Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.
There is no example today, so have at!
Blithely they blunder
Our taxes they plunder
The dems go under
Becoming but chund…er.
Hehehehehe

doing great, teach. the only accidents he has had, have been the fault of xsbrownie and xsboy who do NOT take him out and are transfixed by a cartoon while he squats right in front of them! xsteen is an excellent caregiver and she is home this week, having finished up her summer class.

I was so happy at Flurrette's graduation yesterday that I was a blithering idiot. I even complimented Xwife on her hair. Now I have two kids with BS degrees. I was born full of BS.

Bishop Shaw takes a
blithe approach when asked for theology to back up his premise that gay bishops are just dandy.
