Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 30, 2024

Nuthin’ to nuthin’ in favor of nobody.

Those are quite some dance moves. Break dancing if he breaks something.

Lucius Lipschitz had the unfortunate habit of mispronouncing words and putting accents on the wrong syl-labels. Thus, he said ‘pec-you-liar’ and compounded the offense by uttering ‘crass c-—ty’ in ‘Miss Sour-Eye’. He also often introduced himself to strangers as ‘Luscious’.

“ain’t that peculiar” ;+)

He’s probably releasing gas.

The bowler hat stays on!

It’s funny because it’s true.

Not now, Kato!

I know the Show Me State thinks It’s All That*, but just as it runs thru Peculiar, MO, Interstate 49 runs thru the county in Arkansas where I born and raised but you don’t see us Natural Staters giving our towns cartoon-worthy names.

* What with its St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs and famous birthplaces (Mark Twain, Harry Truman, Rush Limbaugh, Bass Pro Shops)

They’re engaged in foreplay, and they’re en route to Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

ᴛᴅʟ Alert! Stephen Pastis’ Rat just suggested “lame” is a banned word! What are we going to do?

Sorry for triple posting, but if the ᴛᴇʀᴇsᴀ ᴅᴇғᴇɴsᴇ ʟᴇᴀɢᴜᴇ can’t be rallied to defend “lame” what are the comics coming to?

…oops!…

…he forgot to put it into a form of a question…

…now…

…everyone is kung-fu fighting…

…well…

…it is the Show Me state…

…geez…

…ya can’t say peculiar…

…without liar…

…a very un-misery word…

…Frog Applause…

…both sides of K.C. fight for it…

Hmmm. Very (wait for it) strange. But interesting.

What’s peculiar is, his mama is from Cass County …!

( dunno about his papa )

“I wasn’t asking for cities in Missouri, I wanted kitties in a hurry!”

The Marquess of Queensbury would be appalled. Hoyle, however, hardly hacks a hoot.

my mom said september 1 ;+)

That’s his MO. It may be a serial waiter.

When you dance

Do you feel peculiar, then fake a stance?

In a trance

While Missourians mingle with circumstance?

Flippin, Arkansas is a great source of the funny. “I’m going to Flippin Walmart.” “It’s time to go to Flippin church.”

Slickpoo, Idaho

Humptulip, Washington

Knockemstiff, Ohio

Intercourse, Pennsylvania

Nimrod, Minnesota

Screamer, Alabama

And my Favorite…

DingDong, Texas

Nothin’ more to see here. I’m off …!

( and don’t say anything … K? )

Cardboard Cutout for mobster children.

Status high ho, high ho, Louis, and Dolly, in Saints Hood.

Mr. Postman, wait and see, if there’s a letter in your bag for me . . .

Speaking of peculiar . . . I got a call saying that I had won two point six million dollars as a second place winner in the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. And I hadn’t even submitted an entry! What peculiar good fortune!

…I regret that I only have one lie to give for my country…

…give me lies, libtards & the power suit of happenstance…

…ask not what your bank can do for you…

…but ask what you can do for your bank…

…don’t sell until you see the green of their cash…

…in cash we trust…

where the boys of the chorus we hope you like our show

Let’s please make overdressed judo a thing!

Peculiar is a city in Cass County, Missouri and is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area within the United States. The population was 4,608 at the 2010 census. The town motto is “Where the ‘odds’ are with you.”

“May the odds be ever in your favor” is a quote from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The phrase means that someone is likely to succeed in what they are doing.
