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....

Not when you're the pet, xsimpromptooutoftowner!

Did you have a good time?

[Slip18]

I spelled impromtu incorrectly, or did you? Ah, heck, I'll look it up. You're right; I'm wrong.

I'll will write "impromtu" on the back blackboard 100 times.

[TheGrimReaper]

No.

[Slip18]

"I'll will . . ." Sheesh, fingers and brain are rusty here.

Maybe it's the paint fumes. Do you think?

Cyber and I worked the State Fair this weekend for the Republican Party. We had a blast. I got to meet a former Senator of AZ, Evan Mecham. We bought one of his books, and he autographed it. His story of his Senatorship is a story of intrigue. Can't wait to read it.

i am the proud owner of a JIM TRAFICANT yard sign. i drove back from PA with it in my back window. and it is going to go up in my yard. My brother brought it for me from his distict, at great peril to himself, as he lifted it from a Traficant supporter's yard, and Lord knows, they are all mafia connected....

[Slip18]

You've got Jimbo in your front yard! Love it!

We got a whole lot of Matt Salmon For Governor yard signs. The election is getting closer . . .

[CholeraJoe]

I still have my "Ax Max" bumper sticker on my monster truck. My Mike Taylor yard sign got blown away by the wind.

[Slip18]

Did FR have a little blip there?

"My Mike Taylor sign is blowing in the wind.
The sign is blowing in the wind."

Oops. Sorry. Just a little tuneage from the Sixties.
