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....

I've hung out in some sleazy joints in my life - but I have never "witnessed" that - although I have been informed it occurred in more than one place................and exactly how you describe it.

I'm sorry, but I have NEVER been that drunk.

Home made Kahlua? Will you share the recipe, or is it secret?

[honeygrl]

Wimps! I would've let hubby atleast enjoy a few minutes of the live show before leaving.

[xsmommy]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that must have been hilarious!

[Gabz]

That stunt with the rear legs:

All I can think of when I see that is the packages of frogs' legs in the supermarket!!!!

[honeygrl]

Now I need to invite myself to someone's Halloween Party so I have an excuse to buy a fun new outfit.

[xsmommy]

[MeekOneGOP]

"Texans for Sale or Rent"

[To the Roger Miller tune, Trailers for sale or rent] ...

Texans for sale or rent / Having our room service sent / Lounging ‘round by the pools / Playing our whole state for fools ....

We know every lawyer in every court / And all of their partners, and all of their torts / And every hangout, in every town/ And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around ....

Texans for sale or rent ....

And there is MUCH more to it than just that song parody. Check it out ...

[Gabz]

I will be more than happy to share the recipe - as soon as I find it.

I know exactly which box it is in - but the box happens to still be in storage.

It's really an easy recipe and is primarily vodka, water, sugar and instant coffee - but over the years a friend and I have managed to fine-tune the proportions to where I even prefer it to the real stuff.

I once saw a Lewinsky being administered in a car at the parking lot at Jarry Park (where the Expos played before the 1976 Olympics) in the early 70's. The worst I saw in public was in 1973, an old college buddy of mine and I took a couple of young ladies up Mount Royal in the middle of Montreal one night (it was dark, but well before midnight). We got to the top of the stairs, and 5 yards away in the grass were a couple of homosectionals going at it. Not orally. Yuck!

Now THAT is my definition of a really frivolous lawsuit. I'm not sure even California can top that one.

[Laura Earl]

Blech!

Once I was leaving a mall, and just as I got in my car, I noticed a man parked diagonally from me. He had his truck door open, and was looking at me. By the way, he was stark naked and playing with his weiner at the time.

[Texan5]

Ewwwww! That is the worst I've ever heard. Bet that ruined the evening quickly for you and your dates.

[xsmommy]

hey, i ain't complaining but i haven't seen ANYTHING!! thank the Lord.

[Argh]

I wonder how such pathetic people can live with themselves.

[Texan5]

That happened to me a cuople of times when I used to park in a garage where I worked. I found that if you point and laugh at a flasher, he will usually run away.

[Laura Earl]

I later learned that he was a regular attraction in that parking lot. Pathetic is right!

[Laura Earl]

Yeah, they are usually very cowardly. I reported this idiot to 911, and got out of there.
