Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 09, 2012

Naked man and his lazy dinner thoughts…

In most cases, if you simply microwave a little longer, you can avoid the stirring step.

Personally, I’m really partial to Weight Watcher’s new “Smart Ones” pancake, french toast, and waffle breakfasts. You do have to place their syrup packets in a cup of hot water to defrost them, though, so they’re not exactly effort-free.

The stirring in the middle part is so you will feel like a real cook.

The stirring in the middle is the most dangerous part of the operation but I live for this kind of excitement.

I understand this one and I can’t think a thing to say. Crap. will that do?

And you don’t need clothes to microwave. Don’t try frying bacon without your clothes on.

Don’t think his middle has been stirred for years.

The juxtaposition of the last panel and the placing of the words gave rise to unpleasant meanings of “stirring in the middle.”

Since I never buy boxed frozen dinners, I shall never have this problem. My microwave is used almost exclusively for heating up leftovers, but yes I too stir.

Dang…I guess I do have the same problem.

I have a fever. And, the only presription is more…ANITA EKBERG!!!

If you don’t stir, the first bite will have the sensation of eating a glacier on the sun.

‘Scram gravy ain’t wavy.’

Very stirring comic today, Teresa.

Re: FB “Giant Claw” + Plane: Vlad insisted on wearing my Captain’s hat and epaulets, and I had to hide the CoPilot Checklist (1. Don’t Touch Anything – 2. Keep Your Mouth Shut). Oh, and Air Marshals weren’t required onboard (Vlad threw ’em off during takeoff roll).

Like Baslim, I loved Smokey Stover as a kid. Didn’t realize (remember?) he was from a half hour south of here. Are you saying It’s Not Unusual for men to be pregnant?

I just take it out and shake it before eating.

How did the emigrants in those early wagon trains crossing the Great Plains manage to plug in their microwaves??

I didn’t realize GREEN bean is a regionalism. I just thought it was a descriptive qualifier since string beans can have green, yellow, red, purple or even variegated pods.

We caught one of his shows here in Canada just before Christmas. It was fun! and fantastic! An evening of wonderful entertainment – and great music too!

@blog typewriter: Model 50 Imperial Standard Dual Unit typewriter, with two physically separate keyboards mounted side-by-side; one universal standard qwerty; the other bearing mathematical symbols. The keyboards on these units were interchangeable. c.1955 – c.1960. DUNUC 3068apparantly the 2nd keyboard is for non-standard symbols.

By the way… as for your typewriter with 2 keyboards, very old typewriters had one keyboard for capital letters and a second for lower case. Also, later “scientific typewriters” sometimes had a second keyboard for the extra characters necessary, and I assume a second keyboard could also be handy for bilingual typing (for languages with different characters from English).

Sure, as soon as I hit “enter” the page I was waiting for finally loads: http://www.smecc.org/typewriters_for_math_&_science.htm

Some older typewriters had two keyboards, one for lower and one for uppercase letters.

Yes. That does piss me off too! I want the microwave to do it ALL!

When cooking in the nude, the microwave is your best bet, lest you set forested nether regions aflame. Then again, if a hot waxing of the aereolas is what you’re into, by all means, go for it!

Re: Bob and Jim on the blog…… Yes T, it is a common error made of the feminine persuasion, but there is not a man alive who hasn’t, at one time or the other, thought of mounting his own trophy, for all to see, gorgeous plumage punctuating its’ glorious magnificence!

Is the cowgirl in the cheeky photo Dale Evans? Roger on Roy!!!

WHAT DID NUMBER 6 SAY TO NUMBER 9?

I think that’s cool! (Groan)

…..trim with hot dogs and baloney……Oh Boy! Nope! I’m not touchin’ that with a…..well, never mind.

“The Giant Claw”? That one is so bad, it’s good. One story is that Sam Katzman got a relatively large budget for it, then saved some money by having the giant bird made in Mexico City for twenty dollars. What should have been a sleek, fiendish monster turned into a goofball marionette.

The saddest thing about the movie is that it had some good actors who did their best. One actor snuck out of the theater when it premiered in his home town. Another just sank deeper into her seat when she saw it. And none of the actors saw the monster during the filming; its scenes were filmed by the second unit and edited into the film. So the actors performed as though they saw the fiendish predator described in the script, which made the audience laugh harder.

At the end, the bird crashes into the sea, with only its clawed foot still above the water. When I showed the movie to my brother he asked “Did the monster just flip us the bird?”

Re handicapped parking spaces: Now that I need one, there is not one to be found. When I’m my regular walking self, they’re all over the place…
