Word For The Day, January 15, 2013
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".

Fatuous
This is the shortened name of the school where weight loss trainers go: Fat University Of U.S., Fat U o U S.
Lots of heavy thinking happens there too!
I also missed the hair bands era - but my son is into that music now and we listen to it a lot on XM radio - so I’m beginning to “remember” it a bit.
i’ve recently rediscovered Classic Vinyl, 26 on XM, and am enjoying that lately.
Yo, Mooschelle ... Fatuous!
I still remember when he went to Texas and rode with GW. Rush was saying if Lance just says he supports abortion and opposes guns the left will make him a victim and all will be well. RME
Seems like earlier this year there were SEVERAL freepers claiming the accusations against Armstrong were bogus.... totally believed him.
Gloomy, 40 and breezy-a textbook cold winter day here-
Despite the lack of interest
By the people of this nation
Obama says fatuous nonsense
About his latest vacation
For most of those of heard him
It just served to make them mad-
As he gloats about enjoying many
Of the things they’ve never had
Things they can’t even dream of-
As they work, he takes their money
As he sets himself up like Nixon did-
When he falls, we’ll find that funny...
Y’all got me jamming with your 80’s music posts...
There was something dishonest about Armstrong-now we all know what it was...
Bike boys ? Who else would believe him? Or was it bc of his live strong deal? I’m sorry that doesn’t redeem him in my eyes. He’s a nasty piece o work!
I guess, given today’s theme that i should have linked to “Unskinny Bop”.
It’s fun to live in the past!
Indeed it is-especially the music-but now I have a Jethro Tull earworm...
“Happy and I’m smiling,
Walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I’d love to love you,
And above you there’s no other.
We’ll go walking out
While others shout of war’s disaster.
Oh, we won’t give in,
Let’s go living in the past.
Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there’s revolution, but they don’t know
What they’re fighting.
Let us close out eyes;
Outside their lives go on much faster.
Oh, we won’t give in,
We’ll keep living in the past.”
Talk about fatous:

(Of course it’s out of fear, you moron!)
Sorry — FATUOUS. (I’m just careless, I guess.)
Walter Sobchak: Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax... [shouting]
Walter Sobchak: You're g$%# right I'm living in the f@#$% past!
I love him!
I’m calmer than you are.
You human paraquat.
