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....

tetchy\TECH-ee\, adjective:

Peevish; testy; irritable.

Etymology: Tetchy probably comes from Middle English tecche, "a bad habit," from Old French tache, teche, "a spot, stain, blemish, habit, vice."

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

But XS, as an officer of the court, I'm certain you would want to play according to the rules.

I am only on my back to accomodate your desire for the top.

[xsmommy]

[EODGUY]

Dubya, I saw a terrific tagline yesterday and I can't remember who wrote it but it said, "I may disagree with what your bumper sticker says, but I will defend to the death your right to stick it."

[hobbes1]

Since you like to PLAY dirty....

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

"I may disagree with what your bumper sticker says, but I will defend to the death your right to stick it."

[EODGUY]

Don't make it today, XS, I have to leave in about 15 minutes. I think the Hobbster is cookin' on all eight cylinders today.....today may be cage match time.

[NeoCaveman]

:-P

[xsmommy]

Hobbster is cookin'

yes he is a wonderful cook, and i think he also sews....

[EODGUY]

And do I have some folks I'm going to use that line on!

[Gabz]

Ouch - does not sound pleasant.

[EODGUY]

I'm giving you half a taunt on that one, XS. 7 1/2 yard penalty, still first down (and I'll bet the Hobbster is thinking, "XS is always the first one down".

I'm sorry about the comment, XS, I don't know what came over me.....temporary insanity, yeah, that's it. Would you handle my defense?

[NeoCaveman]

THe Maha Rushie, like so many of us is getting more than a little tetchy with all this diplomacy shiite.

"For instance, I'm deluged with these e-mails on this absurd Exxon-Mobil boycott to supposedly bring down costs at the pump. It's just too absurd for words. If your objective is to drive down gasoline prices, you know how you do it? Get on with this liberation of Iraq. If you want to get your job back and return to a semblance of normalcy, then let's get on with this. If you're sick and tired of hearing from Bill Clinton, Tom Daschle, Dominique de Villepin, Kofi Annan and Janeane Garafalo, then let's get on with this. Let's just do it. This isn't a lust for war. It's knowing that every day we waste means more deaths later. We have to move."

[xsmommy]

i forgive you the comment, EOD, it is a sad testament to how far he has fallen that he needs help in the riposte dept. ....sad....
