Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 22, 2016

That’s a BIG load of horse-shiitake!

This reinforces the idea of: “It is better to give than to receive.”

Poor horse all s/he has to eat is shiitake.

Due to so much horse shiitake talk lately, I’ve been having to lift up both of my shoes because they’ve been feeling soggy..

They used to hang you for stealing another man’s horse. A note to horse thief’s, they use micro chips now for tracking purposes.

Very chewy, those shiitake.

Of course, I’ve never had them fresh, as they are pictured here. I’ve only had them processed and stuck on a shelf in a jar.

Pretty sure they were Green Giant.

It’s the thought that counts.

> …Roy and Ginger Rodgers did everything together, except Ginger had to do it backwards and in high heels…

The way I heard it, it was Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers…

I remember when all Shiitake mushrooms were wild picked.

The dried mushrooms were sold dried and they were black, not dirt brown.

And the brown things that you find now are tasteless compared to the wild picked ones.

Mushrooms grow best in horse manure compost…

When Gumby Adventures ended in the ’80s, Pokey needed to supplement his income, so he went into shiitake production.

At least Trigger and Buttermilk didn’t need to wear tap shoes.

VEBBY PUNNY! “Don’t step in the oompah!”

I once had an Assapanick, butt oddly enough he didn’t really like nuts, but anytime I opened a can of Spotted Dick or some Fluffer Nutter, he would get this cockamamie look in his eye. Similarly, he would turn his nose up at a Pu Pu Platter, butt put Bangers and Mash in front of him and he would become a complete nodgecock. I won’t even mention the Kumquats or the Jackfruits.

Sounds yummmmmy!!!

A famous singer suffers two strokes and eventually dies on election results night. She blames Trump for the whole thing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_Jones_(singer)

I got my timeline facts messed up, but not the part about her blaming Trump.

I think Sister Teresa is pulling our collective leg (it’s the one over there in the corner, in the umbrella stand). A frosted gingerbread horse is not dropping shiitake mushrooms, though the cartoon has been artfully constructed to make it seem so.

It’s an attempt to manipulate our associative instincts.

But, the joke is that I don’t normally eat shiitake (tends to be too expensive for my budget). Maybe I’ll reconsider now.

Is that the response you expected?
