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....

Ok, it has been brought to my attention that some things were said somewhere else and were attributed to me and my feelings for WFTD. Originally, I was not going to be harsh, in fact I was going to apologize. Upon futher consideration though, I have decided I have nothing to apologize for. Let's take this step by step, shall we?

1. First off, I do not dislike WFTD nor do I dislike any of you. I rather do like you all quite a bit.
2. Second, I think my own thoughts, I have my own feelings. The person who I am with is NOT MY FREAKING SPOKESPERSON. Therefore, DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE ELSE'S WORDS ARE MINE. Believe it or not, even though I am female I do not rely on a male to provide my thoughts and feelings for me. People that do that are weak.
3. If you have any more ASSUMPTIONS or questions, you can FReepmail me, instead of having a FReepmail whisper-a-thon with each other, okie dokie?

Onto our WFTD.

neoterism\Ne*ot"er*ism\, noun:

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

I may break out the big puzzles today, if the rain returns. Lots of trees down, power lines down, 7000 without power now. Seven people killed in Jackson(halfway between here and Memphis) so we were lucky. We only have high water and some folks without power in this area. Whew!
And the kiddos would rather play Slap Jack than poker. ;)

Cringing at the screen, hoping the double entendres don't kick into high gear...

How long do you think it will be aproproate to mourn the passing of "the Man Show".....

[secret garden]

All that money and not a colorist in sight. :(

[hobbes1]

LMAO!!!!!

Neoterrorism is not pretty. In fact, it hurts a whole lot of people who care for each other, and have for a long time. We've supported each other through thick and thin. When someone speaks ill of WFTD, my skin crawls.

[Slip18]

I love Slap Jack. Be careful, though, Slap Jack can cause side effects.

[Slip18]

The democrat party is trying to reinvent itself, with the latest neoterism explaining how they were really behind the war all along. I’ll try to be terse. I’m no Norman Mailer, (you just don’t see it, Norm), or Ralph Waldo Emerson. It really ires me not to see Lieberman or Sharpton. I’m not an anti-semite nor a racist but the left merits one big laugh. Take any two of their candidates and insert Moe between them to create what the Germans call eine storm and what I call The Three Stooges.

Hillary, the undeclared candidate, watches the men sortie on C-Span, her haughty emir tones polluting the still air, as she tries ‘em on for size, and says that “real men rise to the occasion,” her sarcasm indicating that, in 2004, a mense riot of unseemly proportions will befall the earth in meteors of horror that will make Americans nostalgic for the semen riot that her husband subjected us to, diddling and fiddling with cigars and items Nero or Caligula could never have imagined.

Old Thunder Thighs ( i.e., Monster Butt), her dry skin only partially relieved by moistener applied in great gobs, writes note to self: "remit nose job money immediately so work on jowls may commence." Her screech speech the other night caused remotes in millions of hands everywhere to press millions of mute buttons. From her witch’s head down to her coal miner toes, Hillary emits Reno-like sounds that reverberate in an iron-meets-iron crescendo of lies and innuendo. She proudly proclaims, “The term ‘neo’ is now being applied to the vast right-wing conspiracy.” (Another note to self: "Omit sneer when smiling. Also, stop eating ere I’m tons overweight.")

“I spoke to the Pope when he came out against this war. I sent Rome a list of my positions (now that we’ve prevailed) and informed him that while it is a mere sin to go to war, it is a mortal sin to allow the Iraqi people to suffer. I met senior people in the Department of Defense, and, while I make no predictions, (a seer I’m not ) -- omens tire me out, it will soon be snore time for that little monkey in North Korea if he continues to threaten the women and children of this country.”

Holy Moley, Truthie. That was a mouthful.

The US census bureau has just stated, what i have said all along. Cleveland is a suburb of Pittsburgh. It is no longer just a neoteric phrase, used to irk dubs.

[Slip18]

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]
