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

Even living in Montana as I do, it's fairly hard to find. One grocery store has fresh ground bison every Saturday but usually sells out by mid afternoon. Restaurants will have buffalo filet or ribeye on special sometimes.

[Laura Earl]

Bet you can't find a grocery in Montana that has some of the pig parts we have in some places in Alabama. Blech!

[My back yard]

In New Mexico the democrats cower
Their cries more strident by the hour.
And making more obvious the undeniable:
For them, voter trust is not inviolable!

Good one!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Emu and Ostrich are good.

[CholeraJoe]

Actually, Montana produces hogs, too. If I wanted chitlin's or pickled feet I could get them.

[carlo3b]

That Damned Ted Turner has cornered the market in the stuff for his loser restaurants... #$^*%&

[Laura Earl]

Hope that a very big IF!

[Argh]

Football is stupid, period.

Oh, Yeah??

Well, in the morning, I'll still be ugly and you'll still be sober!

No, wait a sec...

[CholeraJoe]

They are indeed. Emu or Ostrich is much harder to find than buffalo. The birds don't like cold.

[honeygrl]

You like big butts...? That brings to mind a song that I don't want to have in my head all day.

[honeygrl]

Oooh I want that gun!! It's purty.

[CholeraJoe]

When I lived in Alabama, I ate those things. When I moved away, I discovered that it wasn't mandatory and never looked back.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Hedge Hog and Possum, grilled.

[Laura Earl]

Heck no I don't like big butts. I like baseball player butts.

Harry Shearer, who does the voices for certain characters on "The Simpsons," said the former vice president sounded like a "gay robot."

The Bush team manhood is inviolable
But the dem's is more mockable
Rummy is so hot
And Gore a gay robot
It's a wonder any of them is electable.

On another note, and at the risk of losing my good grade, I note that no one has pointed out the Miss Strom used the wrong word in her examples:

This movement, brought by the "leaders of the black community" are doing nothing to help race relations in this country, in fact, they are making sure that racial tensions are inviolate(2); never to be healed.

Inviolate hate

[Conspiracy Guy]

Both are plentiful here now. The problem is proessing. To be it's best both need to be prepared without ever being frozen.

[honeygrl]

You can find ANY pig part in some grocery stores in Alabama.

Hey, what do you guys think of that Amendment One thing going on there? I just read about that while there last week. I read the details and it doesn't sound too horrible. My only request would be to use some of the money on fixing the roads. They REALLY suck.

[Laura Earl]

CJ, I've lived in Alabama for almost 44 years, and have never touched any of that shiite!

[Conspiracy Guy]

It's great for targets and small game.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Can of Skoll in hip pocket?
