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....

If the clumsy musician drops her bow in the cello, she becomes inviolable.

Oh fiddle! You can do better than that, Robert...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Mom is wacky.

[Laura Earl]

Amen!

No they taste like Rattlesnake. Which tastes like chicken.

Which is why chicken always tastes like rattler to me.

I doubt it will pass anyway once people get to vote on it. There were "Vote NO on Amendment One" signs everywhere in Randolph county and my MIL said that she doesn't think it'll pass either because everyone she knows seems upset over it as well.

BTW I realized I was in a true southern town last week when I went to the local grocery store... in the checkout lines there were 3-4 different gun magazines and some NASCAR magazines but only a few magazines for women (almost all of which were fitness mags.) I couldn't even find Us Weekly (my favorite) anywhere in town. Most freeper men would love Wadley I think.

I should bow to your better judgement, but 'tis better bend the truth than brake a string of successes.

[Eala]

Now you're really stretching it...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Chicken tastes like bullfrog which is why it is mistaken for rattlesnake.

[Conspiracy Guy]

No Wadley is dry. Other than that a great small town.

My favorite sign is "George Bush giveth and Bob Riley taketh away."

Now you're really stretching it...

You'd think we were stringing this subject along weigh, but I'm too tense to bring up such a heavy matter.

[Laura Earl]

Make sure you go to our locale comments and vote against Riley using the Capitol phone system to promote his little plan.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Fried is fried.

Here is a heavy (but very interesting) article ...

'I can't give up'

Excerpt:

GRANBURY - The nurse wasn't the first person to ask his weight. The question crossed the mind of perhaps every patient in the medical clinic's waiting room the moment he filled the doorway, a huge man dressed for the sweltering heat in a catalog-ordered cotton T-shirt, size XXXXXXXXL, and a pair of XXXXXXXXXL shorts.

Pushed along in a wheelchair by his 79-year-old stepfather, Mike Laird felt the sidelong glances.

On public display, he ignored the outright stares.

How heavy is he?

Laird told the nurse that he weighs "probably 650."

That's just a guess.

"I may be 700 pounds."

Morbidly obese, Laird can't walk unassisted.

Been there the NO's are winning by huge margin.

[MeekOneGOP]

I shoulda posted this with that link and excerpt:

[Laura Earl]

No big surprise. I guess we are all going to hell!

[honeygrl]

"No Wadley is dry. Other than that a great small town. "

That doesn't stop anyone there from drinking anyway though. I know it didn't stop hubby and I when we lived there. You can even buy moonshine right outside the county line to the south of Roanoke. (or you could a few years ago)

[honeygrl]

lol that's a good one! I didn't see those anywhere. Every sign I saw was the blue sign just telling people to vote no.
