to describe himself as "Post-Presidential Pimp," but what else can he say?

[RikaStrom]

Think Positive. McKinney has not had a good showing lately.

Yes, Argh is a true humanitarian.

[xsmommy]

i think she could take ya.

[RikaStrom]

Garden?? I don't moil in soil!

[xsmommy]

Bella said Stone's was Raheem. Sheesh! they are some unisex names aren't they? when i used my middle name, which is ANN, i got BUCKWHEAT! come on!

[Argh]

MOILs /bad spelling, are the ones that perform circumcisions....

I was just getting all psyched up to use the word "mohel" for homework and thus ensure another patented F-quad, when I read your stick-your-big-nose-in remark here. Thank you.

By the way, I don't know if they let women become mohels, but if you decide to try that instead of shystering, you'll be able to practice on all those weenies you keep over at your joint.

[xsmommy]

you don't? i love planting stuff. must be my eastern european grandmas' influence. they always had gardens. But i don't do veggies, just flowering plants.

gabz, i forgot to ping you to the poll re;garden gloves.

[xsmommy]

yep, i like slicing and dicing them....

[Argh]

It seems more than one of us thought of mohels today, which I'm pleased to see from TSSYF's post should be "mohelim", not "mohels". Thanks, Truth.

[RikaStrom]

Uck, I really don't like Naomi, she's got a heck of an anger problem. But she an Billious are perfect for each other. Band can just say he's eclectic escort. ;-)

Yes, Argh is a true humanitarian.......

I think that is why he is not married, his value to mankind is too great to limit it to one woman........that, or he is just smarter than the rest of us........

[xsmommy]

truthy, you have enriched us today with your show and tell.

[Argh]

snicker...

Homework:

The democraps' efforts (and their minions in the national press corpse) to plow up muck from the Enron scandal unto the Bush adminstration is certainly an example of trying to turn moilhills into mountains.

I expect their efforts will continue to immoiloilize thier natural hate-filled anti-energy constituents in the environmental groups though.

[xsmommy]

where is grimmy today? i thought of him this AM, as i got into the Montero to drive to work, it is necessary to hike my skirt up to get in there, when i have a straight skirted dress on. Ya missed your chance, grimmy!

[Argh]

snort...
