Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 17, 2016

Of course not Teresa, that’s what Vlad was for.

More of a roundhouse kick to the toe(toe to toe).

Previously, on Frog Applause…

Thanks to all, Happy, Happy, Happy!!!, BrassOrchid, and now Alexikakos, for helping me avoid future branding….

I am nobody’s sidekick!

Who is this “Nobody”? Is it as in Odysseus’ mocking of blinded Polyphemos? A pseudonym for an unnamed hero(ine)? St. Teresa of the Lame?

Sidecar bunny.

Good to clear these things up at the outset. Now let’s cross over and see how the other half lives, eh?

Not a sidekick, but a Second Banana.

If I were a sidekick, I’d be a kick*ss sidekick!

Ever wonder how this term originated? From Wikipedia:“The term originated in pickpocket slang of the late 19th and early 20th century. The “kick” was the front side pocket of a pair of trousers, and was found to be the pocket safest from theft. Thus the pickpocket’s “side-kick” became an inseparable companion."I actually don’t understand this explanation. For example, what is a “front side pocket”? Come to think of it, there’s not much I do understand.

If you are not the hero of your story, you are in somebody else’s story. But you cannot know your story until you have lived it to its completion. You may see the stories of others, that they cannot, because of your external perspective. If you know that you are a sidekick in their story, they have become a sidekick in yours. This is known as the reflexive property of the sidekick, and is similar in nature to the reflective property of the arch enemy, where one is the negative complement of the other.-Excerpt from the Frogapedia Gentleman’s Compendium of Comic Lore©.

Yes you are. Everyone aways kicks you to the side! LOL. SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME!!

“Not a sidekick, but a Second Banana.”-With no appeal! LOL. I am yukking it up this afternoon, everyone! Whoo-hoo!

Kato now believes that OJ was guilty.You just can’t get good friends these days.It’s like they are all made in China at Foxconn.I’m just as mad as a hornet and I’m not going to take it any more. I suppose I could just Leave It, but 90125 isn’t even a real California zip code.It’s always something.

I was driving past the ice rink. It was really hot out. The sign said that they had open adult skating. It’s not what it sounds like, though.
