Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 18, 2009

Hmm. I need to do some counting.

What do you call a guy with no arms or legs floating on the ocean?

Bob.

I know a Super Bob, Solver of All Complaints, at an institution with which I’m familiar….

Bob’s your uncle!

I have a terrific Bob. Everyone should have a Bob like mine. Then again, I also have an ex-Bob. (That is, I assume he’s still a Bob, but he’s not mine anymore.) No one should be cursed with a Bob like that one. Apparently I have mixed Bob emotions.

I have two uncle Bobs, so Bob really is my uncle.

Would that be J. R. “Bob” Dobbs?

My brother Bob spent my collection of Buffalo nickels and silver dimes, quarters, and half-dollars when I was away in the Army. That was over 40 years ago and I will never forgive him. Never liked him anyway.

knowing MzD, thought she said “boob”… read that way, it’s funny !

bob barker, buffalo bob, bob sanders, bob cummings, bob evans , bob dylan……uh……..

I know a few Bob Osos.

Bob was my husband and he drove me nuts at times. Till he died that is. :( :( Other than that, I know a few others, I dated a few and there’s a song called ‘All my boyfriends are named Bob.” It makes it easy if you talk in your sleep!

I have a current Bob. My husband by coincidence, Maxine. Twenty-two years of wedded bliss-and-everything-else as of next month. Still heavy on the happier side, which is why we keep going through the mucky bits.

I knew a Bob who had a brother named Bob, who is an only child.

(They were both adopted, and the 1st Bob had a biological sibling, unlike the 2nd Bob.)

Yes but the writer is insinuating that we release our pent up bob stories - presumably at Bob’s we aren’t so fond of. I happen to know of a Bob who dates a transvestite shaman witch-doctor android. Also, this android believes him to be explosive, hence the attraction. That same Bob is also cheap… and buys only drinks when taking it out to dinner.

It is supremely unfortunate that she didn’t use “Daves” instead of Bob’s as I could then have simply posted this in response: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmQRmHgExV0

Hey. Bob’s my middle name (and Bob’s your uncle).

Lucy is all grown up I see.
