And don't forget his cussing fit when he couldn't find his hair "brush", then cussed out his valet because he didn't know where it was

[TexasTaysor]

LOL you're right, it does

[TexasTaysor]

Well.....maybe to her money

If I had to resort to the dictionary so often with every book I read, I'd be worried. But in the 20 books prior to Atkinson's, I went to the dictionary maybe 4 or 5 times. If you know what these words mean – without resorting to the dictionary - you have my great envy:

• triptych
• celerity
• brio
• torpor
• desiccated
• punctilious
• a-borning
• catafalque
• abstemious
• akimbo

“Torpor” was the only one that I knew.

LMAO. :)

"The Republican Visigoths are crushing checks and balances and driving Democrats (and moderate Republicans) into subservient, obedient roles,...".

Hey, MODO, I consider myself a moderate Republican (OK, mostly moderate.....today anyway), and I gotcher subservient, obedient right here.

She looks very bad. A little bit nice with the red hair and all. But kinda witch-like. She has a bad nose, hisses her "s's" and her upper arms are way way flabby and thick.

[bushisdamanin04]

"The Republican Visigoths are crushing checks and balances and driving Democrats … into subservient, obedient roles ... ."

And that is bad because … ?

[ken5050]

That's the easy part..now..try to use them ALL in the SAME sentence...

[bushisdamanin04]

She has a "speaking" style which appears to me to be of someone who is either on meds ... or needs to be on meds.

If this Dowd person happened to be married to a man, he would be a scratch golfer for sure.......fenway

[bushisdamanin04]

We went to the triptych celerity on the brio torpor and desiccated a punctilious a-borning catafalque who reminded me of a abstemious akimbo I had known many years before.

How’d I do, teach?

[MAWG]

I think she speaks that way because her butt plug is way too big.

[bushisdamanin04]

Yikes!

[bushisdamanin04]

With the way she talks, Michael Douglas must have slept with one eye open. Especially after that little fling with Glenn Close. :)

[wardaddy]

LOL

remind me not to get you going...lol

Welcome to FR.

We "tolerate" moderates here as a means of achieving more diversity and understanding.

I am a proud Visigoth and I enjoy crushing nuance.

[MAWG]

Bottom line on Mo: She has a cruel little mouth and she only uses it to inflict pain.

[wardaddy]

Yep....she projects her inadequacies....


projection is the mother's milk of liberalism....and some modruts...lol

Every morning for breakfast, Mo has a large glass of Carnation Instant Bitch.
