Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 18, 2012

Headcheese?

What makes the ad for “The Thing” so funny is that in the movie, it was the scientists who argued against killing the alien.

As I said elsewhere, I am really going to try that velvet cake recipe. We should have a few beets out in our garden waiting to be harvested.

My take on head cheese can be read at the Banquet from Hell.

Head cheese, porno of the Dairy Channel.

The original movie of “The Thing” was, to my way of thinking, far more terrifying than the remake. Not to diss the later version, which had some good effects, but the earlier one was much more of a psychodrama. If you haven’t read the short story it was based on (“Who Goes There”) it’s worth the read.

We all have some of the non-conformist in us, but I’m afraid she may be confusing parquetry with coquetry.

I don’t mind the voices in the head cheese, but when it gets its own show on Fox, that’s just too much.

Blog ‘Lazy Treerabbit’? Well Teresa, maybe I have better things to do than be a substitute for Google translate!Anyway, the voices in my yoghurt told me not to undertake any action today. And they’re usually right.

For what it’s worth, the top line is a play on ‘the true Jacob’.The rest is uninteresting. I will now retire for the day.

The voices in my thesaurus tell me to load my puns.

She’s hiding behind the background.She has voices in her headcheese.Her curtains are wilting.

It’s raining here.

Let’s hear it for microbial cysts ! Give it up for serviceable parquetry ! And let’s give a real shout out to talking head cheese !!

The Kirsten Rothbart drawing looks like a character from “Superjail!”

Don’t be so quick to drop the parquetry class, cheesehead.

A depressed cheese sandwich.

JELLIESposthoc’s suggestion of agars is also good because if one turned out bad, it could be referred to as “Agar the Horrible.”

If the butcher had left Babe, Gordy, and Freddy alone there would be no voices.

…what?

I stop the voices by making a head cheese sandwich and if tongue gets chatty I make a tongue burrito.

that doesn’t look like any of the pipes i used to smoke.

If I gave my wife a copy of “A Year Of Biblical Womanhood” she would drive a tent peg through my chest.

I must confess … I’ve never had a head for cheese.

How serviceable does parquetry need to be?

It is good to see you in such an agreeable mood today! Nothing against anything! Lovably spineless. And, you look like Audrey Hepburn!

Egbert J. Souse’…..accent on the “E”.

If the head cheese starts speaking in tongues… that would be expected.

Voices in your head cheese? You’re not a blonde. LOL.

Teresa,

I added “winglet” to my aviation wordlist on Wordnik. For any who might be interested to see that list, chock-a-block with oddball, colorful and otherwise interesting terminology, click here.

re: pipe smoker.“the true Jacob. the best tobacco and tobacco smoke”.google translate from dutch.

I’m not lazy, Teresa, just unwilling to break my routine of doing nothing .. This is lazy.

Re: FBSo? Spiffy is good!I am honored to be the first outed by TB!

My front yard is full of bleeding hearts – I love them dearly, and not because of my political sentiments. I also love fuchsias.

I attended NYCC in 2009, and loved the experience. Would go again in a bleeding heartbeat if I could.

‘You may be jumping to conclusions about the escalators but I am too lazy to explain why.’I didn’t jump .. requires too much energy ..

Only in their own minds. :o)

One of the worst things about headcheese is the sound it makes when it is sliced on an electric slicer. I worked in a deli department the summer of 1965, and if I close my eyes I can still hear that noise… (shiver)

Why so so many insist on abbreviating “et cetera” as “ect.”?

OK, so how do I get one of those Vlad lapel pins? Does it require a box top or something?

Everybody should watch 3hourtour’s video on the blog and then subscribe to his YouTube channel and leave him a nice comment!

Dear Teresa

It was so very nice of you to post the daguerreotype of Ganny Boom Boom and her cousins, Trashella Swineberg and Lucy Mae Glutz. That’s “Loose Lucy” holding the single shot 12 gauge on her fiance just before the ceremony and just as he escaped and threw himself to the alligators went for a refreshing swim in the swamp.

I can truly say that your interest in Thalweg family history takes a back seat to no other amphibian-related bloggerian.

Sincerely,

/s/ Rotifer’s Mother

P.S. Stay sweet, always strive to strictly comply with the double standards of the GoComics’ overlords, obey your husband, and … VOTE ROMNEY!

RELEASE OF FILES: SISYPHOS IN CHICAGOLANDSisyphos has high insteps.

RE: Blog- Big hat, gloves and glasses, no cattle.

RE:Blog- The “Laughing Devils” painter is Chinese contemporary painter Yue Minjun.

The Wolf with Watermelon has just become my new profile pic over at Facebook.

i am also quite fond of birds…

Elephantine Colossus: The Elephant boasted 34 inexpensive rooms in its stomach, head and feet. Because of the low prices, the rooms attracted a rough crowd — and eventually the oddly shaped rooms were operated as brothels. “Seeing the elephant” became a euphemism for visiting women from the oldest profession.

Re: Blog.Elephantine Colussos……I’ve heard that there was a brothel “on board”..Vulture: I like vultures – they fulfill a purpose..Didn’t the Optica go out of production? Shame if it did..No! Do not punch the llamas.

My goodness, that’s a large hat on that woman on the Blog from yesterday. It appears she’s carrying around the Sydney Opera on her head.

‘Amalgamated Teresa (FA/FB/FAT, et al) is easily the most plunderbunded art venue this side of the Sydney Opera House. Just what kind of two bit, pump and dump, quasi-ithyphallic racket do you think she runs around here?’-———————————————-I had to look up ‘ityphallic’. And plunderbunded. Also pump and dump. And amalgamated. Then I got tired.Anyway, it’s raining again.

The use of contractions and abbreviations in informal speech and writing is not generally considered improper grammar. The correct abbreviated form for “et cetera”. however, is “etc.”, not “ect.”

You end up with the rooster cage and ping-pong France.

Wish the Charlie Brown chart said “Worst pain” instead of “Worse pain”.

Obliviously (sic), he sent Vlad an e-mail or two, which resulted in providing folders-ful of unsolicited material for days. Oh, and he got Vlad’s e-mail address right. Am I close?
