Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 04, 2021

Then make time!

an argument about words.“The final word must be left to the thousand late-night logomachies.”

I doe know abought u, butt inn mid-dle town is a lap top bar. Middle Monopoly rules my middle class life.

If it don’t rhyme, we’ll make it rhyme.

…as a lawyer…

…arguing about words is sort of my thing…

..yea ol’ gray area…

…yes, eventhough we don’t enforce you wearing a mask…

…or getting vaccinated…

…if you still get sick..

..the contract states it is all on you…

…see…

…it’s, sometimes not even what was said…

…you have to read between the lines…

…" I prefer my people not to be captured,"…

…could be a not so subtle put down of John McCain(and therefore all POWs)…

…or, it could also mean…

…I wish that none of our troops would ever get caught…

…white man speak with forked tongue…

…or put in less racist rubbish …

…lawyers are taught to speak in legalese…

…we are taught never to speak the courage of our convictions…

…never to paint ourselves into a legal corner…

…because us lawyers are like life jackets…

…everyone hates them until they need one…

…then everyone wants the best one they can get…

…sure Nathan Hale can say that he regrets he only has one life to give to his country…

…but never mention he is a Hindu…

…that is why you should always follow a politician that only speaks in legalese…

…therefore, they will always say what you want to interpret them to have said…

…it’s a ruse,but one that deceives you into believing anything you want…

…sure…

…me and mine got vaccinated…

…but I wouldn’t if I were you…

…it’s just a plot to put microbes into your bloodstream so the government an follow you…

…and never mind that I am the government…

…this message is brought to you by the Mike Pence 2024 presidential campaign…

I always thought it was “no time for sergeants”. Or was it “no time for love”?

Perhaps “no chance to survive make your time”?

Nor any use, for them.

The sign of the times, afterwards or post toasties.

Andy Griffith did it better.

Do patent leather shoes really reflect up?

I don’t know if that was the best way of putting it.

… In Disney’s Froglandia version of ‘The Little Mermaid’, Ariel’s deal with Ursula went horribly wrong …

Word!

I always thought Gulf Oil’s logo was boring as hell. Now Mobil, before it was Exxon Mobil, with the red Pegasus where the end of the tail looked like a hand, that was cool.

I’m surprised the word of the day wasn’t podophilia.

hey got legs for days

Logomachy etymology:

From the Greeks … logos (word) + makhia (fighting)

Who gnu …?

Kilkenny cats never had legs like these, but still, I won’t be baited into your word quodlibetarianism. You’ll only find picture books in my library.

Posture, ladies.

…re-the blog…

…that 1st button is a very forthright button…

Humpty Dumpty always gets the last word.

Leggo my logomachy.

Not at a time like this. Action is our only hope.

Something to serenade you while you Google

Word up.

But Idle Chatter is the very STUFF of this esteemed Board of Commentary, and if at times there be disagreement, well, let the battling begin, and may the best Word win! Froglandian Rules of Engagement apply.

Up with skirts! Down with pants!

Frog Applause: come for the lameness, stay for the lexicon.
