Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 04, 2013

No, it’s doo-doo.

Aw rats.

“Lovemaking kit” is not what they’re calling it in the police report.

Interesting Swiss VW ad on the blog. It’s worth noting that the convertible Beetle seen in the ad is very different from the convertible Beetles most Americans are familiar with.

It’s a Type 14A, also known as a Hebmüller Cabriolet. They had much more aesthetically pleasing lines than the later ragtop Bugs, and were only built through 1953.

Also on the blog: Syndactyly. I know a girl who has that. Two of her toes on each foot appear to be fused. They don’t look webbed, though.

Oh, no! Have you checked your caboodle?

So, that’s not Spanish Fly then?

A rat by any other name still leaves rodent droppings.

Great photo of a train in snow! I just took the train from Sacramento to Truckee after a big snowfall – it was gorgeous.

I thought “forest” come from the Latin forestem silvam (outside woods) and “forest” is just another word for “woods”. Of course, my authority solely rests on the fact that my name derives from the Celtic word for “woods”.

You’re right—not HaikuA mere fifteen syllablesHaiku Ewe would weep

no rodent droppingsbesmirch my lovemaking kitbut your DNA…

So. The twisted pathto a heart opens oft withnonsense and wonder.

Anyone interested in a memorable and enlightening treatment of people with severe birth defects should read Katherine Dunn’s 1989 novel “Geek Love.”

Rodent droppings? This must refer to the controversial plan by the Allies in WW II to drop infected rats on tiny parachutes behind the German lines to weaken and demoralize the German army.Of course in the end they scrapped the plan when they found it was more effective to send Patton instead (who, by the way, was already building a reputation for his spontaneous haikus at press conferences).

Any form of verse that mentions rodent droppings is lowku.

You’d think more of those EYES would be bloodshot.

I assume this is the American kit and not British slang.

We don’t need no stinkin’ kit.

Worse than STDs.

I love your blog.

Weren’t those older squid tasty?

I have two sets of syndactled (?) toes on each foot and a big toe. So, it looks like I have three toes.

Another Wikipedia hoax exposed!

At least we can trust Frog Blog.

Sounds like someone’s pussy cat isn’t doing its job.

I think that the octopuses are squids.

Why must you keep a lovemaking kit?
