Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 30, 2011

Profundity or banality? How loud is a rutabagaed ptarmigan?

Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabaga, Rutabay-y-y-y…

The Blog’s “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” is from the movie “Beetlejuice.”

… and that’s the first step for making steiktar rjúpur with neeps and tatties.

I’ve found that the opposite is true of rusty-throated wren-babblers and atemoya fruit. The fruit being large, and the rtwb being small, well…you know…

I love rutabaga with ptarmegian cheese…

T – Thank you. You are a gentlewoman and a scholar (and a full service cartoonist to boot). – D

You can never have enough neeps.

Your sausage picture put me in mind of the French tongue-twister:

Si six scies scient six saucisses, six cent six scies scient six cent six saucisses. This is pronounced,

/si si si si si sosis si sã si si si si sã si sosis/

It’s no great trick to hit a ptarmigan with anything. The most clueless birds in the world.

The trick is to throw the rutabaga really hard and before it is cooked. That way you get more bang for your buck. I just love a good ptarmigan screech.

As an associated experiment I’m going to throw a rutabaga into a murder of crows and see what happens.

Re: x_tech’s link. The link on the blog is broken. But if you type “grain elevator explosion” in the search box on the Yahoo page that you get, then there will be plenty of links to articles about the explositon.

The rutabaga is wisdom. We humans are the ptarmigan. When wisdom hits us, we need to make a big noise about it.

I know a dirty joke about rutabagas…

Just cook some rutabagas…there won’t be anyone for miles to throw one at!!

I wish I could argue with this, but I can’t. It’s been proven too many times.

What’s with the pterrorising of ptarmigans, pTeresa?

You don’t owe it to the world to cover your wounds. Let the world see the frailty of the human body, let the world see its vulnerability.
