Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 18, 2011

‘Whipped’ cream?

Loaded with cholesterol.

Cream was a pretty heavy group.

It’s what I put on my Life™.

Beautiful coins. My favorites from the USA are the Augustus St. Gaudens double eagle, the walking liberty quarter, the $4.00 “Stella” and the silver 3-cent piece.

Whipped cream as in Herb Alpert? http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/A/Alpert/herb_alpert.html

My wife always looked forward to a heavy helping of cream.

Action scene: I’m so glad I have never seen the whole movie; I’ve irretrievably lost only 9 and a half minutes of my life… Cool hair dye job, though.

Eric, Jack, and Ginger say hello!

I poured the milk without shaking it . OH, cereal and cream!. When Dad got skimmed milk in his coffee, I had a red butt for a week.

Cream rises to the TOP!

FB has a post today with the word “center” spelled “centre.” Now THAT is classy!

I have some pleasant memories of whipped cream and kinky women. sigh

Fishnet Friday! Now I know how the stockings got their name. He is definitely fishing for something.

MzD-B hope your getting a little cut from all the junk the go-comic overlords are putting in your comments section… (correction) I had to restart the confuser and was signed out of go-comic-land, when I signed in, to make my pithy comment, all the “stuff” went away….

But how could you overlook Alsophilia Grahami?

(I can be had on a technicality on this one)

Churn my spirit, and it turns to butter!

Somehow, I don’t think he’s going to score with this one.

Whoever said, “Poetry is dead” really should have said “Appreciation of poetry is dead!”

Twits: On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.

My spirit is hemorrhoid cream without you.

The Froggy is late!

Regarding animals named after celebrities, my ex has a uromastyx that we named after nubile and talented Arban Ornelas, who is now married to Steve Severin of Siouxsie & the Banshees fame:

No, she doesn’t have an entire species named after her, but she should.

Regarding her blood donating habits, there is something very, very wrong with Teresa if she’s not interested in free Nutter Butters. I’d pretty much let you drain all my blood in exchange for Nutter Butters and a glass of milk.

I notice my undergrad poetry books are almost as dusty as my Bible.

That ham face was scary!

ST2, do you?

On another note, Is that one of the starving Chinese children my mother always told me about?

“Yes, Nancy, we’ll have to use this stick, now that you’ve eaten the banana I was going to use to demonstrate how to put on a condom!”

When I’m sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.

Not sure how to get that link to embed.

Regarding the “Japs Keep Moving” sign, it reminds me of an early Looney Tunes cartoon. It’s one of the greatest animated cartoons of all time, from a technical, parody and musical standpoint. It’s also one of the most racist, which is why almost no one has seen it. Coal Black and De Sebben Dwarves:

There’s a gag in there about “Japs” – you’ll know it when you see it. Of course, the cartoon was not long after Pearl Harbor, when the country wasn’t feeling too charitable toward the Japanese.

The funny part about all the racism was that the creator went out of his way to use black singers and black voice actors, at a time when it wasn’t common to use black people. By all accounts, black people of the era thought the cartoon was hilarious, but of course to modern eyes, it is wall-to-wall stereotypes.

It’s still pretty funny, though, if you can get past the racism. :)

Also missing FA.

(Joins the murmuring crowd, hoping for a glimpse of FA, FB, or their esteemed creator.)

No Froggy on Saturday and no Froggy on sunday. We have to suffer through a no Froggy Monday, too?

Mz. T, I know it is a Federal Holiday today, but I did not know that you observed those!! We want our Froggy fix!!!!

Hope nothing is wrong, Teresa.

Re “Hate” in the Blog:

Yes, a lot of that back during the 40s, I know. My parents bought their first house (in California) in 1945. Years later, my dad showed me the old legal deed, long since paid off. In black and white, it stated quite boldly he was not allowed to sell the house to “anyone of oriental persuasion” - nothing regarding blacks, hispanics, or any other ethnic group, however. Still covered a lot of different peoples, didn’t it?

Imagine seeing something like THAT nowadays?

where my froggy bottom apple thumpkin crumpkin at?
