Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 31, 2020

Sounds pretty slick, except when it sticks to roof of your mouth.

Just make sure you feel that peanut butt for a while before using it to make sure that it is usable. Happy Halloween.

Some people always get their Butt nailed to the Wall-nut!

HAPPY HALLOWEENY O LAME ONES!

Make sure your nut butts are free from hulls, shells, and hemorrhoid cream before processing.

That’s it… in a nut shell … Favorite scary movie: Creature from the Blanched Legume.

fancy cashews are costly

Peanut butter sounds like the latest dance craze in this context.

How do you hold your pants up?

…peanut butt…

…the way Lucy made it up to Charlie Brown for all those years of pulling the football out from under him…

…of course he wanted crunchy and she gave him smooth…

… of course Peppermint Patty liked it both ways …

…yes, sir…

…soon after, Snoopy III shot down the Red Baron ll…

…but at Lincoln Airport…

…geez…

… silly silhouette…

…tricks are for kids…

…butt, butt, butt…

…make him stop…

Responding to the ‘Get Hip to the Jive’ query on the Blog: I’ve been reading FA every day, except when I was in Paris in 2018, for either 10 or 11 years. I have not gone back to peruse the archive except a few times. I worry that it might dilute the salutary tonic of my daily dose. I’m not opposed to it, mind you, but it strikes me as a little daunting.

…yes, it is true…

…I’ve read the whole Frog Applause – at least – twice…

…if not more…

…and deleted my stuff twice as much…

…hmmm…

…and I am glad that the blog is back…

…and front…

…sideways…

…but, on a serious note…

… dementia is a terrible disease…

…my grandfather had it…

…it leaves it mark…

…so, Mz. Burritt, a blessing to you and your family…

…not so much for doing the right thing…

…but for having to do the right thing…

I encountered the very poor term ‘self-dealing’ this year, in reference to our President. Having no prior experience with it, I Googled it, and found that it basically means cheating while performing or assisting in a transaction purportedly involving the benefit of others. Generally it describes the activity of skimming, or embezzling. It’s SUCH a lame term which does nothing to capture the sneaky, vicious, and greedy essentials involved.

It happens when you sit on a rail road track with your heart all a flutter.

Dear Ms. Burritt* 

This concerns your recent entry on your new/old blog thingy and your request for comments about jumping or jiving or some such regarding the FA™ archive.  

When the Research Department at the Frog Applause™ – Rotifer Thalweg Gocomics Appreciation Society (“FARTGAS”) was helping me prepare for the Frog Applause™ 10th Anniversary Extravaganza by digging deep for interesting words and phrases coined or sampled by FA™ over the years, I believe we did read every FA™ all the way back to its inception (including that now famous reference to “snail caviar”). 

Speaking of “digestible proportions”, we (the royal “we”) have boanthropy, which required us to take frequent breaks to graze in the back pasture. Therefore we did not do this all in one sitting.  

Unfortunately, all the research notes were destroyed when Rotifer’s stash of illegal untaxed Italian sourced pasta self ignited last year, and we can’t locate the notes to provide you with the exact dates of any FA™ strips that were referenced in the FA™ 10th Anniversary Extravaganza. 

Sincerely,  

Rotifer’s Mother 

* May I call you Teresa?

To answer your survey, Teresa, i have grazed the FA archive in easily digestible portions for years. i’m sure i haven’t quite read them all, but i’m working on it.

Maybe peanut butter would add to the savour?

Hot Dog to the Frog Blog

Blog Fodder:

T … in your long list of languages spoken by only a handful of people … how many of those have words that specifically mean “LAME” … or even “Comix Brush” ? …… CaFfEiNe …!

As for touring your FA archive, I haven’t even come close to finishing the perusal of my own navel …!

ROTFLMFAO!!! NOT LAME1 YOU OWE ME A NEW KEYBOARD!!!!!

Peanut Butt on a bun ..

Old Irish ballad/lament: Shoecabbage I Hardly Knew Ye

(somewhat attenuated)

While goin’ the road to sweet Athy,

A stick in me hand and a drop in me eye,

A doleful damsel I heard cry,

Shoecabbage I hardly knew ye.

With your drums and guns and drums and guns,

The enemy nearly slew ye

Oh my darling dear, Ye look so queer

Shoecabbage I hardly knew ye.

Where are your eyes that were so mild,

When my heart you so beguiled

Why did ye run from me and the child

Oh Shoecabbage, I hardly knew ye

Where are your legs that used to run,

When you went for to carry a gun

Indeed your dancing days are done

Oh Shoecabbage, I hardly knew ye

I’m happy for to see ye home,

All from the island of Sulloon;

So low in flesh, so high in bone

Oh Shoecabbage I hardly knew ye

Ye haven’t an arm, ye haven’t a leg,

Ye’re an armless, boneless, chickenless egg

Ye’ll have to put with a bowl out to beg

Oh Shoecabbage I hardly knew ye

They’re rolling out the guns again,

But they never will take our sons again

No they never will take our sons again

Shoecabbage I’m swearing to ye

(we hardly knew ye)

Big meaty peanut butt.

Check out the Sean Connery movie The Anderson Tapes if you haven’t seen it.

Peanut butt and cabbage was the dish favored by the scorned even-poorer relations of the poor Irish immigrants in the U.S.A. Corned beef has become pricey, and peanuts are competitive.

A peanut butter I am not. But then (butt then?), who is. So many people are so sensitive to the merest semblance of violence nowadays. It’s more like nowadaze.Butt ye not the peanuts; And so we seek refuge in the lame, becoming expats in Froglandia,, turning verbal tricks for Sister….

Peanut butt-er is 57% butt-er than peanut butt.

THAT’s not how icebergs work. The entire iceberg provides the mass of the thing, and the portion above water can be any part of it. They will, in fact roll to change orientation as mass is lost and the center of gravity shifts.
