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....

Good Morning and welcome!

OH MY GOD! It had to have been OPH and the Cali Gal, donchathink? They completely took over MY thread!

[.30Carbine]

Ooops! That's SCalGal! Okay, soon-to-be-given-the-coveted-coquette-status Girlie, what gives? Was #519 yours...or his? Hmm?

[.30Carbine]

Just what WOULD you have done with $100 at the container store? Me, I'd go for the big tubs.

[Argh]

No, it apparently was from someone named "important message" it appears, probably some joker from left field, if you get my drift. Signed up today and already banned. I still don't know what he/she/it wrote, maybe dubya remembers.

[RikaStrom]

I think organizational boxes and stackable trays! LOL

[xsmommy]

what number was pulled? nothing was pulled while i was here.

[SCalGal]

That post wasn't ours. It was someone else's post.

[xsmommy]

i guess i was still here, looks like dubs replied to it. it must not have been noteworthy if no one can remember it?

[SCalGal]

It was pulled so quick, I never saw what it was.

[xsmommy]

dubs retort says something about janet reno in it, i don't get it.

[SCalGal]

No doubt it's something that we really don't want to hear anyway.

[.30Carbine]

My money is on it being a picture of the Reno herself. I woulda yanked it if I was the Mod.

[RikaStrom]

It looks like it may have been one of the hit and run spammers. We haven't had one of them come into FR in absolute ages. They used to be fun to humiliate and scorn, then they were just juvenile.

They just don't make disruptors like they used to.

[SCalGal]

That's a pretty good bet, I'd say.

[SCalGal]

That's a pretty good bet, I'd say. More likely it was some sort of verbage/garbage, though....

[.30Carbine]

That is so true.

"We've been mild out here."

You've been what? LOL! I'll bet your FReepmails are on fire!!!

[Slip18]

"I was the first student into the Word for the Day classroom today."

Congratulations, .30. But you're special every day!

We hit 800, I think, just one time. That was when we were all in class early in the a.m. and bumped the thread up. It was hysterical.

I'm sure Cyber has it bookmarked somewhere. He and Roebucks (I miss my Roe) were shooting off bombs. We couldn't have summer school this year because they bombed the whole camp to smitherines.
