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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

nates \na*tez\, plural noun

1. The buttocks.
2. The two anterior of the four lobes on the dorsal side of the midbrain of most mammals; the anterior optic lobes.
3. The umbones of a bivalve shell.

The democrats will find that their plethora of piffle will come to bite them on the nates. Of course, those blissoming bullies will become anorchus amoebas when they're trumped and tromped in the edifying election.
--Rika Strom, WFTD Teacher, 2003

Etymology: [Latin nat s, pl. of natis, buttock.]

how nice! moldy guns! Sinec we had threatened rain almost every day, couldn't ride the harley, and the AC drain in the limo is clogged depositing water in the floor.

Frank worked on it yesterday and shoudl finish fixing it today. I drove the jeep in today so he could have the limo.

I told XS it was time for a new limo....

I hope the smokers didn't take advantage of this and violate all those ordinances.

I was about a mile from home when the sky openned up on me yesterday....thankfully I was returning, and not just starting out of the house!!!!

We can't figure out what exactly is wrong with the AC in my van, except the part is better than $200 - it's a good thing I enjoy driving with the windows open.

LOL!!!

I got an email this morning from a buddy in California who caught something on the news about just that............

"""Just heard on the news about how New Yorkers are coping with the hassles
due to the big black out. On the radio a man stranded in the city said,
"It's not too bad. I'm just sitting in here (a bar), having some beers,
having some smokes."

After what seems weeks of bad news I really got a kick out of this average
Joe telling the nation on ABC news just how best to handle the latest
crisis, even in Bloomberg's Nursery."""

yeesh! It's supposed to rain tomorrow and maybe sunday afternoons. the tyke and I are enrolled in a canoe-building class at the Seaport this weekend so we shoul dbe indoors the whole time anyway. and if it rains on the way out, it'll probably be nasty enough for us to enjoy the rain.

[camle]

From the Nattering Nates Department....

The gentle lady from Texas (oh, the SHAME!) insists that the next storm be named Hurricane Flossie....

[Slip18]

Tropical Storm Rika is on the way to her office. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the storm was upgraded to a hurricane? Not a hoot, mind you, for the people in its path . . .

[CholeraJoe]

I've been defending the honor of my pups on the Hillary Freep thread from the still cranky and sweaty NYC GOP Chick. Sheesh, you'd think 13 hours without air conditioning was a big deal.

Growing up in the deep south as the child of poor sharecroppers, the only time I had air conditioning, was when momma took me to the Piggly Wiggly to make groceries.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Thanks. The Bates Motel would be a good place for the Democrat Convention.

I was able to print one thing I needed , but now the page is locking up and I can't even read it, let alone print it out.

Any kind of help would be appreciated. It's a tax form that I have to have ................
