Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 13, 2017

Pull the plug on him, sister.

His proposal didn’t have a leg to stand on.

He was caught flat-footed by her rejection, although she did get a kick out of his proposal.

Looks like a bad match to me…

Hey, she could do worse.

With arms akimbo,

she rejects Jimbo.

Where are they? It looks like some snowy cliffs. She doesn’t look like she’s wearing sensible shoes or clothing for this altitude. And Mr. Two-Time Rejectee, I’m not even sure how he got there intact. Surprising that he still has his noodle.

He looks like he’s perpetually happy. I’d be happy, too, if I had French fries growing out of my head and where my hands should be.

He could dance like he had no spine. His advertising job was a steady gig.

But he still felt hollow inside, like he was only going through the motions,

driven by something outside of himself. He knew she would probably sense that.

But he had to try.

Maybe this was what was missing. Maybe this would make it all feel real.

This is one of those.

What’s so funny?

Is she pregnant?

The dance pas ran out of gas?

Opposites do attract.

He’s going to suffer an attack of the 50-foot woman.

Hes full of hot air.

In our little corner of the college football universe we call that guy, “Crazy Arms Dude.” #tailgatebling

This year I’ll propose a name change to, simply, “Akimbo.” #thanksarianne #thankspained #namethief #noshame

Who’s he foolin’, his tics are far too severe and twitchy to settle down..

I do think she should hold out for someone more anatomically correct.

She is protesting the racist guy with the crazy moves who looks like a red tie with a shock of blond hair.

Who the heck wants to marry a noodle man? —Other than a noodle girl, I mean.

Especially when he’s air-dancing! The nerve of some people! That’s really “not using your noodle,” despite appearances to the contrary….
