Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 26, 2017

I assume that double strap is to keep the knees together while they’re jerking.

The electrical gauge may represent what makes them jerk.

Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

STANAG 4586 specifies the functional architecture of a UAV Control System (UCS).This architecture establishes the following functional elements of the system and their companion interfaces:

- Core UCS (CUCS)

- Data Link Interface (DLI)

- Control Command Interface (CCI)

- Vehicle Specific Module (VSM)

- Command and Control Interface Specific Module (CCISM)

- Human Computer Interface (HCI)

“Hey, " Herbie said, “Tony, can you fly?”

But Tony couldn’t fly, Tony died

Alice looked up at the Rocking-horse-fly with great interest, and made up her mind that it must have been just repainted, it looked so bright and sticky; and then she went on.

Sudden reactions had happen occasionally numerous times as the head examination progressed..

There being no time to think, I didn’t.

Literality is its own virtuality.

Can that gauge measure rational liberalism too?

I don’t get today’s cartoon, you would have to explain it to me.

Grace’s Auntie Literalism believes that not taking everything at face value is a saving grace.

Um… I think…?

Je suis…

Isms that jerk and buck… don’t like that.

we love you Teresa

“4586”

Dang, where’d I put my Frog Applause Secret Decoder Ring?

Are they 5 and 6, or upside down 2 and 9?

Then, the period would be called what?

A bullet? To the brain?

Off to Google with me…

A Google search of 4/2/89 brings up a Grateful Dead concert in Pittsburg. After the second concert the next day, about 500 dead heads were arrested.

Relevant?

I feel so American! I literally don’t get “it”; “it” being the heady numerals 4586. But, luckily, those restraints will keep my knees from jerking, so I won’t make too much of a spectacle for The Great Unwashed.

Oh, for the favored flavor of foreign metaphor, simile, allusion, intertextuality, sensus complexior, and all things Joycean….

On, to the haughty heights of the Higher Lameness, as practiced by elite literateurs!

Hi God. It’s me again. Why does Frog Applause happen to good people? Is it because like Mom says, that they are really dirty, dirty bas…

Oops… Mom’s calling. Later, God.
