Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 06, 2012

And none too soon! The neighbors are threatening to call the police.

Re blog: The potty mouth in question is supposedly 11 years old. He promised to watch his language on ‘Pearls…’ several days ago. Now if Dogsniff and Gweedo can get banned for their ‘transgressions’, I have a hard time with allowing an 11 year old to talk like a long shoreman.

Nothing like the feel of a fresh loincloth to make a mystic’s morning !

Re: WATERDam me, my galleon, is trying to escape from Ballard Street Bay again !

Now, isn’t that nice? All fresh and sun-dried! Now you can take off her thong you “borrrowed,” guy!

Is that the frilly loincloth, or the lacy one?.Most eleven year old kids around here have been swearing since they were five. Probably learned it from their parents.

Cool picture of Theda Bara! Her “Cleopatra” (1917) is unfortunately a lost film, and only twenty seconds or so of footage survive from it:

YouTube has one of her two surviving films: “A Fool There Was,” from 1915:

This was her screen debut, in which she created her vamp character (a vamp was not a playful flirt, but a woman who exploited, drained and abandoned her male lovers). Her best-known line came from this film: “Kiss me, my fool!” (Usually repeated as “Kiss me, you fool!”)

Her real name was Theodosia Goodman, and her public image as Theda Bara was crafted and publicized for her by William Fox, of Fox Studios. The entertainment business has been manufacturing stars for almost a century now.

Much better than,“Your loincloth is wet.”

May your chosen deity condemn you for condemning me.

Great Bloomers!

Live and loin, I always say.

Since it’s really a tube sock couldn’t it more accurately be called a cache-sexe?

I used to run a mud a few years ago. The worst ones for language were always the middle school aged kids.

loin cloth, or breechclout?and yes, my spelling is correct on that.

blog…nothing wrong with a kinky kitchen.

“RERUN FUN”???? Thanks. Didn’t see it the first time around.

I’m with you, Bub!!!!

Nice to know someone cares…and smiles, too.

If it’s dry, won’t it be a little stiff?

Ah, I love my loincloth flapping in the breezeThough to remain modest, it has to reach my kneesSuch exhilaration as it swings to and froMust be careful it doesn’t trip me, as along my way I do goWhen swinging in the trees, i have to tie it in a knotElse it gets hung up in the branches and that is not so hotThose around me just can’t believe their eyesThey’ve never seen one of such prodigious sizeSo drop your drawers, it’s fun to be so freeJust be careful your not stung by a bee.

Very astute. From your mouth to all the ears that need to hear it.

Thank you, very well stated.

My comment had nothing to do with religion. It had to do with a promise made to stop potty mouthing in his comments. The rest of us use words that are fit for general consumption.. He may learn to increase his vocabulary, in a good way.

Thanks; I should have included that derivation, but it slipped my mind.

Re: Blog. “Now You Are Engaged.” She looks like his MOTHER! Women frequently looked older than men of the same age during that period (1940’s-50’s?) Is it the hair? The make up? Those dowdy clothes? All of the above? Something else?

GARSH DARN SHE IS PREGNANT, AT LEAST SHE IS NOW.

That’s not my loincloth, it’s my sausage sock!
