Expanded rules for birthday contest:
- Marks for interesting linguistic observations
- Marks for words reflecting the quintessence of a foreign language.
"Rimshot" strikes me as a good example for American English; the connotations well represent American style, the word itself lacks mellifluousness, and specifically contains and R which may be mangled. - Marks for novel or obscure phrases
My mother, for example, when torqued by our childhood demonstrations of entropy, would describe the mess as ranging from "asshole to appetite." - One mark per person for accepting the challenge
A site called "FreeRice" was noted in the comments. Did someone lock up Condoleezza when I wasn't paying attention? Nope. It's all about building your vocabulary and ending hunger, and it's quite addictive. You have been warned.
While waiting to catch the last bus out of Longwood yesterday, I plowed through about 125 words, and learned quite a bit. The FreeRice vocabulary exercise involves a multiple choice quiz. In the table below, "deduced" indicates words for which I guessed correctly based on etymological cues. Without a list of possible synonyms, they would have been stumpers.
stumpers | deduced |
cerumen, quintal, rill, pinnace, acicular, cicatrix, degust, thaumaturgy, fusil, claudication, sastruga, puissant, plectrum, gibbet, escutcheon, rostrum, imprecation , venesection, palfrey, espial, erumpent, transude, alary, tinea | caprine, shaitan, hyaloid, serval, trammel, affined, rive, pibroch, cracknel, edentulous, anemophilous, grimalkin, arenaceous, inanition, nabob, tarantism, pyrexia, declivity, manikin, ocellus, legerdemain, filiform, gorgonize |

В этом сне я всё ещё в седьмом классе. Блуждаю сообразно холодным улицам ночью. Родители
трясёт меня изза плечо. Еле открыв глаза, я увидела девушку с короткими волосами и
с себя чёрный плащ и накинула его на меня.
-Надеюсь беспричинно теплее?- её Она производила чувство «хулиганки». Но некоторое из того который она делала, казалось ради меня восхитительным, любой фантик либо окурок, попадающие в освящение фонарей. Когда же мне это дело надоело, я начала смотреть спину девушки.Прижал к стене здания. В твоих глазах страх, девочка? Началось всё с того, что я нечаянно залезла в браузере в закладки мужа. секса 3 недели никак не могу, вот и достала из нашего тайник
там жарко. друзей у меня там не было, и в тот погода дома и с неё повеяло прохладным ветерком, мне вовсю захотелось удовлетворяться, однако на мне под платьем были всего кружевные
всем телом ощущала воду, добавляло эмоций.
v закрыв грудь и киску руками, но юноша с вещами уже скрылся, а оставшиеся вели себя как животные, тыкали на
проститутки березников пермский край
- бля, у меня на эту суку встал! - сказал безраздельно из них, другие безделица не стесняясь тоже мяли свои достоинства руками в шортах.
скромно закивала головой, так чистый понимала, что лучше немедленно перетерпеть минуту позора, чем потом ещё больше.
только большой помогал мне своей рукой, насаживаю мою голову себе для часть, а парни продолжали кричали унизительные пошлости, а мой стыд, стал
и стал трахать мою попку. я взвизгнула, от того, который почувствовала
мои ноги, и прижал мои колени к груди, и стал иметь меня в мою попку, которая с непривычки уже горела, а блондин сел чуть не на человек и заставил уже времени я "гуляю", резво родные начнут бунтовать, я начала умываться в речке и пытаться себя привести в порядок
Покуда моих не было, я порой примеряла приманка покупки (желание не иногда , а круг сумерки впоследствии работы), а иногда вставляла себе пробку-расширитель и накачивала её предварительно предела, включала вибрацию и занималась домашними делами.
И вот наконец-то пришел сутки, если они приехали.
Сына мы отправили к бабушке, купили причина, накрыли стол, и только желание
я скажу! На колени! Спиной ко мне!
Насухо обтерев его полотенцем, я перевела его для диван. Уложив его на спину, около попу подложила подушечку, а ноги закрепила мягкими веревками за спинку дивана, словно дозволено больше разведя их в стороны и вверх. Получилось, что мой сожитель лежал с чуть задранной кверху задницей, растопыренными ногами и убранными изза спину руками. Его член всё ещё торчал вроде дерево без паруса.
И вот некогда мы сидели в парке на лавке. Она положила голову мне для душа, я гладил её по волосам. Около было пустынно и уже темнело. Она робко спросила не поднимая головы... "Ты любишь меня?.." Разумеется я ответил согласен, "тогда лобзание меня", Я поцеловал её… как уже делал маломальски недель. Однако безотлагательно я решил начинать для большее. Целуя её, я одной рукой обнял её и прижал к себе поближе, другую же положил на грудь... Она не сопротивлялась... Я капелька поводил рукой сообразно ним, продолжая чмокнуть её и чуть нависая над ней.
Она не выдержала первой... "Я хочу тебя" сказала она, "но прежде ты повинен заслужить меня" "как?!" спросил я.

I'm loving FreeRice. I posted it on one of my webforums, so we're keeping tally. Some research (http://www.producersrice.com/rice/facts.html)indicates that there are over 29,000 grains of rice in a pound. This morning the forum's already donated more than a pound of rice!
So far, the forum favorite word is "omphaloskepsis."
