Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 09, 2022

Castanets: (1) cable, (2) snare drum (rim mount), (3) common.

(3) are vulgar all right, they look like truck nuts.

Spanish castanets are much like castanholas vulgares.

why those vulgar castanets!

The frozen dessert and The Cha Cha. Wow you laugh too?

We got the beat in the Beatles w/Les from The News Beat.

Oh, how I wish I could put castanets in my mouth!!

…and now on Froglandia radio…

…The March Of The Vulgares…

…next up…

…We Are The C.I.A. …

…by The Peace Corp…

…later…

…drawing nudes in public…

…and did Alicia Keys ever open for the Doors?…

…Santana plays Enter Sandman…

…and Adam Lambert doesn’t have the chops to replace Freddie Mercury…

…and can Volkswagen Beetles sing money can’t buy me love…

The third degree is the presentation of the instruments of the inquisition, and an explanation of their use, as an inducement to production of ‘correct’ responses to questioning.

As a former Castanet performer, I’ve given up my clackers and palillos to my successor, who is a wicked but charming gal!

Just what I need this morning! A couple of Spanish Flamenco dancers stompin’ around in my head clickin’ their vulgares! Bad enough all those vulgar pink flamingos in my front yard!!

You say vulgar, I am sure.

Looks like someone has fairly refined tastes, but unfortunately her image has the sure look of a Photoshop fail.

Clap happy.

For a particular reason: La Cucaracha …!

“de caixa clara” my a$$. That’s a fancy hamburger press.

P.S. If “de caixa clara” is Swahili for hamburger press then please ignore this comment.

Stripper’s prefer modern machined caster jets.

Machined nozzles parts, once or twice in a two year period. Some cast iron car wash pumps too.

Where the factory belches every day.

I should sell my story to the Powerball winner…

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation

With a black-haired flamenco dancer

You know she dances while his father plays guitar

She’s suddenly beautiful

Nox vulgaris. Pax vulgaris.

I wonder what she stomps on while using her finger clackers? Probably the hearts of all her spurned lovers.

Oh, look! Castanets, in their various manifestations, and spoken in Portuguese, too! No wonder all the Spanish-speakers can’t clack along!
