Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 19, 2023

…dadaists want their mommies…

…that is one lameas$ fart…

…calling Frog Applause anti-humor is not funny…

…because it is not what FA says…

…it’s what it doesn’t say…

…you have to read between the lines…

…it’s not like a party in your mouth…

…it’s like bring your mouth to the party…

…Mz. Burritt…

…[ it is never, ‘Teresa’]…

…unlike so much mass media…

…as a non denominal media…

…is not telling you what to think…

…but daring you to think…

…FA is not a tiresome forever repeat of a repeat of a repeat …

…ie Calvin & Hobbes…

…if I see that episode one more time…

…I’ll see it five more times…

…nor laced with Hi & Lois sensibilities…

…but more like a giant black hole that dares you to jump in and see you on the other side…

…like if Santa Claus were Einstein…

…reading the brothers karamazov out loud to you…

…that’s what Frog Applause is all about Charlie Brown…

…{the great pumpkin not included}…

The back side of art and humor.

Behind the scenes.

Mamma Mia, the tenderloin grill is up and running. This is a cut of meat along the middle back of having a funny cow. So how now cow, fillabuster the house of repersenative and do you and a Page lunch.

You can’t get too lame for me

And she jumped so high, jumped so high…

What an a$$

Good to know where you’re coming from, Teresa. Now what was that again? Or from where?

An Escherichium coli bacterium says what?

I once meta momoist while foraging for my sensibilities.

To be perfectly honest, you could put up exactly the same thing every day, and it would grow more absurd all the time, due to the influence on the observer from the ambient environment.

who’s your Dada?

abs truce or abstruse, make up your mind.

The fergy mastidie ordered, “Double barf on the rocks, with wry bread, please. The deft hukinatory kolpom gave it to him. And life went on asalwaysand foreverforeverforever…

But, but, but … But Crack Girl!*

But, but, but … But Crack Girl!*

* With apologies to Marguerite Ahl (R.I.P.), who, in regard to naming FA characters, was the sine qua non.

You are speaking to your Base.

I’ll ask the question on everyone’s mind: is she related to Vlad?

“Don’t you dare turn your back on me, young lady!”

I recline to comment.

I would mention that the word is “abstruse,” but it hardly seems wortht the bother.

For a particular reason, “CaFfEiNe enema” …!

I may be abstruse, but I always thought increasingly absurdist Dada doodles was kind of the point.

Talking from both ends is a talent! LMAO☺️❤️

So…are you saying that you’re behind the times or the butt of jokes?

Now she’s just talkin’ out of her butt.

I think everyone’s got your back!

I’m reminded that Alexandre Dumas once cut a bodacious fart at a large social gathering and explained that he was simply letting in some fresh air.

Works for me.

That’s easy for you to say.

I was just wondering when we would hear from ‘reclining pear with black wig’ and surprise! Though I was not expecting to hear from both ends.

Reminds me of W.S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch in multiple ways.

Lame is part of abstruse dadaist anti humor. To annoy my wife I used to do what I called pen tricks. Things like holding a pen between my thumb and index finger and touching my nose with the pen. She was not amused. I’m the nihilist in the family.

Booty poot trooth.

Or just a nice pair….

Or is it pare…

Oh, wait, it’s a pear!

Aha! The recurrent Naked Lady on the zebra-striped rug! As usual, uttering profundities whilst paying us no heed. And this time, there is also anal utterance (lame though it be). I take the mighty-buttocked lady seriously; or, at least as seriously as one can ever take a pontificating Naked Lady….

Port and also Starboard a winos dream.

I see you’ve added ventriloquism to your list of talents. Impressive?

Brilliant, as usual, 3hourtour ! Ms. Burritt will agree! : )
