Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 29, 2017

Nice weather..

How’s the world treating you?

That sounds dirty.

Breathe a little easier.

Swell comic, ehh?

When E. F. Hutton Speaks, People Listen.

How about that gravity?

In the I Ching, it is hexagram 58, TWEE, the marsh above the marsh.

You too…

All the little people like small talk.

My former Ph.D. girlfriend (she dumped me for a Swiss investment banker (justifiably – I am not the world’s greatest relationship partner (but enough (too much?) about me))) wrote her NYU doctoral dissertation on The Conflicting Discourses of the Drawing-Room. I called it gossip. She called it …. (wait for it) …. small talk.

Mutual babling.

A rarely seen performance, the banjo player exclaimed at the end of a song, “want to hear it backwards?” He then turned his back to the audience and played away.

Blue Öyster Cult’s Flaming Telepaths

VS.

Be Bop Deluxe’s Blazing Apostles;

Discuss.

…Tv could be considered as small talk…

…well, not the giant ones…

…then…small talk could be considered background noise…

…white noise…

…therefore it could be conjectured that small talk is conditioned in us in the womb…being drawn to white noise -small talk makes us social critters…

…hmmm…if science were only real…

My hangnail was so bad it went up my entire arm and into my mouth.

If you want to talk about the business

Buddy you’re just wasting time

Lynyrd Skynrd…Don’t Ask Me No Questions

I am not one for small talk. I don’t mind a few pleasantries and such, but the wonton babbling some can’t seem to do without I avoid like the plague.

So if one engages in small talk about the letter M, then it’s ….

I’ve been rare/quiet for a while because Windows melted down on me – completely hung up so I finally gave up and pulled the plug. When I tried to start back up, windows wouldn’t load (it would get to screen where you’d log in but couldn’t be made to produce the box to type the password). So I got the new computer I’d been thinking about anyway and the old hard drive is in a box and plugged into the new machine, but getting the stuff on it to work isn’t going fast at all.

i like small talk…..

From Wackypedia, the freak encyclopedia:

In zoology, small talk [a tentacle] is a flexible, mobile, elongated organ present in some species of animals, most of them invertebrates. … Most forms of small talk [tentacles] are used for grasping and feeding. Many are sensory organs, variously receptive to touch, vision, or to the smell or taste of particular foods or threats. Examples of such small talk [tentacles] are the “eye stalks” of various kinds of snails. Some kinds of small talk [tentacles] have both sensory and manipulatory functions.

Dylann Storm Roof, I pray over your pry.

A: Knock-knock…

B: Who is there?

A: Cthul.

B: Cthul, who?

A: You dare invoke The Great Old One?

@SISYPHOS ABOUT 20 HOURS AGO“Swell comic, ehh?”

We like it.

I don’t know if Teresa’s recompense is tied to the number of Comments her strip receives, but as “replies” aren’t counted in the total, the anarchist in me says to by-pass GoComic’s little shell game and answer all other posters in this fashion rather than clicking “reply”.

I know it’s extra work, but I’m willing to do it if it helps our Lady of the Lame.

Who’s with me?

Si Senior…

Dylann’s upheaval toward races.

@XSILENT

Dylann vomited in the direction of a subspecies or a preakness?

The new world…go figures… Hub dub…

Either for good or bad, another montage exists.
