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....

I was forced to watch "Friends" and "Scrubs."

You are aware that being forced to watch either Matt Leblanc, or Jennifer Aniston attempting to act, is a violation of the Geneva Convention....

tell me why men still need to prove their sports ability in their DOTAGE??

Give the man a break, He is just sore from lack of regular Activity. If he plays regularly, not only will he not be stiff, But a little intense competition on a regular basis does wonders for the regular life stress levels....

As much as I love working out at the Gym, Playing something against someone else, is infinitely more entertaining.

I watch it to humor the wife. She's hopelessly in love with Matthew Perry. I kinda like Scrubs. Dr. Cox reminds me a lot of me.
