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”.
Eldritch
Adjective
[Perhaps Middle English *elriche : Old English el-, strange, other; see al-1 in Indo-European roots + Old English rce, realm; see reg- in Indo-European roots.]
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

The oceans began to recede and revealed the abnormal, non-Euclidian geometry of Cthicago and its gibbering, loathsome denizens—we had encountered the Eldritch Obama Nation.
Have you tried ABC’s “Don’t Trust the B- in Apt 23”?
I watched the first 2 episodes on Hulu the other day and it was actually pretty good. Quite demented.
The title character loves to befriend and torment fresh-faced newcomers to the city, stealing their money before sending them packing back home to Iowa or wherever. Oh, and James Van der Beek plays himself as one of her friends. Can’t quite break away from the “Dawson” thing.
Episode 2 airs tonight and it’s got some twists, to say the least.
I stayed up too late last night howling over those recipes. I am still laughing this morning. Care for some German Shepard Pie?
LOL A+++
abomination, obamanation.....same diff. A+++
I SAW that.....couldn’t stop laughing.
He was the Black Sheep of the family!
Tonight’s episode is really good. The show is fast paced and twisty-turny. I don’t know how long they can keep it fresh, but so far so good.
oh you think you are a laugh riot right there, don’t you? ; )
No, but I will have some Chow Chow Mein!
No, but I will have some Chow Chow Mein!
I did see the pilot The first one was pretty good - the previews made it appear the new roommate was going to be a doormat, but she fought back so it was pretty good. I will look for it when I have a free minute.
when the blonde sold all the B’s furniture I thought I would die laughing.

Yep, this is kinda earie for the nosey so to speak.
This elder itch comes up on a fella sitting around cogitatin’ on what he’s done in his whole life, things like being Honorary President of the Woodsman Association and a being a notary public too (except the second wife ran off with that Simms kid an took my notary stamp). Taking that stamp was plain hurtful.
Yep, a elder folk gets the itch to give back to the community, to do something for the less fortunate...so I went right out to the smoke house and got a pint of home brew. It’s earrie alright and killed off that itch complete.
How about some Chili Con Cairn for lunch?
I amuse myself. Others are free to join in.
A+++ Yep, gotta scratch those itches.
I feel like some Hound Cake.
