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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Btw, the Baby Tattoo thing turned out to be nothing more than a vafrous joke:
Snopes.com
Claim: The Baby Ink body art chain specializes in tattooing babies and children.
Status: False.
Origins: Yet another web site has sprung up for the sole purpose of shocking the unsuspecting:
Baby Ink, purporting to represent "a body art chain to cater to toddlers and children" where babies as young as
6 months can receive tattoos. This one is easily exposed as a leg-pull:
- The domain registration info is bogus (an address of "1234 ABC Lane" and a non-working phone number).
- None of the putative Baby Ink locations listed on the web site include phone numbers, nor is any address or phone number information for "Baby Ink" available through directory assistance or phone directories in the cities named. Why go to all the trouble of operating a business and putting up a web site, only to make it impossible for potential customers to contact you? (Hint: actually listing phone numbers would have made this site too easy to identify as a hoax, so they were omitted.)
- The addresses listed for the various Baby Ink locations are phony as well. 743 Rainier Ave. in Seattle is the address of a Wal-Mart store, as is the 2301 Wellesley Ave. address in Spokane. 4101 Crenshaw Blvd. in Los Angeles is a Macy's department store.
The web site of the babyink.com domain's registrant,
Channel933, confirms that the Baby Ink site was an April Fool's joke.

Morning teach. I had to promise NYCGOPLMNOP not to talk about privates today. I was in USAF, we didn't have privates they were airmen. I was a SGT when I got OUT. CJ was a GENERAL.

Whoa, a guy named Terrance Wilkinson vafrously befriended Doug Thompson from Capitol Hill Blue. He was the guy quoted this past week in the story that claimed proof that the Administration lied about the intelligence to start the Iraq war. Turns out he was a
FRAUD. i read the thread on this the other day with Freepers questioning this guys authenticity and i saw Doug Thompson come to the thread and vouch for the Wilkinson character. Now, at least he had the integrity to write the story of being conned.

Nah. They are *so* gay, so it's genetically impossible for them to do bad hair!
Anyway, I gotta get off my lazy ass and take a shower...Behave yourself while I'm away!
To: Flurry
What soft spot?
To: RikaStrom
Conservatives always tend to view liberal policies as vafrous, that there's an aspect to their thinking which is beyond our grasp, when in fact it is usual that the liberal thinking behind them is as stupid as it sounds.

I didn't *try* to catch her belching, but when I happened to snap that photo, she was burping. These young guys standing near me thought it was *so* funny, not only that she belched, but that I got it on film! :)
And if you want to scorch your retinas and gouge out your own eyes, feel free. ;)
To: RikaStrom
why not just take thebottle?
