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....

Even roaches know when to hide.

Au revoir, mes amis mort! Nous, les vivant, garde la foi toujour.
(Good bye fallen friends! We, the living, will keep the faith forever.)

Loan Palm (Loan Palm)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he’d see
People stand in line to post the first thing.

(Loan Palm) How’d you get so funky?
(funky Palm) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (Loan Palm).

(Loan Palm) Now, if I’d known
they’d line up just to see you,
I’d trade in all your money
And buy you a new limo. (Loan Palm)

Messing with a donkey (funky Palm)
He’s my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (Loan Palm)

Dancin’ by the Nile, (Disco Palm)
The ladies love his style, (waltzing Palm)
Rockin’ for a mile (rockin’ Palm)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He’s an Egyptian
They’re sellin’ you.

Now, when I die,
don’t think I got no qualm,
don’t want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole Loan Palm. (Loan Palm)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Naked in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
Loan Palm!

True, but how do we reach the democrats?

Due to civilized peoples' dislike of the unsavory elements of the hip-hop crowd, let the revanchism begin against the "racist" citizens who only wish to keep their community safe & free of crime. Hip Hop Thugs

well... no one will post a song for me...(snif!)

staggering to the wet bar, noticing the "Closed in commeration of September 11" sign, cursing, and resorting to the hip flask, cast about looking for the old thermos...

Oh yes I'll, tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I wanna hork your hand,

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me post my spam
And please, say to me
You'll let me hork your hand.
Now let me hork your hand,
I wanna hork your hand.

And when I hork you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah you've, got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I wanna hork your hand,

And when I hork you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeh, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something
I wanna hork your hand,

While some of it from the early days was not too bad (although a little silly), the majority today simply glorifies crime, drugs, and immorality. People then wonder why the people who listen & flock to hip-hop music are themselves criminals & thugs....what you listen to & immerse yourself in dramatically affects how you live, think, & behave.
