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....

[Constitution Day]

He is an "Anti-Freeper WEEPER" and a total dork.
In the lingo of the Sopranos, "he's dead to me".

But Mykdsmom and I did joke about him and wondered if AC had a restraining order out. ;)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Good pass it on.

[NeoCaveman]

In the lingo of the Sopranos, "he's dead to me".

When is the next Sopranos season? The fourth was a little dull but I'm still looking forward to it?

[Conspiracy Guy]

With my Boston Whaler you can surf fish.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I am trying to teach 7th grade math and all the way from my living room I heard you calling me ....... Sopranos..... did I hear Sopranos?

[Constitution Day]

Hmmm, well I have never tried it from a boat. Maybe I will, thanks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Need a shallow draft boat and ane person committed to operating the boat only.

[doubled]

The demorcrats will just abhor
This story coming through the door
Those Dubya M D's
The Kuwatis siezed
Will make the dems drop to the floor!

(Okay, I know the story doesn't say they siezed any, but one can hope. Also, be prepared, this story took a long time to load up on my computer for some reason.) Test

[Constitution Day]

Yeah, last season was a bit flat in places.

HBO's Sopranos page shows that they are re-running Episode 40 on Oct. 5th.
I guess they will re-run all of last season just before the new season starts; they did that last year.

I couldn't find when the new season starts, at least not on their site.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well I'm ready....... I've missed "the family"....

[Constitution Day]

Hey, I did a little more digging, and on Sopranoland.com, I found this news dated June 23, 2003:

"The new air date for Fifth Season episodes is now March 2004.
And the even better news for fans is that there WILL be a Sixth Season!
In addition to Steve Buscemi, Robert Loggia is also an official new Sopranos cast member.

Greetings.

I normally abhor posting yet-to-be-verified stories, but this little item is pretty interesting. Maybe it'll pan out, maybe it won't, but I was desperate to find a news story without the words "Joseph Wilson" in them.

[white rose]

Have I also mentioned that I really, really abhor it when people beat me to the punch? :-)

[xsmommy]

i agree. and if you screened for the words RUSH LIMBAUGH, all you were left with was the thread about the Four breasted NZ woman....

[Conspiracy Guy]

If I came up with a line of greeting cards like, "HillBilly Greetins" or "Rednek Ramblins" do yuz guys think people would buy em?

Boy the server is hosed.

[xsmommy]

i thought it was just me, are you getting the internal server error msgs too?

i shore do think people'd buy such a card!

[Texan5]

I don't see why not. I would.

[Texan5]

I'm getting them too-it must be the server.

[white rose]

And the singing mushrooms!

[xsmommy]
