Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 15, 2016

Stick them in the buffer, that’ll show em.

No gamblers, no crap shooters, no midnight ramblers.

I specifically booked a no-smoking carriage!

The automobile was considered a great boon to the environment, as it cleared the streets of the copious piles of horse manure with which they had been paved previously.

Along with a reduction in anaerobic bacteria, such as those causing gangrene, came a reduction in the flies that fed the frogs that applauded the progress of man.

Since that time, the word “Progressive” has been tied to a movement to bring back streets paved with gold.

Legitimate historians are uncertain as to whether this was used as a benediction or a malediction. The illegitimate historians are still grinding away with it.

Schlurp!

 

Now THOSE are what I call word balloons.

.. early sketch up of Bob Dylan’s Slow Train Coming’s lp cover art..…West World’s robot kids have to draw something……my homemade pumpkin video recorder is going to sell once I get some seed money……looks like Terry’s train of thought went a little off track……my old Daniel Boone raccoon tail hat didn’t need no flaps…… tinsel? Back in my day we didn’t need no tinsel…we just stuck chewing tobacco in our ears……my Sergeant licks his privates……up his little sleevies’…

… it’s art because without specifically telling us we can assume it’s the old west…

Folksome Prison Blues is playing in the background.

And yes… where IS the tinsel?

Anyone know where Tinsel Town is?

People discovering that their boring lives are more interesting than a corn maze.

Those stupid Orange people please stay in the pumpkin patch

Say goodnight Donald and goodbye

Amusing how irrelevant today were the concerns of 1980s leftists.

Tinsel Town is a television drama co-produced by BBC Scotland. Produced and broadcast in the wake of 1999’s controversial TV drama Queer as Folk, and promoted as a “Scottish version” of that series, Tinsel Town was defined by its broadcaster as “a cutting-edge saga of life and love in Glasgow club land”.

Continuing nuclear proliferation should be of concern to anyone who is a critical thinker.

Hayrack rides through a pumpkin patch is always fun..

Dear Pres. Reagan, I hate vegetables, especially the ketchup served in school.

The Christmas Train is just not the same without the tinsel hanging above it.

A rope swing on the World Tree, arcing out over the infinite void.

That’s what I like to see.

Is this not The Polar Express with Tom Hanks voicing the Conductor?

No?

So I guess we won’t see Santa either?

Milo will have a heart attack before any hydrogen bomb incinerates him.

And I would not touch the “Tuesday Surprise”!

Buddy, better get on down the line!

Buddy, better get on down the line!

Here comes 97, making up some time!

Got a ton of coal poured down the stack!

This is 97 at your back!

 

Get that durned steam-carriage contraption off our streets and outta my way, and shut those Rubber-room Inmates up, too!

Carriages powered by engines will never catch on. They are an abomination, and they frighten the horses. You just mark my words. This foolishness will soon come to an end.
