A computer decided I was going too fast, according to Facebook. I'm not even on Facebook. Ok, I put several photos from my trip to the beach for my friends. What's wrong with that? I probably put about 5 photos. The rules don't say anything about posting fast. What's your experience with them?

BRANNIGAN – a drinking bout, spree, or binge…
HODDYPEAK – a fool, simpleton, or blockhead (NEVER needed on aMug, of course!)
PERISSOLOGY – use of more words than necessary (no one does that here, naturally…‘specially not me)
KENCH – to laugh loudly (Oh, we can expand the nuance of LOL and LMAO)
JOLLUX – in the 1700’s, this word meant a fat person
BRABBLE – to quarrel about trifles; esp. to quarrel noisily, brawl, squabble
FRECK – to move swiftly or nimbly; as “I hate it when I am frecking through the airport and the lines are so slow.” (Might be fun to see if it is possible to brabble and freck at the same time...)
So your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use one of these obsolete words (or another of your own cho... less

Targets vary according to the emotions of the moment but the attack is always the same. It's time for a change-up. Different plan. If sports teams ALWAYS used the exact same play how are they ever gonna win? Everyone knows how to beat them! Game over! :(

Bush didn't believe in dissing Clinton. He also didn't dis Obama. Trump has no problem accusing Obama of illegal activity. Where's the PROOF? What is it about a Trump that causes him to do what he does and say what he says besides lack of class?
