Your RBR Word of the Day: eleemosynary

Printeleemosynary \el-uh-MOS-uh-ner-ee\, adjective:
1. Of or for charity; charitable; as, "an eleemosynary institution."
2. Given in charity; having the nature of alms; as, "eleemosynary assistance."
3. Supported by or dependent on charity; as, "the eleemosynary poor."
Even a coach of Nick Saban's power can't ignore that most venerable of eleemosynary institutions, the charity golf tournament.

his expression shows the proper motivation and drive...
…relative to his desire to convey the seriousness of the cause, a’ight?
How IS he at golfing anyway?
I played like 4 times in MY LIFE! The 2nd time I played, it was at Torrey Pines (my buddy’s gift to all his groomsmen, he was married at Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego) I hacked away on so many holes. . . . by the 12th hole (you had to hit it on what appeared to be “an island” in the ocean) I made the green on my first shot. Then. . . took 5 shots to make it in the cup. I was all ranting and raving at how sloppy my “short game” was. My buddy, when it’s all quiet and all- so EVERYONE could hear, says to me, “Tristan, dude! You’re not GOOD ENOUGH to be mad at your game. Take it easy!”

at first glance
I thought it looked more like he was wondering why am I doing this.
kleph, you took the words out of my mouth. . .
. . .so here’s a different tack (as in sailing tack):
Coach really does give his all for charity. That’s really something I don’t believe most of the haters of Tide football in general and Coach Nick Saban in specific- give him much credit for. If it isn’t for the troops, it’s for the institution. He’s out there for ex-coaches or players who’ve fallen on hard times or he’s out there doing something for the underprivileged kids of the community.
It’s weird, a lot of attributes that I truly admire in a coach like Nick Saban- is hated on by a good number of people who belong in a good number of communities throughout America? What gives?

agreed
i firmly believe saban is sincere in his efforts when he does things for charity. i have read his book “how good do you want to be?: A champions guide to success in life on and off the football field” and the guys seems more like an empassioned CEO than he does machiavellian football coach. at his heart, saban is a genuinely good dude. a hard worker who came up from hard working west virginia roots. it seems people either have their pre-conceived notions about a wildly successful coach and what he MUST be like. however truth be told, if Saban really were the type of person his detractors claim he is, he wouldn’t be anywhere close to where he really is, in terms of success as a coach, father, and ;leader of young men….
case in point Mark Ingram and his father. everyone knows mark ingrams dad played under saban at mich state. and while some might say that is evidence that saban didn’t do a good enough job with him, i would say that since mr. Ingram knew he had made some serious mistakes in his recent life, that he remembered on and thought about his relationship with coach saban, and even though he was on is way for a short prison stint, he thought it best to have his son go across the country to be mentored by coach Saban. to me that speaks volumes about saban, mr ignram, and the young mark ingram.

I don't know how
he uses an overlapping grip. I have always been partial to the interlocking.

his righthand pinky overlaps his index finger on his left. This is an overlapping golf grip.

Funny part
is that I did not have any intention on that being dirty until you posted. I see where your mind is bammer!! :)

Coach Saban...
…also just gave the $50,000 charitable grant for winning the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award to the Nick’s Kids Fund. In addition, the University Alumni Association received a $20,000 scholarship grant in honor of Coach’s award.
You had me at "ROLL TIDE"!!!
On top of the $1 million he gave last year to the Kids Fund
So…you are saying that Saban isn’t the money-grubbing keister everyone makes him out to be?
But…But…But…all my Aubie “friends” will be so dissappointed!

Great word Todd
I’ve heard it used before and only understood it from a syntactical perspective. I now know of it’s true definition thanks to you.
In further researching the word this morning, I was surprised to find that it’s etymological root is derived from. . . .Latin. ???? (eleemosyna/eleemosynarius: = alms)
Awesome.

Can you imagine if we were playing hide-n-go-seek. . . . .
. . . .and there’s was a “home base”? Remember, if the seeker went too far from home base, he/she either had to tag you or touch home base as they “called you out”- OR. . .YOU (if you were hiding) could book it on over real and touch home base, to be “safe”?
And then there’s John, the seeker in those pants?
The sound of those argyle pants “a-swishing and a-swashing” so incredibly fast, and like flint to a fire- he starts to smoke between the legs???
Knowing my neighborhood friends, someone might yell out (with a disgarded, yet serviceable butt of a cigarette in their lips), “Hey John, yo! Can I get a light?”

OUCH!
Did your parents do that you girls too? My mom would punish me with Dial soap in my mouth until my ears frothed over with suds if I got “fresh” with her or said a “cuss” word. (“frick”, “dang it”, “sheee”, “gay”, even “butt” QUALIFIED with her !!!)
But that wasn’t even the bad part! The worse was when my mom would pull me into the bathroom and hold my fat head down under the sink BY YANKING THE CRAP-OLA on my EAR! Sometimes BOTH. It hurts me right (write) now even remembering those days. And there were, LOTS!
Gotta be one of them most painful of all forms of corporal punishments a parent can dish out. Word.

HIDEOUS...
BTW, PREVIEW is your friend. THEN you would know if your pic works. Just sayin’.
You had me at "ROLL TIDE"!!!
not if it’s in your browser cache and the source domain blocks it loading off site (as happened to me above).
Not sure about what all that means...
I just know I always check it before I post, and preview works for me in showing the pic or not.
You had me at "ROLL TIDE"!!!
if you link to a picture that is in your browser cache but the site that hosts it blocks others from loading it, you will see it but everyone else will not. unless you refresh your cache, of course. so the preview looks fine but, as in my case above, all anyone else sees is an empty image box or the evil red “x”
I rarely, if ever
“preview” anything I write. If I do, I’ll spend about another 5 minutes editing. Why bother? Most will get the gist, if not. Oh well?
