Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 24, 2024

Would it help if we gave you a standing ululation?

Try ulu-early.

Could it be an ulcerated uvula?

It certainly does hurt. Next time warn us so we can put in our earplugs.

Better ululate than never. However, when I taught myself Tuvan throat singing I lost my voice for a week, so caution is advised.

Just don’t yodel then.

better tell your mom

This is exactly the kind of low-brow, dirty-minded humor that caused the Chaldeans to fall out of God’s favor.

LeVar Burton can do it nicely. I, on the other hand, can only yodel a bit.

…sometimes I just want to shout: …

… HEY HEY HEY HEY! …

… no pain…

…no gain…

…it’s a bird…

…it’s a plane…

…it’s the Green Horny…

…today’s safe word is…

…Ouch! Dam that hurts…

…gargle with Listerine twice a day…

…but don’t put the bananas in the fridge…

…Tarzan something something something…

…my wife recorded me cussing after I accidentally hit my thumb with a hammer…

…she put it to thrash music…

…now we have the #1 hit in Froglandia…

…the Frog Applause Hop…

I must have a deformed tongue, because no matter how much I tried, I was never able to ululate the letter “r” when learning a foreign language.

Then don’t do that.

Second opinion?

That mask makes your eyebrows look fat.

“Paging Archie Campbell, paging Archie Campbell.”

Uluating in the bat cave can get you in trouble.

Maybe see to having your uvula massaged?

I have a one-word cure for your ululation-related sore throat … Tonsillectomy !!

You may uluate with a ukelele. You MAY not with BAGPIPES!!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ululating …!

( low hanging fruit too, to, two, tutu )

That masked, sensitive-throated man looks suspiciously like George Corley Wallace, whose segregationist (read ‘racist’) views won him four terms as Alabama’s governor between 1963 and 1987. In my opinion, one of Jimmy Carter’s greatest achievements was to render the man irrelevant in the national political arena.

He’ll never do his Slim Whitman tribute album.

Ha! That’s okay it’s supposed to.

Who is that masked man? Hi- Ho! Frida Away!

Of course it does. IT’S SUPPOSED TO. If it doesn’t, you’re doing it wrong.
