Admirability
ADMIRABILITY, n. My kind of nobility, as distinguished from your kind of ability.
2006 Update: Restraint in a traffic jam, quickness in a rush or madness in a riot.
The happiest of birthdays to the magnificent, magniloquent, artistic, pluralistic, heuristic, gracious, gifted, good-humored, hectic, lovely, lucky, lavish and plucky, comical, cat-loving, fearsome never fulsome Michael Jackson!

Incompetunce so great it gets you promoted to admiral of the fleet.
a bunch of old men smelling of cheap rum, giving out smoke and good stories. oh wait that's admirality...
ariel, are those your feet? Youc an brake a bone standing like that, take it from me!
brian, I hardly ever change lanes...I am admirable that way :)
Admirability:A quality of heroes, champions; a virtue rapidly growing extinct.
Admirability: A quality that tends to fade in bright light; more apparent to those wearing rose colored glasses.
(why do I sound so cynical this morning?)
It may indeed not be Minka darling but if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right and that is simply funkified!
FO SHO!

(Nicely done, Quilly!)
Admirability... the ability to admire the fact that I will always be exactly one year younger than Micheal Jackson (who is 48 years old today).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
HAPPY 47 DDRAGON!!!
In all my excitement, fumble fingers prevailed (can you imagine!)...make that DDDragon or 3D even.
I wish I could see the look on Doug's face when he realizes he broke his post addendum habit a few days too soon and missed this. The birthday of his Pez Big Sis. Teehee!
admirability: the ability to do so much for so many and still manage to retain your own sense of self and/or creativity. for example, a certain talented, extremely busy, and admired Pez Pal! oooh, and now it's your birthday to boot?? HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear DDDragon!! xoxox
my agility to recognise your amicability for posterity
orifro: to go forward with singular orios (if you have cookies enabled)
happpy birthday, dddragon!!!
Happy Birthday DDDragon!
admirability: adeptness in appreciating the accomplishments of others. [see also: suck-upperer, fawn-uponer, gush overer, eulogizer]
Admirable Excellence Award given for the production of wonderful children. Also see, that's me you see with the trophy.
This includes blogchildren.
ikdunt: I kid you not.
Happy Birthday, 3D Dragon!
not my feet, Monika, although when looking at the man I wish they were. what a feeling it must be walking like that... :)
Admirability: Doug are you fishing for compliments?
I admire the staff of restaurants like TGIFriday's, who can, day after day, march out from the back room with a cupcake with a candle in it and singsong out the same rhyme:
I don't know but I've been told,
Someone here is getting old.
Hippo birdie two ewe, DDD. And don't drop that trumpet. The trombone ... eh ...
:)
Here I thought it was related to graciousness, sis!
Ha, Minka. You were close. See above.
Puppybrose, I'm sure a little googlery would go a long way.
S.A.C.A.D.A, or spelling so precise it gets you promoted to the fifth grade.
Ariel, that's companionship.
Brian, staying in your own lane is a virtue finer than compassion.
Minka, staying in two is no accomplishment.
Joel, I think we bloggers have it all to ourselves now. I wonder if they make rose-colored monitors?
Unexpected restraint, herman. Admirable to be sure.
Quilldancer, I'll start Monday. This week is too stressful.
O Ceallaigh, the Lincoln Memorial is humbling, isn't it. An admirable president with an enviable pen.
That Quilly's a witty one, isn't she, Sar? You're an admirable wit and an inerring judge of talent.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SISTER DDDRAGON!!! ADMIRABILITY, n. The capacity to remember the birthdays of the finest and kindest.
Sar, it's a little red.
Amen, Puppybrose.
Karma, my ability to recognize your posterior for amicability.
Puppybrose, that's a great definition.
a4g, that's another one. Bierce regains breath by your rasp.
TLP, you're a winner down to the next generation. Sure hope the twins' kids aren't rotten.
Ariel, isn't that like false advertizing? You won't find Pansi using someone else's picture. Or Icy.
Why, Terry? Did you have one you wanted to leave?
O Ceallaigh, I admire them from afar if at all.
I don't use someone else's picture. someone else's picture uses me.
regarding additional message: now *that's* what i call an admirable Birthday Greeting! well done!
I deny any connection to Michael Jackson.
But since some of you are talkin' 'bout driving, who said: "Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead"? (not me.)
Brian is RIGHT about it being an admirable thing to stay in your own lane during heavy traffic. I feel like bombing those people off the road who are always cutting across lanes in a feverish hurry.
I think they actually think it makes them get there quicker.
It's really funny to pass them when traffic begins to lessen and they happen to be stuck in the slower lane.
It's not very admirable for me to feel such glee at their expense, but I don't really give a... you know.
Sar -- thank you, thank you (throw money)
Admirability: One's capacity to be excellent. Even on Mondays...even first day back from vacation...even hung-over.
(I'm not talking about me, mind you.)

Doug "DAWG" writes his heart out with as much focus and admirability as he has always...
BTW... thanks for picking up the tab over at my place...
admirability - Showing the proper traits to become an admiral.
I'm told very few admirals actually have this ability, but you go to war with the admirals you have, not the ones you wish you had.
Wait! I was chanelling Rumsfeld there for a minute!
D'oh! on the Michael Jackson!!
I once had lieutenantability....
Quality exciting amazement in the inept, resentment in the stupid, competition among the vain, and admiration in none.
Wed almost and wheres the wit...
Denied again, a day late and at least a dollar short
However, if you have a hamburger....
I'll take a hamburger and a side of slaw.
And I am still searching for some one worth admiring.
Ariel, they really freak me out. I have bandages and everything ready though in case you trip!
*looks paranoid at Arile´d feet*
Ariel, if clever answers were admirability I'd bow.
Thanks, Puppybrose.
TLP, we all have a skeleton in the closet. Honesty is an admirable trait and your skeleton happens to be darn near a skeleton.
Jamie Dawn, Justice is only served if you kill them slow.
Brian, just remember, the lampshade is G's hat.
I hope not Mutha, because it was Tuesday.
Mireille, I said the same thing on June 20, 1983. I was at an art museum, I think it was in Des Moines, no, Iowa City and...
Shayna, let's just hope the check clears.
Thanks, Actonbell!
Poobah, I think you're just confused, lacking moral and intellectual courage.
Aral, that's admirable enough for me. (To the tune of Spoonful)
Weirsdo, I'm amazed.
VI, it was Tuesday, bro.
Logo, you're a Diogenes for our time.
Minka, it's kind to bandage the fallen but kinder to catch them.
LOL @Minka!!!
