Word For The Day, Tuesday April 1, 2014
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".
trope [trop]

[Latin tropus, from Greek tropos turn, way, manner, style, trope, from trepein to turn]
jamás [hah-MAHS]

Antes, ellos jamás habían estado tarde.
They had never been late before.
How I Met Your Mother finale last night.
Discuss.
Glad I already spoiled it for myself.
morning, Fool : )
Yo no miro jamás “How I Met Your Madre”
Today is National Athiests Day.
Nunca lo he visto yo tampoco.
Law of the Land = trope. It’s like they never heard of Prohibition.
I think they were going for clever and touching (and it really did make a lot more sense that way). And they obviously had planned ahead (cause the part with the kids had to have been filmed 9 years ago).
But the actual episode was rushed and overall depressing.
They should have played out the events in this final episode over the past ten episodes or so.
I visited Tampico once.
Perhaps I am the only one who thought that show had already ended years ago and was just in endless syndication. I never saw a full episode because the thought that Doogie could be a womanizer was so unbelievable.
Instead of being a jumbled up mess for most of the season? Yes.
Psalm 14:1
Psalm 53:1
is it?
I think this guy got the Noah movie

Suprised so few did.
Ending quote “Some readers may think I’m being hard on people for not noticing the Gnosticism at the heart of this film. I am not expecting rank-and-file viewers to notice these things. I would expect exactly what we’ve seen: head-scratching confusion. I’ve got a whole different standard for Christian leaders: college and seminary professors, pastors, and Ph.Ds. If a serpent skin wrapped around the arm of a godly Bible character doesn’t set off any alarms... I don’t know what to say.
Acting!
Remember he was in the role before he “came out.”
Alec Baldwin is a big fat jerk, but he played Jack Donaghy well.
Remember I said it should have been called “How I Boned Your Aunt Robin Off and On for a Decade”?
Turns out I was in tune with what the writers were laying down.
Definitely, if they knew where they were going to end up, they should have let it play out better at the end.
Good idea. Poor execution. Depressing finale. Spend a whole season building up to a wedding then destroy the marriage immediately?
