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....

Holy crap! I may have to re-think my strategy here.

I know........air strikes!

[EODGUY]

Ummmm, good one ric.....any suggestions how to get orange juice out of a keyboard? I wiped it off the monitor screen quite easily.

[EODGUY]

Please excuse me for not addressing the subject of your post RAC, but I trust you celebrated your 25th anniversary appropriately last night, particularly in view of the grueling exam you endured on the same date.

[EODGUY]

Don't let XS hear you say that....although I think it is a great idea and spectacular strategy!

"Don't let XS hear you say that...."

I thought it was a requirement that Freepers love Condi.

We love Condi, but xs must be restrained from Dick.

[EODGUY]

XS has a special fondness for GW, Rumsfeld and IMHO particularly Richard Cheney. She is very possessive, and defensive when Richard's name is mentioned in any manner other than the most respectful or endearing.

I just wanted for forewarn you.

[ricpic]

In that case thank G I didn't post:

"....xs must be restained from Dick."

Not touching that.

[EODGUY]

I must leave again but first I would like to thank everyone for the birthday greetings.

God bless all of you,

Despite his oppression of freedom loving plebeians in his own country, Fidel Castro still has his loyal cheerleadsers, like Danny Glover.

It's cold outside with no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone, more or less
I want to fly far away from here
Fun, fun fun in the sun, sun sun

I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh Mango juice
Goldfish shoals nipping at my toes
Fun, fun fun in the sun, sun sun

[xsmommy]

well it would be rather unseemly if you did ; )

I thought everyone had Cheneymania. Brilliant men are muy macho.
