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....

Obviously the MNF sideliner will be a flatsy tonight since Salma stole her favorite undergarment.

[Gabz]

Not reassuring at all.

Well it has finally quit raining - so I'm headed out to take care of my errands. The ones I had planned to have done by now - sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw that clip of grayout and x42 this morning on Fox, and nearly puked! And he's still spouting his favorite conspiracy theory, only now he's calling it a "power grab" instead of a right wing conspiracy. My hubby said he was amazed the jagoff wasn't zotted by a lightening bolt for just being in a church.

Among the Democrat "contenders", there is no need to adumbrate that Carol Moseley Braun is simply a dumb 'Rat.

[xsmommy]

heck she can use duct tape like that infamous pic that has been posted on FR previously, by Vast among others.

[Texan5]

Have a good day, Gabz.

[xsmommy]

hey, SG, let's you and me try to beat their record!!! you teeter, i'll totter ; )

Obviously the MNF sideliner will be a flatsy tonight since Salma stole her favorite undergarment.

I've got 2 to 1 that she will believe Shockey's explanation that he was referring to Parcells as a homo sapien.

She wants a man with balls, but then she says she wants a man "in touch with his feminine side". No wonder she hasn't found a man to her liking. A man with balls is not interested in getting in touch with his feminine side; he will be interested in getting HER feminine side in touch with HIS masculine side.

She should take out a personal ad: SHF searching for girly-man who has bigger balls than mine. (She won't find many takers)

Promise not to jump off while I'm in midair?

[xsmommy]

welllll.......; )

One always thought such partisan prosletyzing from the pulpit, endangered ones tax-exempt status.....

Only if you are part of the religious right. If you are part of the "mainstream" leftist church of the big welfare plantation, you get a pass on such partisan politicking.

[sonsofliberty2000]

Cool A+ and I even mispelled!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Very good point Robert......not to mention the 115 degree heat in August.........

[VRWCmember]

The headline Schwarzenegger Woos 'Oprah' Viewers adumbrated (1) the content of the article, which actually gave more coverage to clinton's shameless huckstering for grayout davis in a predominantly black church than to Arnold's appearance on Oprah's show.

I wrote this one for Dixie Sass but waited til she approved last line before posting. She says she doesn't mess with a poemist with a moose, tha I could go ahead. So....

Dixie Sass

Folks down south are friendly,
But we don’t take no crap.
Most of us like country,
But some of us like rap.
We like rock and classical,
We read and watch tube.
Some of us are scholarly,
Some at best a boob.
So come on down and visit,
We’ll treat you well with class.
But leave your liberal crap at home,
Or just kiss Dixie Sass.

We will be back through Houston (from Hobby) for the Baylor game/25th class reunion at A&M in a few weeks....

But (other than mosquitos!) Houston has little wildlife.

(Then again ... Rika may make up the wildlife department in Houston...)

(Rika may make up the wildlife department?)

(Rika may make it with the Dept of Wildlife?)

[Robert A Cook PE]

As Hillary adumbrates her intention to run for president in 2004 you know what she will do by listening to Bill. His speeches to help Gray Davis was actually stump speeches for Hillary. Note the many references to the 2000 Floriduh election and the action taken by the court.......what does any of that have to do with Californication?
