Word For The Day, August 20, 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".
Footle [foot-l]
-vi
1. to act or talk in a foolish or silly way.
-n
2. nonsense; foolishness; silliness.
[1890–95; origin uncertain; cf. footy]
The way some “public servants”
Developed a one issue mind
Should be a cautionary tale
For vetting the political kind
McCain footles about war-
The way he goes on about it
Shows his brain is still in ‘Nam
In case you happen to doubt it
Obama’s minions love to throw
Their own creatures under the bus
Ignoring these egomaniacs now
Will cut down on all the fuss
I’ve got to go get a bid done and go to the general store-back later...
Running around topless in public makes women somehow equal? More like somehow stupid-the idiots should save it for the nude beach or the backyard pool-is not the way to be respected as an equal...
Isnt that obvious?
It makes women equal, because the bare breasts makes men dumb too.....lmao!
/sexism.
It’s better than “Ignatowski”.
After having initial doubts, I have firmly joined the “boarding pass” on the phone ranks.
We need a special line though. Why should i wait behind people who dont have a pass just to drop my pre-paid-for bags?
you are not special. get the hell over that ; )
And the longer you look the dumber you get
/old joke
holy crap that one in Rochester looks orgasmic! mine is wonderful, also the one in DeWitt is wonderful, but DANNNNNNGGGG i feel like i need to make a journey to that Rochester one!
On the way home, I heard this on the classic rock station-
“Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I’d meet girls like you
She also told me, “Stay away
You’ll never know what you’ll catch”
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier’s falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That’s going round
Your Mommy’s all right
Your Daddy’s all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don’t give yourself away
Hey, hey”
And I found a CD in MrT5’s little toolbox from his Miata in the workshop-I’m listening to it right now-”29 Palms”, “Thorn in My Side” Eurythmics, Cranberries, Police, etc-haven’t heard any of that stuff in forever, and I thought I was the only one in the house fond of that type of music-wonder where he got that?
I’m green with envy-even the nearest market HEB-on the outskirts of NW SA-isn’t that sumptuous...
#1, yes I am
#2, what is my incentive to check in online and prepay my bag fee if i still have to stand in line behind people who apparently have never seen a touchscreen before or thought to have their IDs ready?
Dont know. We got Giant Eagles and they give ten cents off gasoline for every $50 spent. And free umbrellas if you get caught there in the rain.
Just leave them with your cart, they say.
I once was drunk enough to sing that one at a Karaoke night in Mexico. Great song. It’s one of the ones i put on my car’s memory.
Can ya help a brutha out on the bail....lmao.
julietnSlutty wasntelling that story, but I only had one eye open,,,,fripping my pillow tight
Which, is why I can no longer tie my shoelaces without drooling on them.
Wow-I don’t think I’ve ever been that drunk, but my favorite scene in that chick flick “27 Dresses” is where the perpetual bridesmaid and the wedding columnist guy go to get a few drinks and get so drunk they are standing on the bar singing “Benny and the Jets”-which is one of the tunes on one of my must-have driving CDs in the 4Runner-the first time I heard it, nemesis and I were in a raging fight in his truck...
This pair of CDs are good, too-I think they become driving music, too-
“I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon but to settle down and write you a line” even if that song makes me cry...
oh, please........my wegmans has a drive up for loading groceries with a roof....and they load them for you. forget the rain.
yeah, mine is not so cool, but it has lots to offer....best part being the competitive market keeps prices lower. prices are set at each one by the local market.
