Word of the day is legs. Why don't we go back to my place and "spread the word."
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

Mickeyrats avatar is the Steelers 6 super bowl rings. I remember after they won their 4th superbowl in 1980, Mean Joe Greene's saying was "one for the thumb in '81".
So, bone, shovel, hole,--they're all very goods words.

don't you think it's strange how you can sometimes know 'roughly' what a word means, without fully knowing it - from the sense I guess.
I like looking at the roots of words - so many are inherited. My word appreciation gets me into trouble though - I remember at work one time I said I didn't think we should act now since 'circumstances weren't auspicious' - nobody had a fucking clue what I was on about!!

Have no idea what either word means!! (until you just told me that one) How about 'Copaseptic'??
For a so-called 'High-School Drop-out' Ed certainly knows his words - over the years he's taught me so much - he is really deep conceptually - makes you think about how words are used and the power of that. This is at the heart of why I love PJ so much.
Can someone make me up a t-shirt up sayin "Eddie Vedder - Expanding Our Minds since 1991" !!?

A Pyrrhic victory (IPA: /ˈpɪrɪk/) is a victory with devastating cost to the victor. The phrase is an allusion to King Pyrrhus of Epirus, whose army suffered irreplaceable casualties in defeating the Romans at Heraclea in 280 BC and Asculum in 279 BC during the Pyrrhic War. After the latter battle, Plutarch relates in a report by Dionysius:
The armies separated; and, it is said, Pyrrhus replied to one that gave him joy of his victory that one more such victory would utterly undo him. For he had lost a great part of the forces he brought with him, and almost all his particular friends and principal commanders; there were no others there to make recruits, and he found the confederates in Italy backward. On the other hand, as from a fountain continually flowing out of the city, the Roman camp was quickly and plentifully filled up with fresh men, not at all abating in courage for the loss they sustained, but even from their very anger gaining new force and resolution to go on with the war.[1]
In both of Pyrrhus's victories, the Romans lost more men than Pyrrhus did. However, the Romans had a much larger supply of men from which to draw soldiers, so their losses did less damage to their war effort than Pyrrhus's losses did to his.
The report is often quoted as "Another such victory over the Romans and we are undone." While it is most closely associated with a military battle, the term is used by analogy in fields such as business, politics, law, literature, and sport to describe any similar struggle which is ruinous for the victor, such as the USFL v. NFL lawsuit.

I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."
good word! the best since the last good one. Had to look it up - thought it was maybe something like 'fortuitously', but no:
ex·pe·di·tious
–adjective
characterized by promptness; quick: an expeditious answer to an inquiry.
