Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 30, 2010

Well! It’s about time, young lady!

I myself don’t “thingamajig,” but I do approve of self-instruction….

I used to know a guy who shot drugs in his veins. He referred to his needle as a “thingamajig.”

Dancing the Thingama Jig!

Better leave it alone. You’ll go blind.

Next to the dohickey!!!! Some gizwiz, and gizmo too!!!! I had a dodad somewhere!!!!\ And not the whatchamacallit!!!! OH FIDDLESTIKS GARSHDARNIT Let’s get Pete Overshoe!!!!

Please invite me to see the Sunday blog, otherwise, Sunday will be a Sad day…

You see thingamajigging, I see a football official who tripped while signaling a touchdown.

Frog Applause : often puzzling; mostly whimsical; sometimes incomprehensible. But never, never boring!

It gets my day started off right.

Whimsical? Hmmmm,, literally I guess the adjective fits, but one I’d never associate with FA. To me, whimsical is more appropriately used for fabric prints or squash & pine nut flambe. Seems like when Teresa does it, there ought to be a stronger description for something beyond whimsical. Whimsical with a sledgehammer.

OK, so I’ve taken to reading the BLOG just once a week (on Monday) so that there’s more to read (this is why I missed and misunderstood Grace Avatar day).

But I couldn’t believe it when I saw the “007 Electric Drawing Set”. Not only did I get this for Christmas when I was a boy, but I still have the lighted tracing table that came with it AND I still use it regularly for tracing drawings.

Amazing!

what’s so amazing about being a packrat?

oo, that was unkind….

sorry!

Bad lighting can be key to a good round of thingamajigging

Hmmmm, not sure where I fit in the Etymology chart; but then I was never very good at fitting in.

I was told never to thingamajig, or I’d go blind… dang! Now where’s my service dog gotten off to?

On the blog, Leadbelly’s first name is Huddie, not Huddle. Where’s the whip, where’s the whip, go get the whip! Now where has that boy gotten off to?

I stopped thingamajigging when I needed glasses.

The picture appears to be what happens to me when I’m too clumsy at thingamajogging.

scary newspaper - gm says prices are too low oh, and starkweather, one of the eviller rebels without a cause

There is something whimsical and magical in the way Teresa views the world around her. The collages and montages of her strip express that in various ways.

Sometimes, she lets us see a bit of herself though the artwork and commentary.
