Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Ok gang, welcome to Friday, and the return of the Friday WFTD. It's been a long week, so everyone have fun and do try to remember the keep it relatively clean, or at least, as clean as y'all can do!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

Let's get this show on the road. Here is my example of the WFTD.

Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is threatening to cancel his planned summer vacation in Italy after a member of the Italian government branded Germans as "stereotyped blondes" with a "hyper-nationalist pride," a Berlin daily reported Monday.

Oh heartbreak

"We know the Germans well, these stereotyped blondes with a hyper-nationalist pride who have always been indoctrinated to be first in the class at any cost," Stefano Stefani , undersecretary in Italy's Industry Ministry. wrote.

ROFLOL, it appears that the good German government is not taking insults very well these days. Amazing how a country has declined over the years. Now granted, some of their past was less than agreeable, but you know they had 20 years or so of decency, so how they slid into this morass is beyond me.

I don’t blame every German, heck I've enough German in me to make be a bit temperamental myself, it just amazes me that they have elected a government so full of itself and with a growing venereous (3) campaign to be all things to everyone. Perhaps they are realizing that they are just not loved by all.

Although I will admit to a bit of schadenfreude to the fact that Italy is sticking it, rather venerly (2), to Schroeder and his pals.

Perhaps German will go back to France, where they are so beloved. /meow

German Leader May Cancel Italy Trip
