Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 18, 2011

Hobble, Grandpa, hobble as fast as you can!

Re: 1784-Present. Now they have Casinos and will retake it all back. That’s why Grandpa is running off to warn you.

He just discovered that his day care center got a waiver.

Ha Ha Flying Monkey, they always return. I’ll get him and his shiny spectacles too. Ha ha ha

my guess is that 80% of the folks here have never heard of ‘the Bob Cummings show or Shultzy……had not thought of her for years…..I wonder if she would be as funny now as then……..but she might be ; I STILL laugh out loud at old reruns of the Jack Benny show and Phil Silvers’ “You’ll never get rich”

Zayde is not escaping. He’s just leaving early to get a good seat for The Rapture.

@Rotifer: Glad you recognized that Grandpa is a Hasid!

I guess the rapture has already happened several times, and I keep getting left behind. So this is what Hell is like…

RE: Tattoos. Pretty soon we’re going to have a lot more women in the GC Retirement Home who look like that.

Is that what he is running away from?

Thank you for allowing me to escape… Oh, you know who you are.

While you’re away from the Center, be sure to have a hearty plate of peeps and peppers…..

You bet your sweet bippy, baslim.

Who would want to escape? I think Teresa is the ombuds-woman.

Yes, those are St. Agatha’s breasts on the platter.

Not many Zoroastrians left these days… when I was young and foolish and living far away I had a girlfriend whose father was a Parsi but, being a bad influence, I was never invited to meet him. I understand they have a temple down in the south bay but I’ve just been too lazy (or incurious) to go looking for it.

From the Blog: I believe that is Rotifer himself looking out the window. It sure looks like him, anyway. It’s just a handsome family, all the way ’round.

@Nighthawks, Just last week I was thinking of her, don’t know why but I was.

QQ what is making grandmother Thalweg’s dress so puffy?Whatever it is it seems to be blowing her hair out of place.

And when Freddy Mercury died, there was one less Parsi.Mamie Van Doren starred in Girls Town, of which there is a fine fine MST3K.

The Rapture already happened. Revelations was a journal.We were Left Behind.

Why, those are breasts, dear.Brings new resonance to the phrase “tits on a platter”.

Curse you for reminding me: still haven’t been to Hearst Castle.About foreign movie titles: in France and Germany the TV show “The Avengers” was called “slice of melon and lemon boots”.

from “What’s Opera, Doc?”Elmer Fudd: Weturn, my wove / A wonging burns deep inside me. Bugs: Return, my love / I want you always beside me. Elmer Fudd: Wove wike ours must be… Bugs: Made for you and for me. Bugs, Elmer Fudd: Return / Won’t you return my love / For my love is yours.

Teresa I found an old newspaper article in the Thalweg family Bible about the very same picture you posted on Frog Blog yesterday. WHAT a coincidence! Best, Rotifer  (Thalweg Family Reunion Report) @Ray C and @grapfhics – I wasn’t in the picture, but I do remember Ganny Boom Boom (I always think of her whenever I smell sulphur)

Well, R A* T, that explains a lot.
