The WORD of the Day
Isaiah 55:10-11
"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it."
The Word of the Day
olla podrida
1. An incongruous mixture. 2. A spicy stew of seasoned meat, vegetables, chickpeas, etc.
The Urban Word of the Day
chin strap
A patch of hair grown on the chin that looks like a chin strap for a football helmet. Similar to a goatee.
Jimmy was so proud because after months of practice, he was finally able to grow and perfect his chinstrap beard.

Britney's kids now in pre-hab.
FOL

Pi Time
The time of the day where a digital clock reads 3:14.
Dude, what time is? Dude, it's pi time.
beer thirty
Time of day (usually late afternoon to early evening) at which drinking a beer becomes necessary.
Hey, looks like its beer thirty, better grab me a cold one
cray cray
So unbelievably close to sheer insanity that one word cannot express the sentiment alone.
Yo, did you see the way Anando pounded shot after shot of straight e?erclear at that party? That shit was cray cray.
Did you hear how cray cray Bryan got last night? Remember that chick from the bar? He took her home and gave her the Tony Danza treatment, no lie.
Note: The power of this adjective phrase is often misunderstood and underestimated. Harm from misuse may occur. Use with caution and only under appropriate circumstances.
Nerd Bird

Do Not Press This Button
Since we're all settling in (or preparing to settle in) to our fully productive lives, it would be extremely unhelpful to post a severely addictive, time-wasting game on my blog. For this reason, I would encourage all my readers to NOT click on the image below.
I repeat: Do NOT click that image.
