incult \In*cult"\, adjective:

1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.

Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Nature’s hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of wat’ry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams.

James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".

Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.

i just think of her as the actress from the slasher movies with a big chest and the annoying voicestream commercials.

Shoot me your email, and I will send over a quick chart. It'll come together fast.

[Just another Joe]

Watch 'em flinch when you move toward it, eh?

Naw, I've taught them better than to flinch when at attention but the eyes sure do lock onto my every movement. heh heh

Never thought about PowerPoint and I've got the new 2000 version of it on my system.

I knew I could count on m friends in school for a helping hand!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

hOMEWORK:

THE ELITE cultural Mafia's in NY seems so inculted with Hillary (despite her criminal flaws, personal hysterical temper, tyrannical obsessivices and socialist mores) that one is forced to wonder if they HAVE any minds at all.

Or are they mere followers, lulled into a Nazi-like cult of hatred for America and the American culture.

Mornin', Teach !

Have a cup while you FReep !

[Gabz]

hey - Homework!!!

The incult ravings of the anti-smokers gives further proof of the brainwashed cult mentality of them.

A Jubilant Barroom Toast to Smoke-Free Air

This stupid*%$^& has swallowed hook, line and sinker every bogus statistic and or "fact" the anti-smokers have dropped her.

^%$*&%&^(*&(*&(

[hobbes1]

eh eh....True Lies.

Given her shape that must have been some diet they put her on for that movie..

[white rose]

I realize this news item is rather incult, but I couldn't help but be tickled by that headline. Misanthropes such as myself have been saying that for years, and we didn't even need the Brits to do a survey first.

You've never heard of flesh colored girdles?

[Gabz]

I'm going to have to do both a computer file and print outs.

And I've got 11 of them to do.

OTOH, the payment will more than cover my costs for Jax in school for a month!!!!

[lds23]

Maybe it's UNpolite and UNpertinent, but the running of the global forums by incult and incivilized nations deserves a homegrown American response.

[Gabz]

You've got FReepmail!!!

[RikaStrom]

LOL, just give us time, we can come up with the answer. I like the PowerPoint option, because you can put a lot of information in those little blocks. ;-)

[RikaStrom]

They are followers.

[Gabz]

That is HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[camle]

I think of her as an independant woman making her own way, not depending on anyone else to pay her way. She is secure enough in who she is to allow the world to see her as she really is.

and that is rare and admirable.

[xsmommy]

agreed. she is cute too. i wore my hair that short when i was in law school.

[RikaStrom]

LOL, thank you MnM. I definitely need it today.
