Thursday Word
It’s a good day today. And the Thursday Word reflects that. That’s all I’m giving you because last week the word was figured out by 5:30am.
Here’s yesterday’s caption competition winners:
1. MarkG - “For the first time in history big nostrils and too much nose hair paid off.” AND “Fastest Melbourne Cup ever as horses hit light speed”. Both brilliant.
2. ausspud - “Melbourne Cup to be run again due to the appearance of a mysterious black line.”
Honourable Mention: Various poor taste Sarah Jessica Parker gags. Ouch, guys.
Today’s Word of the Week is something that a number of people are.
Quade Cooper is one in New Zealand. You could say George Bush was one, both in the States and around the world. Kevin Rudd was one in the Labor Party, although perhaps not anymore.
It’s Thursday, what’s on your mind Punchers? Also, here’s some of the best captions from yesterday’s caption competition.

Maybe Palone, but at least I’m capable of posting a reply in the right place! What was that you were saying about ignorance? Read more »

Dash.. Can’t help you with details about Craig Emerson, but I’m sure you can catch up with him on Google. And if you want to consumate a relationship with some ALP lover you have I don’t want to know. Or perhaps you would be able to rake up enough cash… Read more »
I’m a bit jumpy about this Thursday’s Word. It might be a little too easy to figure out. But they haven’t been popular for a while, so I guess it might have a lot of bounce.
It’s Thursday. It’s another big day in federal politics with a big immigration vote set to hit the house - maybe. What’s on your mind, ladies and gents?

The Gillard government comes under a lot of this Thursday Word in the comments section of The Punch. It’s not the word disapproval. It could have something to do with it. Or maybe it’s not.
Guess we’ll have to see.
UPDATE 11:30am: And see we did! Davida is the winner for “animadversion”. The word means “criticism or censure”; “a comment or remark, especially a critical one”. Congrats Davida! And I’m glad someone got the word this week.
It’s Thursday. What’s on your mind, Punchers?
