Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 28, 2016

So he’s more than ready to give you his two cents’ worth.

Heads.

I’d need a lot more than 30 pennies, as my forehead goes all the way to the middle of the back of my head.

And today only, forehead penny tiling is available for only $2 per hour, after the first hour for $50. Normal time required for tiling is less than four minutes.

This specimen has more cents than sense. Everyone knows that tiles come loose. What a waste of money! The losses could mount to huge numbers, maybe even thirty cents!

Hope he used a good sealer.

P.S. My favorite part was, “ E PLURIBUS UNUM”

Raise your hand if you actually counted the pennies!

There used to be a bar in Oshkosh, WI that had a bar top tiled in pennies. I’m not sure if they still have that, but I don’t think that they do. I never passed out face-down on that bar though, so I cannot tell if thirty is the correct number for the average forehead.

Copperhead??? Back in the mountains, foothills and river bottoms of East Tennessee that’s a name to be feared!!!

Looks like one of those drawings of anatomy we used to see in TV commercials for Tums or Excedrin.

I’d like 30 pennies for these 4 nickels and 2 dimes.

Oh yea keep the change, stranger.

All the clever comments have been used. All I can add is that I look daily for Rotifer’s “My favorite part is/was…”. It takes real talent to condense one of Teresa’s masterpieces into five words or less (after the setup MFP is/was.)

Godreau’s tech was mostly bio-mechanical. Next to me, he was one of the longest running OOT threads in The Splatter, with thousands of iterations. In his future, they mechanized the unconscious to enable linking. They called it synthetic remote awareness. Some people liked being linked. They loved the clarity and calm and freedom from conscience that came from being remotely controlled. Godreau called them Syners, and could control something like thirty at a time with his augmented awareness. Had he been stupid, he would have been dangerous. But he wasn’t just a traveler. His time tech was his own design. He was an experimenter, victim of his own failure, just like me. Some travelers were volunteers, or even non-voluntary test subjects. Godreau and I, we were just trying to survive an experiment. We became what we call Riders on the OOT loop.
