Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 11, 2012

I’ve told you a thousand times, "*NO!* No one else will hire single limbed and no legged people.

Ms. T’s trying to get a leg up on the competition !

Shut up or I’ll nail your other hand to the floor.

Re: abandoned blog

There was a night at GoComicsI never will forgetWhen I ran across the strangest blogI think I ever metI was reading Teresa’s FrogBlogWhen she pointed me that way;I could tell it was abandonedBut I liked it anyway.

-With apologies to Zorba

Ms T has run out of black ink. Try the Fusco Bros.

RE: HORN ON A BENCHYou blow in this end and the music goes round and round.

“They’re coming through the wall!”

Frog Blog: Horn on a BenchI believe it’s a tuba. Couldn’t say in what key. Definitely not an alto horn; compare the height of the tubing that loops above the valves.

Re ‘Black and Missing’ on the Frog Blog, I think that it would be more news worthy to honestly report that Paris Hilton and / or LiLo served ALL of their jail sentence. But still, that would not be as important as the missing girl report.

You should give thanks every day that you are in Frog Applause. At least here people aren’t laughing at you all the time.

FB—Define “unusual family member.” An uncle of mine reputedly drove for Al Capone (family lore, may or may not be true).

Come on now dear, hop along with the rest of us.

COMIC STRIP CHARACTERS FOR RENT.

Re: Horn on a bench. Not a tuba. Looks more like a euphonium

Mommy’s name is Eilean.

She didn’t get either end of the stick—she’d be happy to be in a comic of all one-legged amputees.

On the blog: The closest I ever get to a Great Tit is a Titmouse, a mousier American relative.

The Italian woman suffers from skirt envy.

The dog on the motorcycle looks like it was shot with a flash—I wonder if it was waiting in the dark for its master/mistress to finish whatever and come back to ride off with it.

Sorry, sweetie, but you don’t have a leg to stand on . . ☻

Looks like the Halfassed Family—reckon they used Arrid © as an intimate deodorant so they’d not be half-safe.

Shut up, kid. We’re trying to win this 3 legged race.

Just for the record, the other, abortive, blog isn’t lame. What’s lame is Google never pointing to or recognizing the existence of FB. That’s what’s lame. And, Teresa, if you have to start a blog on Wordpress to emerge in cyberspace again, well, I say so be it!

That is funny…….but sad…….but really funny……………poor wide Pat.

RE: Blog – My uncle (my mother’s brother) stood only 4’ 1" tall. His 4 brothers were all over 6’ tall. He died in an accident when he was 52, but all things considered, he had a fairly normal life. I always admired him for refusing to allow his diminished size to limit the way he lived his life. -He suffered from a pituitary gland problem.

Re blog : Does anyone else have an unusual family member?My brother was an only child.

What do I have?Some sort of distant cousins were the area’s most notorious criminal gang leaders 40 years of so ago.

Who was the unusual member of the Capone family, Al or James?:

Horn on a Bench: a baritone horn, I believe, see wikipedia.

Re: KILT INSPECTION

Could you imagine if a man did that? He’d be flogged! Believe me, I know!

Let me clarify…if I did that to a woman.

Unfortunately, I do not come from a long line of circus freaks, but, however there are a couple of interesting people in my lineage. The Reed family, on my mothers side, was part of the Donner Party, a wagon train that traveled from Missouri to California in 1846, and, after some setbacks along the way were caught in a severe winter trying to traverse the Sierra Nevadas. Most died, some survived, and some of the surviving resorted to cannibalism to survive. Kinda freaky..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_party

Thanks for the memories Teresa. Seeing the men at work post reminds me of when I was studying Veterinarian Medicine and had gotten a job at the local zoo. Being the new recruit, I was often given menial tasks and grunt labor. Little did they know that I loved it. I thrilled in being in such close and intimate proximity to exotic creatures and one of my greatest joys was to feed the hippo’s and then drain their pond and hose it clean of their watermelon sized poop. Never again did poop fascinate me to this extent with the motley assembly of excrement; from the diminutive Tit mouse to the Royal African Elephant, I was enthralled with the variety of shapes, texture and smell- oh the smell! I could go on here but I don’t want to come off as some sort of freak!

For myself, I just ran Google searches on

Frog Blog – Position No. 4Frog Applause – Position No. 1

that would be the 1.5 children in the average family….

Regarding Frog Blog’s Google ranking, it’s important to remember that Google personalizes results base on what it thinks you’re into. So to really test this, it would be wise to first log out of your Google account or use a different browser from the one you usually use and then perform the search and see whether the rankings change.

OK, I just Googled “Frog Blog” from one browser that I use all the time, while signed in to my Google account, and then again from a browser I rarely use, while not signed in. In both cases, our Frog Blog was the number four result.

Well, I had Uncle Dickie… came out of the war with ‘shell shock’ (PTSD hadn’t been invented yet)… became a bag lady with piles of ‘stuff’ carefully sorted by color.
