Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 18, 2019

Well, you’re $15 ahead of most of us. I win nothing but products that the store has run out of, and which I really didn’t want anyway.

Hey Hey at the GOcer grocer

I’m the same way when I win a free pick.

Do you drive a race car now?

Played store monopoly for months, finally gave up.

Talented giraffe, to be able to play a scratch-off game.

… the Save-A-Lot Monopoly game seems a good way to get some scratch…

… is that a looong stem or a short ascender?…

… or simple Froglandia font graphic that means it could be (or is) either…

… I mean it is higher than an x, but not so high as you would suspect…

… haughty or naughty?…

… it changes things, right?!?…

… but then I have enough trouble with English…

… let alone Giraffe…

… anywho…

…I know how the giraffe feels…

… I scratched a tic off my forearm and it felt like a win…

… back to my coffee…

Money can’t buy happiness, they say,But it can buy haughtiness, by shipload.

That last word was changed of course, lest the overlords be perturbed.

$15 dollars may bring your gas gauge above 1/4 full, or below 3/4 empty into the gas tank of your vehicle

Could you lend me $10?

Our 11 year old granddaughter loves to collect the Monopoly theme game pieces from a local chain supermarket but isn’t organized enough to do anything with them.

Room and Board at my red hotels and green houses.

I played tha game twice. The best I ever got was filling up all the prizes except for the last piece on all of them. Turns out they rig it that way. No one wins anything. Not even a sausage.

There’s a place called park place where we use a diving board in the Hotel.

Gave up on Monopoly scratch games … I’m waiting for the Parcheesi version …!

Dear, sweet Geoffrey! Who could have foreseen the end of the Toys R Us gig?

Now, unbow your head.

For truly, you are

The master of your fate:

The captain of your Monopoly ship.

Yes, we have a winner here!

I expect Sister to share her bounty with the worthy Froglandian charity, The Little Orphans of the Lame and Lame House….

“…Like a giraffe on rollerskates” used to grace a now shuttered webpage.

That’s way better than the $10 you’d get for winning second prize in a beauty contest!

Can I buy Puff The Magic Dragon and Rubber Neck Giraffe? And put 4 houses on each followed by 1 hotel on each?

… though it isn’t Lois posing in bathing suits, today’s artwork is spectacular…

I just saw a great picture of giraffes walking down a road,

taken from their colorful behinds.

Never look back.
