Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 16, 2016

My cat pandiculates with far more grace than I could ever manage.

It’ll be a stretch, but sure, why not?

Keep your pandas to yourself.

Frog Applause sends me scurrying to the dictionary more often than almost any other source. Very educational!

She’s wearing out my dictionary!

I stretch, I yawn, I scratch.

I think that covers it.

Then you are all wide-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Group pandiculation should be discouraged as it would ruin the spontaneity and could lead to formalisation and standardisation. Nobody wants to see synchronised pandiculation become an Olympic sport.

A yawn and then a stretch is a silent scream for coffee..

has this anything whatever to do with the trans-pandiculate-gargle-blaster? Or maybe that was pan-galactic. Or was pan-galactic a Satyrical riff on Branson? I just need to take up a bit more space for a moment.

Miss Teresa’s kind of doing the cruise director thing this morning. I like it.

IMHO my morning constitutional is more important… and certainly more gratifying.

Pig-picture analytication predicates panticulation (and I can proffer powerful proof).

Thank you for the new word, and for prompting me to research how to comment in italics!t

So if we all stretch, that’s panpandiculation.

I wish I could pandiculate like my sister Kate.

Oh, we’re in FA; I thought I stumbled upon the color version of Shoe Cabbage.

Yep. then a few jumping jacks and a walk with the doggies.

I love words and reading about their origins. Ampersand, “&”, used to be a part of the alphabet. http://blog.dictionary.com/ampersand/

Careful your pandiculation is not mistaken for gesticulation.

I dunno. This suggestion for togetherness sounds kinda hinky to me. I prefer to do my pandiculation in private!

This looks like a death portrait. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/31/victorian-death-portraits_n_2591312.html

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II resumes monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

I tried to get fancy and make my comment italicized. I know how to start it, but I can’t stop it. Runaway italics!

Add another _ at the end of your sentence.

No spaces between the period and the _
