Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 26, 2019

For their next selection, the Get Down Turn Around And Spit Community Chorus and Curling Team will attempt their version of “I’m So Miserable Without You, It’s Just Like Havng You Around” ….

Seems a bit unsightly, the appearance of vulgarity goings on, to win over during its reign is a righteous act of The Almighties help.

Vulgar indeed. ‘90s or ’teens; a draft dodger who made big bucks in iffy real estate was investigated & all they found was that both are womanizing sleezebags. I don’t care who started it, both parties go to your rooms.

Vulgar wins the Triple Crown….“Never look a gift horse in the mouth”, the appearance off the mouth may be vulgar. Who cares, this gift is to be anything like magnificent. What a craze, Vulgar wins, hip hip hip hooray..

That guy is so vulgar, and that guy, and her, and him… and that other dude, too.

The pyramid of the vulgar, topped with the one true vulgarian.

The common folk. My People. We don’t care how a thing really is. We only care about how it seems to be in current presentation. We swoop and turn like fish or starlings, in flight from we know not what, toward we know not where, on a whim and a whisper.

“Okay. Nice. But who wrote that up there on our church wall? We want answers!”

Vulgar is as vulgar does.

That is SO Machiavellian.

Well observed. Ever notice how much chaff is mixed in with and totally obscuring the wheat? Well observed, and lamely commented upon.

The Queen of Froglandia put on a show for the vulgar multitudes.

Probably one of the lamest things Macchiavelli ever said. I’m offended. belch

Police Officer: Did you see a vulgar crowd go by in the last 30 minutes?

Store Clerk: a a a a ww hh aa tt, are you um aa aa ….

Police Officer: Don’t you know a vulgar crowd when you see one? They consist of The Vulgar, like Chief Man over thar.

Which is not to say deplorable.

From Latin “vulgus” meaning common person.

“I’m not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.” Niccolo Machiavelli

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to enslave a people that wants to remain free.” Niccolo Machiavelli

“The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.” Niccolo Machiavelli

Stark lack of subliminal and poetry today. Lame.

A quote from Machiavelli is a good starting point for a Frog Applause Food For Thought ’toon. And drawing a gaggle of simple linear entities is an easy visual of the Vulgar. Hoi polloi “The Mob—I loathe them.”

I am so taken by the appearances of this ’toon. Yeah, I know what that means. Wanna hear me belch?
