Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 26, 2011

Damn straight. I don’t need to be anything, I don’t need to do anything. Now gimme half of what you got…

Since, my good sir, you are already ensconced in a rose-colored padded room, I feel no necessity to respond to your Weltanschauung.

Talk Like a Pirate Day is fast approaching. Arr…

What’s this “paid” thing?

there are some clients who will try drag you on & on.

That line does not work on your children under 25, er, under 18.

As a retired mailman, I saw this countless times. Worse yet, they would place the change on the envelope so it would fall on the ground when you pulled it from the box. I would remove the taped on change and stamp and mail the letter. Change on the ground would remain there, letter would remain in box, and I would pray that their payment was late.

“Interior Designer” was probably the wrong choice of profession.

What a country!

It looks like Big Daddy has cut off this lad’s pocket money.

After looking at today’s blog, I’m quite disturbed.

Work is a dirty four letter word, that makes my stomach feel like it is tied in knots when It is uttered in my presence.

In case anyone’s wondering (like me), silver dimes on eBay are going for about $3.50/piece in quantity (maybe less, maybe more), so even if you use the smallest silver content, you’re still talking $7/gallon.

Little man in the cartoon, if you don’t like work, there’s always armed robbery.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes. (W.C. Fields)

A number of years ago (30-35?), I saw Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie in concert together at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. They closed the show with Irene, Goodnight, the whole audience singing along on the chorus. Breathtakingly beautiful.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2009, “The Horn of Plenty”. Long before becoming one of if not the biggest name in the modern fashion industry, Lee McQueen went to a nightclub in London one night, where he witnessed a performance by Leigh Bowery, white make-up, huge red lips, cans wrapped around head.

Why is the “B” in “Butt” capitalized? Does your butt resemble Helen Hunt’s butt, too?

@Dogsniff: I’ll have to make my comments more cryptic then. Don’t wan’t nobody understanding nothing, nohow.

I couldn’t agree more, Teresa

Thanks for calling attention to the National Limb Loss Info Center and the Amputee Coalition! There are truly heartbreaking and maddening stories about insurance limits on prosthetic limbs…in some cases, even if a prosthesis is “covered,” there may be a limit of (I kid you not) a single prosthetic limb for the life of the patient. So, if you’re the parent of a child with limb loss, the question becomes “do you give your child a limb NOW, or do you wait until they’re fully grown?” A terrible dilemma!By the way, Teresa, I do love Frog Applause and the blog, even if I don’t usually comment!

T and FA need to be added to Wikipedia.

What the hqiz? A hater has once again deleted Frog Applause and Shoecabbage from Wikipedia, even though they still appear as part oft the main article. Did anyone happen to archive the articles so they could be restored? Someone out there has some serious problems.

I object to that headline on the blog about sex with cavemen strengthening human immunity for two reasons: First, it denies that we were cavemen too. Second, it implies that Neanderthals were something other than human.

NEANDERTHALS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

Water your potted plant at least.
