Language Liberalism Freethought Birds
Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.
Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.
The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.
If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.
A couple of us who do the Daily Jumble are going to try something - making a sentence that uses all the words. Extra (nonexistent) points if they're in order. I have a feeling a large number of these will be almost dada, but I'll be posting mine here (the day after the Jumble, to avoid spoilers).

I used to teach Russian and Ukrainian, and some basic English, to civil servants. Now I teach Russian at a local continued-learning institute. I dabble in Gaelic and Welsh. I'm am amateur photographer and I love birding (in a small way). I'm a Progressive, and a Freethinker, and I know Evolution is a fact - that's FCD, Friend of Charles Darwin (look down the sidebar). I read a lot, and follow women's college basketball. Also I love astronomy, though I'm a rank amateur at it. Most of all, I like living in the reality-based community...

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Reminds me of 4th grade homework, when we had to write sentences using the words from that week's spelling test. I liked to squeeze multiple words into a single sentence -- the one I remember is: "The wagon went forth to defeat the captain". The teacher tried to explain to me that the sentences were supposed to show an understanding of what the words meant, but at that age I was too contrary to listen.
