IMMACULATE, adj. Spotless, as a mountain lion or black leopard. Not applicable to the human condition. Though we tend to insist on it. Especially during campaigns for President. Then we're surprised when they pounce from the shadows of the spotlights.

Happy birthday Karma!

Immaculate: A descriptive used to explain one of the most unlikely receptions ever witnessed on a football field. (See also Raiders vs. Steelers, 12/23/72...Franco Harris...Frenchy Fuqua...and, that's the way the ball bounces)

The Immaculate Collection?

Madonna -- Like a Virgin.



irloo: [as in] You've got to be kidding!

Happy Birthday Karma!

Immaculate - surely this word has something to do with Karma...

Immaculate: Those awaiting a good polish to reveal the tarnish beneath.

Karen said...

The Oscar Al Gore won last night for "Inconvenient Truth" was 'Immaculate' and that's the "Truth"!!

w00t!

Happy birthday Karma

Immaculate: Bierce as redefined by Doug

Unknown said...

awww dawg, you didn't forget to remember!

thanks so much amoeba, joel, g, minks and pia!

immaculate: "Out, damned spot!"

exeymy: my eye is x-rated

Doug The Una said...

Amoeba, I guess it's how the world looks through polka-dot glasses.

Joel, I remember the immaculate reception like it was yesterday along with Stanford's The Play back when Elway was older than me.

Quilly, is that an empty plate in the pews or a full one?

Right g, over-waxed.

Karen, I'm happy you're happy.

Minka, that's a great quote.

Pia, you make a good point. 100% pure is indistinguishable from 100% polluted.

Karma, they don't make enough x's for your eye. I hope it's a grand one.

Immaculate: the slate, pre-scribble; the canvas, pre-paint; the life, pre-lived.

Happy Birthday, Dear Karma! may your own fine slate/canvas/life be filled with much wisdom, beautiful colors, and as many rich and rewarding experiences as you desire and/or can stand!

Sar said...

Happy Birthday to my SIS, Karma! May you celebrate and enjoy champagne, strawberries, and a hunk of chocolate (or is it a hunk in chocolate? hmmmmm).

(*high fives Karen* Al Gore was awesome at the Oscars last night!)

Which reminds me, am I the only one who noticed with today's word, Doug's gone green?

Immaculate: Going, Going, Green!

The Old Mule said...

Karma: You will get through the renovation, you will get through the renovation! Felicidades.

immaculate: as yet un-lived.

As clean and irritating as a whistle.

Happy Inappropriate Card Day!

TLP said...

Happy Birthday to Karma!

The Immaculate is sort of red/brown on the post as far as I can tell, but the link goes NO WHERE. Guess that's a definition of immaculate right there.

Whenever you clean something to make it immaculate, you make the thing you cleaned it with, dirty. But, of course, you can dirty something without making anything immaculate, so take your pick.

Doug The Una said...

Puppybrose, that was a beautiful definition.

Ah, the scarce stiletto! I don't know what happened with the title, honestly.

Sharp as a tack, Diesel.

TLP, I'm not sure what happened there. Somehow, a link got into the title. I hate when that happens.

Mo'a said...

Hello Doug, your answers are always Immaculate.....except that one time.

Nessa said...

Immaculate: The way God has sex. Ow, that lightening bolt stung.

TLP said...

LOL Goldennib! If only all guys were that clean. Ouch! Dangitall! Those bolts do sting!

Mutha said...

Immaculate: without smudge (oh wait...except right there...now hold still, I've got a tissue in my purse...okay, a little lick will do the trick. There)

Omnipotent Poobah said...

immaculate - A house clean enough for visitors, but cleaner than it usually is for the regular inhabitants.

Doug The Una said...

Ah, Mo'a. I'm so shameless I'm wondering which time.

Haha, Nessa. Don't touch metal.

See, TLP?

Mutha, that name sure fits you.

Poobah, where do you put the socks?

Mo'a said...

See what I mean....immaculate :)

Jamie Dawn said...

Immaculate: dust free

I hope Karma's day has been terrific!!!

Anonymous said...

Immaculate this blog before I came along - or so Doug claims. I have my doubts.

Happy birthday Karma.

Unknown said...

thanks my darlings puppy, SIS sar (hunk in chocolate is just fine!!!), old mule, TLP, jamie d, jenna.

it was a wonderful day - and made all the more wondrous because of you. oh, and thanks dawg :P

kjcxnmeb: me, i kick off end of February

TLP said...

I just sat down to do the crossword puzzle and the cryptoquote and see where I got my first comment today: Saturday's quote. It's so wonderful being old. You start each day with an immaculate mind.

"the life, pre-lived"

ain't that the truth

Happy Birthday to the Karma.

Doug The Una said...

Right, right, Mo'a! That which I give ye to eat, call ye not unclean!

Jamie Dawn, that deserves truffling.

Jenna, we were all pure as the driven snow. Except TLP. That TLP!

Pleasure, Karma. I hope it was a grand one!

TLP, I see I'm a prodigy. I wish our paper had a cryptoquote instead of that stupid sodoku madness.

Cooper, that was a good one, wasn't it? Pre-lived or post-soaped, I guess.

Actonbell, so I've heard. It's probably good I didn't grow up there. TLP would be an atheist by now.

My momma told me not to imacullate you can go blind from that!

Doug The Una said...

Boy, she told you true.
