Fugacious? Fuggedaboutit.
excellente! A++++
Islanders decided to give the Pens a game. The loss was an exciting game. the isles first goal was pretty funny to see their celebration, it was almost like OMG we scored, can you believe it???
Three Dallas cheerleaders? Did they fail to get to the end zone too?
lacking logic: lefts view of the weather underground bombings and boston bombing
Yes, the last two games were much more “interesting” than the first. I give the Isles credit for waking up about 4 periods into the series. They were tenacious.
Yesterday’s game was a roller coaster. Both teams blew 2-goal leads and let it all hang out in OT.
Thank you!
Sadly, yes! I had a feeled goal.
Oh, Gus the gardener’s gone now.
And you went with him too.
The fungus here reminds me of
The fun Gus is having with you.

Though pugnacious and slugnacious the pitchers fame was as fugacious as a bungee jumper with an extra long cord.

It is 52 and getting cloudy again-at this time of the year, it is usually in the 60’s by 10 am-I hope it stays cooler to screw up the global warming agenda and make it look more ridiculous...
The Bengazi video excuse was
Fugacious from the beginning-
No thinking person believed it
Even with all the spinning
Now, it is all unraveling
Like cover-ups always will
It even happened to Nixon-
A lawyer with more skill
Witnesses won’t stay shut-up
They demand a fall from grace-
Those who tried to gag them
Will likely lose jobs and face...
A+++ i don’t know from bung ; )
oh i so hope the unravel continues! ! A++++
Well, he has that right-somewhere, Nixon is no doubt greatly amused by the use of his playbook...
Thank you!
I remember the late night comedy TV routines with “Nixon” in the garden of the WH trying to dispose of tapes, or yelling at his minions, with every other word bleeped.
No, but a polite happy fungii would be considered fungracious ...
A++ fungi gracias ; )
