Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 04, 2010

If they knew why, they might not laugh.

Unfortunately, mine tend to make people cringe.

Yep!

This link, I am reposting on Facebook and elsewhere:

Ha ha! So, you dare to laugh, eh? You will not find it so funny when I roll my Big Rock over your soft, weak little toes! Ha ha!

An optimist feels that this is the best of all possible worlds. A pessimist is afraid the optimist is right.

I got a good laugh #in#, #out# of that one!!!!

I got a good laugh #in#, #out# of that one!!!!

I got a good laugh ‘in’, ‘out’ of that one!!!!

I got a good laugh #in#, #out# of that one!!!!

Hey T and Vlad. Half a hah…To be c for the other half

victor1234, I see that you are living up to the numbers in your name. :-)

When a person is ripped it’s not clear if even they know why they are laughing.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and quite a few people will laugh anyway.

If you haven’t seen the Skype laughter chain:

One thing about myself: I tell stories; http://www.chargedbarticle.org/barticlesblog.html

One true thing about myself. I dislocated my shoulder playing football without pads. A hit popped it out, but I fell on that shoulder and partially popped it back in. Unfortunately, the “doctors” said it was a “stinger” and sent me home with some pills. The shoulder hurt badly for 2 more years before I accidentally popped it the rest of the way back in one morning.

Best day of my life.

One true thing about me. I have 33 brothers and sisters. Two of them are from my mom, and 31 from my dad. I only have half-brothers. My oldest sister is Argentine, and about four years younger than my mother. I have siblings in Colombia, Honduras, USA, and Spain, at least that I know of. My dad was very handsome.

I wear men’s underpants.

I am proud, thrilled, and excited no end to be able to bring you the actual “ARNOLD EHRET’S Mucusless-Diet Healing System”, online. You will now be able to cure your cancers, your bad hearts, your life-destroying illnesses - all caused by constipation (see - you didn’t even know THAT much, did you?). No, no thanks are necessary - I do this out of my love for humanity.

Constipation: A clogging up of the entire pipe system of the human body.

Here I must apologize, Teresa - there is nothing actually “true” about me…

Not even my alleged “love of humanity”.

TRUTH– My best male friend’s last name IS Friend and He says being someones so called buddy sucks.

1sadtruething: I swore I’d never get fat again. But sadly… 1happytruething: I have a better life and family than I ever expected or deserved.

OK… What? I can only laugh half my head off???

One true thing: once, a very long time ago, while working as a night janitor at a large shopping mall in Pennsylvania, I smoked a leafy, green illicit substance in the empty enclosed hall. Leaving some paraphernalia in plain sight, I then went out into the beautiful spring evening and climbed a tree, just to … enjoy it. Along came a police officer and tested the mall entrance door to make sure it was locked, but of course I’d forgotten to lock it. Suddenly quite straight, I called out to him in the friendliest terms, that I was indeed up in the tree, an idiot, and not breaking any law, just enjoying a lovely air of a spring evening. (Deep breath … all was well.) I laughed for several consecutive hours afterward.

BTW, thanks for linking me up: http://bassoprofundo1.blogspot.com/

One true thing: Being fifth generation Californian, my family (Moms side-Reed) was part of the Donner Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party) that attempted a crossing of the Sierra Nevadas into California that ran into much difficulty and (some members) resorted to cannibalism to stay alive.

Re book burning- does anyone else see two people making whoopie on one page and half a face on the other?

A thing about me is often the aroma of food cooking. I enjoy playing with food even more than playing with language.

I married my H.S. sweetheart. We lived in heck for 7 yrs. I Met a North Carolina Girl online. She came to visit and has been here for 2 days. I’m finally in love for the first time. (This ain’t no Once-upon-A-Time story)

1 true thing.

In grad school I had a mascot, a Gumby which I glued a little mortarboard (graduation hat) on his head. I brought him to my thesis defense and had him sit on a desk.

When I took my comps, my professor told me not to bring Gumby. The night before my comps I went to the room where it was scheduled and him Gumby when only I could see it.

RE: Fan blogs.

Not sure if it counts. I just wanted a place away from the go-comics overlords where we could post comments about the blog.

So, hopefully with your permission:

One true thing about me: I make a note of Sherlock Holmes’ birthday on my calendar each year.

@ Radfish. So how many sunflower seed does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Roll Tootsie-Pop?

One true thing: I am addicted to 1950s-’60s era Looney Tunes cartoons, especially Sylvester and Tweety.

One true thing: I love semi-classical music, mainly because of the Warner Brothers and Looney Tunes cartoons I watched as a child growing up.

One true thing: I intend to keep working. I have to, my to do list keeps getting longer. And besides, I’ve seen too many people retire and then become hopelessly lost in nothingness.

I have numerous Web sites which could be listed as a fan link, but I think I’ll go with my anti-Chevron, “save Ecuador” blog, ‘cause it’s for a good cause:

Thank you Teresa, for the exposure!

One true thing about myself:

I have no depth perception. This can be fixed with surgery, but I tend to procrastinate a lot, so I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

True Fact: I’m old and feeble and my pilot light has gone out What used to be my sex appeal is now just a water spout.

One true thing (also relates to today’s FB):

As a kid I occasionally got to ride on the back of a Galapagos tortoise about three times the size of the one pictured in the Blog. I’d suspend an overripe apricot or banana on a stick out in front of his/r (?) nose to activate the less-than-E-ticket-ride! The estate (a wealthy estate our family grocery business delivered weekly call-in orders to) where this happened also had peacocks and other exotic animals to see.

From the web recently: Book Burning - “English Lit”.

If they knew why they were laughing, they wouldn’t think it was all that funny.

Two true things about me:

1 - I played the trombone in junior high.

2 - I once proposed marriage to Shytimes2.

P.S. As far as I know these phenomena are unrelated .

Hey there miss Burrit. Posted the true thing about me yesterday. here’s my blog (in which I praise your illustrations/demonstrate my stalkerish ways I think)

“Lorenzo de’ Medici, the patron of 3 point perspective art, had no depth perception himself.”

That’s right, but he had Samantha Argus of Safe Havens to teach him.

One thing about myself: I’ve been to 47 of the 50 US states.

i have pentagrams on my hands - not tattoos, natural no other lines except for those
