Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 02, 2011

Gherkins, firkins, Perkins, jerkins………

Ewww! Moths in your merkin?! Double-ewww! Rhyme is vastly overrated, anyway.

Who needs rhyme when ya got reason?Wait a sec, I can rhyme reasonThe next line has something to do with luckI think I’d better start over.

How about a Haiku:

How disquieting is Beauty, but not so muchas senseless moth deaths.

I’m more disturbed by the merkins…

concerning the blogger lady who seems to be enjoying herself ;she is the prodee and the man behind her is the proder ..both are enjoying every inch of it ..

Yay, Frank Zappa, yay!! All-time great guitarist and composer, guest of foreign heads of state, enemy of censorship and Tipper Gore. Not to mention dogsniff’s avatar muse.

As for that lovely lady in front of the guitarist, I was wondering if she were Mrs. Miller, owner of several “hits” from the ‘60s. Having done some research, I’ve concluded the woman on the Blog is too old. Now, if we could hear her sing, that would seal the deal either way.

Woo Hoo-I’m Lucky # 13 Wean me from my jelly bean (and caffeine)!

Looks like she’s jerkin’ her merkin. That’s why I’m smirkin’.

In the blog that woman looks like Minnie Pearl minus the hat.

Another word for merkin is muckett.

Wow! That phone is pretty small for 1984: http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2011/08/strangers-short-film-1984.html Google says 2004. Good short film though.

I thought of a young Minnie Pearl, but I’m not sure. I never saw her without the trademark hat, w/ price tag attached, even in very old clips.

good evening, my fellow ’mericans……(insert boring political speech)……and god bless ’merica.

Too derivative of Kubrick.

Dear oneswellfoop and all others suggesting or fearing gocomics drop your least favorite or favorite strip:

This is not a newspaper. There is unlimited space for comics for all tastes even yours. The day when readers are forced to read only the handful of strips the local newspaper editor allowed is over.

No comic need ever leave. Even after the strip’s end, it will continue on forever here in reruns.

Welcome to a world where “Love Is..” and “Frog Applause” can co-exist. Now if gocomics’ Powers That Be will let “Frog Applause” feature the same dress code as “Love Is…”

I am overwhelmed by a sense of enui over the dead moths and the patchy merkins….

flawless Givenchy couture. Sometimes I wonder how that kind of design translates to people who don’t follow fashion as closely as some others do. Especially when it’s posted on Frog Applause!

Re: Special Knowledge/Ability

I took this Harvard university face recognition test (can’t find the link, sorry) and I got 99% as opposed to an average of 70% from most people. I can recognize some 460+ models working in the fashion industry and spell their names (which can go from Lily Cole to Alla Kostromichova).

My native language is Spanish and I taught English to myself when I was 12. I’ve never taken an English course or went to any bilingual schools in my life.

/ends bragging

Just add ‘in Australia’ after merkins.

Thanks so much, Teresa! <3
