Genuine relief and thankfulness that this is Friday...hoping the fatigue caused by a very harried week is reversible and that the weekend will give us motiveto face the next week.

My comments are going through. Have I been banned? I've been nothing but genuine here.

G said...

That was supposed to be "aren't".

Anyway, this has taken the whole fun out of the quip.

genuine: the real deal.

I have actually seen "Genuine imitation maple syrup," on the label of a syrup bottle in a gift shop. Soooo funny.

genuine: something that is found naturally and comes with a certificate saying that it really is what it is.... just like diamonds!

Dddragon, first and true blue.

Sar, has anyone ever told you you sound like Tammi Terrel?

Puppybrose, genuinely glad you're here.

Pro cierto, hermano. Como siempre, te creo sin pregunta.

Joel, the weekend's a trap. See if you don't end up on Monday. Nice summary, though.

Anomie, was it Groucho Marx who said sincerity is everything and once you can fake that you have it made?

G, you're never banned but sometimes challenged.

Jenna, do those seatbelts stretch?

Haha, Mistress Anna.

TLP's doing Karma and Karma, TLP. It's a genuine freaky friday.

Genuine Jenna's whine.

Puppybrose thats one great definition and three bad examples.

You forgot heroin, Mireille.

Maybe, Logo?

CJ, I have a stack of labels like that if you need one.

Brian, a cup for you too.

Genuine: My lapel button which reads "silicon free"

GENUINE, adj. Appellation Bordeaux Controllée.

I've seen genuine imitation leather. What I get for looking at wallets in Wal-Mart. Example of what's not in a name.

But I've not seen that on bottles of maple syrup. Pennsylvania's tourists must be even dumber than the ones that visit Maine.

¡Turista! ¡Turista!

:)

Mutha said...

We're about to get the same genuine storm here in Massachusetts...so before the thunder booms again, I will shut off my computer.

But, one more thing:
Genuine: what rings true, when the fit is just right and it cuts glass too.

Where do we go from here
I want to know
My heart is melting like the winter snow yeah
What's happening here
I use to know
It was a sure thing
Now it's not for sure yeah
Let down my guards and I opened up to you
And I dealt with the cards that I was given too
But now unsure if all your words were genuine
And I have to ask this question can't pretend

Doug The Una said...

Haha, Terry. I'm not sure that needs labelling but maybe should be anyhow to protect the inconsistent student.

O Ceallaigh, I think for a next career the tourist board may not be your choice.

Enjoy, Brian. Ah, me I miss rain.

Mutha, I love how that reads.

Actonbell, that will be your second I guess.

Shayna's back! Genuine Shayna.

Haha, a4g. Did you see the article in the Onion this week about "Wikipedia celebrates 750 years of American Independence?

The Violent Vixen said...

Wasn't/Isn't he a rapper? Since you know, Rap is so "genuine." Like any other music, they all have to look the same and sound the same to cut a record deal... doesn't sound very genuine to me.
(Don't get mad at me if you like rap) :)

Doug The Una said...

Solace, my rap days are long behind and I wouldn't get mad at you anyway. Opinions in this comment section are not offensive to the author of this website, Blogger or its affiliates.

Don't suffer a4g, I think the Onion reported that inaccurately.
