Aaaaaaand, back to the amusing 19th century slang for a moment:
To STRUM. To have carnal knowledge of a woman; also to play badly on the harpsichord.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
VICE ADMIRAL OF THE NARROW SEAS. A drunken man that pisses under the table into his companions' shoes.
Huh, their shoes must look an awful lot like a chamber pot. They usually kept one under the table just for those events.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
To STRUM. To have carnal knowledge of a woman; also to play badly on the harpsichord.
Probably because in the 19th century, the harpsichord was used in porno live sex shows.
OK, I made that up....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Do the "companions" have their shoes off at the time, I hope!
Somehow I am imagining this slang in sort of a "Dude, Where's My Car?" type voice!

You should print an especially scary picture from My Cat Hates You and tape that up....

Maybe they're hoping she'll have a "Network" moment and *completely* decompensate...
1) I always knew Ann Coulter and Tom Cruise were meant for each other.
2) Interestingly enough, Matt Lauer has endured them both with his customary nice-guy frustration. You know that if Bryant Gumbel were still around, he'd have reduced them to weeping children with his withering cross-examinations.
3) Yes, I actually liked Bryant Gumbel. That says something about me, doesn't it?

To STRUM. To have carnal knowledge of a woman
I wonder if that's related to the word "strumpet".

We have a baby deer curled up under the tree outside our office window! It's not the first time, either--one (or maybe the same one) was under the same tree on Monday. It's soooo cute!

Always Anti-fascist!
I was always fine with Gumbel, although I could see why he was Punchline Guy a lot. But, yeah, he'd make them look dumb, all right.
