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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
The enemy has been engaged, and Hitlery got boooooed and we brought out the Daisy Cutters! As we continue our battle, remember why we are fighting. The Eagle is awake and demanding retribution. As our President said, We will not negotiate!. We will not forget. Please keep those that we have lost, and those who will fight for us, in your prayers. Also too, remember we seem to be the most hated people on the planet, so dont relax your guard

Surely a sentence has been posted referring to the duopoly of the Democrat and Republican parties? Have to admit that I haven't scanned the whole thread.

The respective Mrs. must have great senses of humor to put up with the two of you! :-)

Thanks for the update on Mr. and Mrs. LP, CD! So the Fronds are all going to have a great trip to DisneyWorld. That is so great.
I'm going to your website as soon as I can figure out what it is.

LOL, yes, but do you own Park Place?
To: RikaStrom
Yes, he did specifically ask me to let you know, Rika.
Don't know about Mrs. Palm's sense of humor, but my wife MUST have one.
She married me, ya know!!

Doubled, you know by now, that it is "always" someone else's fault in certain circles.

Hahahaaaaa! No more school, no more books, no more teacher's dirty (hehe) looks... I'm going to sit back here in the janitor's closet and [cough] [hack] catch up on some homework or something.
A young man was in the backyard fooling around with his new girlfriend on a very dark night.
Naaaaawwwww... That's just a wee bit edgy. What with the ladies and all...
A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send him flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card,.... "Rest in Peace."
The owner was angry and called the florist to complain.
After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist replied, "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this: somewhere, there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying,... 'Congratulations on your new location!'"

I think Mrs. Palm must have a sense of humor, she's been listening to his jokes for years now. ;-)
We are going to have to do a WFTD get together one of these days.
To: RikaStrom; hobbes1
Whoops.
This is false advertising, bro! How could you give me the hard one like that! Sooooo unrighteous, brother.

Maybe this'll make you feel better:

LOL, he didn't know I was going to manage to escape.
To: RikaStrom
[Whew] Good thing I didn't put up the rest of that joke, huh... You could prob'ly guess what it entailed anyway. What with there being darkness. And grassy lawn. And two impatient horny younguns. And a lil' mixup on someone's part. I've said too much.
