Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 16, 2012

I remember that little story.

accidentally? flailing with gay abandon were you?

Marion Harris’s “Never You Let No One Man Worry Your Mind” from 1920 is here:

archive.org has more of her recordings. A great voice doing some great early jazz songs.

Nice penmanship. Teresa sounds like a little goodie-two shoes suck-up. But she salvaged her reputation with that little “accident.”

BOOM, BOOM, out goes the light.

re: fashion, that’s Prada Spring 2010 right there. There were also chandelier shoes.http://i.imgur.com/rh3O6.jpg

Teresa stop going through your school files and procrastinating. Finish your taxes.

He didn’t pay his ‘insurance money’, so lets just say he had a little ‘accident’.

Is this a real assessment? If I’m connecting the dots correctly, there could be a terrible sadness buried in that eagerness to please.

Where is the part about you being “a bit lame”? Did you photoshop that out?

no one want to see what my teachers had to say…

Did you wear a little pink ribbon in your hair too? After all those years of sugar – coated sweetness I hope that at least in your teen years you were a goth.

@Old Fox. Thanks for the update.

It’s the principle….

Shame on you Teresa, there is already to much violins on the internet.

The Zanti Misfits can be viewed here – it was rather creepy for those days.

… and you had such beautiful penmanship!

Why were you anxious, child? Surely a professional educator such as your teacher would have used “eager” to describe you, if that is what she meant. Did your anxiety lead you to assault your principal? And was this the beginning of your spiral into the world of comic stripping? Ah! “comic stripping.” That conjures up some interesting images…

Perhaps the willingness to perform these “extras” was what allowed for so many friends.
