Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 25, 2020

“Hmmm . . . tubby or not tubby, that is the dieter’s question.”

In my own words, but not exclusive- SAVE THE FROG!!!

Plagiarism is the American Way. Save FA.

The DUNderheads and ding-dongs of GoCo meant to make short work of the residents of Froglandia, so the uprising they met on the landing grounds threw a tizzy into their machinations.

I am thinking for myself: save FA!

… you want us to write down what we thought in our own words,ma-am?…

… why can’t I scribble down things we’ve mentioned from our other comments?…

…I won’t change any words to make it look like I’m thinking for myself…

…Prince Thun : Your Majesty, we, the people of Ardentia, we have suffered since you blasted our kingdom. I can offer you nothing this year, except my loyalty…

…Klytus : Prince Thun, we prize nothing more highly. And tell us, how great is this loyalty to your emperor?…

…

…Prince Thun : Without measure…

…The Emperor Ming : We are delighted to hear it; fall on your sword…

…

…The Emperor Ming : Show us this loyalty, throw yourself onto your sword…

…Prince Thun : [Prince Thun unsheathes his sword] May this deed of Prince Thun be an example to all the kingdoms of Mongo; Death to Ming!…

…oh how I hate it when they use unnecessary exclamation marks!!!!!…

Testing for regurgitation of memorized facts tests for the ability to memorize facts. Teaching the ability to think for oneself must be tempered with teaching the ability to recognize the difference between facts and wild opinion – i.e. a solid understanding of the scientific method.

This obnoxious little punk, thinking he can fool me into thinking he’s thinking for himself.

TextBook authors rarely achieve deathless prose. You’ll do fine with your own words.

I am expressing the opinions assigned to me in class.

Young T.S. Eliot aces his first quiz in Plagiarism 101 at Harvard.

I hate when this happens! I also hate the fact that FA is unfairly getting screwed! Can you believe this? This cartoon, original, funny, weird, thought provoking, artistic, brilliant ideas is being left out in the “new streamlining” event of GC! I have to say, the many followers are SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF! AND here, are so many OTHERS on this site who only post once a week, a month, and here, FA is a daily constant, with new and fresh toons, ideas and refreshing humor! I would THINK that’s what “GC” is looking for….a brilliant master mind of humor and wit! EVERY DAY ! I’m sure if FA is cut, many paying patrons will cease to exist…and thus cutting into the GC budget….now does that sound like a reasonable thought? What business TODAY, WANTS TO LOSE MONEY? ?

Is FA being dropped or are commenters assuming that? Where is it written?

Long live Copy, Paste, and Alternate …!

I am thinking extra credit.

Lay out the world map and copy the design of borders in the middle east. Here you go Teach.. What buttons do I push now?

In honor of the Notorious RBG, please save Frog Applause!

Do what you want to do

And go where you’re going to

Think for yourself

‘Cause I won’t be there with you

I’ll change a couple of words in this so as to avoid allegations of plagiarism…save Amphibian Ovation!

Save Frog Applause! But either way, the lame shall inherit the earth.

Here in Froglandia, we eschew the herd mentality, and the yokes on you. We taste more like chicken anyway.

And perhaps herein lies the rub with the Frog Applause conundrum. Those outside the herd mentality are rarely appreciated in their time. But, we shall not surrender!

Cut up some of the fallen limbs in the yard and brought them in to lay a fire in the fireplace. The “kindling” turns out to burn quite hot, but also somewhat slowly. The warmth supplied by an armful of normal wood can be produced by a handful of these sticks, and they produce nearly no ash. I have never seen anything like it. There is enough, I think, stacked outside, to last several seasons here. There was frost this morning. I could have used a fire last night, but hadn’t known that I didn’t need to bring in wood. Whatever it is, this material is dense, yet lightweight. I’m guessing there is some sort of natural polymerization creating long carbon chains that break down slowly, but have a high energy density. It looks like the oxidization is entirely superficial, and the sticks sort of “melt” as they burn. As I have time now, I will conduct a search of the house and outbuildings for a clue as to where I am. Wherever it is, I’m pretty sure it isn’t “Kansas”.

So, are they going to drop half of the comics, but leave a certain lame one that a portly man does?

Learned that from paraphrasing encyclopedia articles in grade school. Very pre-internet.

When did this “thinking for yourself” fetish become the New Normal? What we need is more Herd Mentality! Uniformity! Compliance! Yes, even Group-Think!

The Borg knew how to do it….

The only interesting opinions I’ve got are smutty! Can’t I just whisper those in your ear instead of writing them down?

…plagiarism grunts reporting for duty, sir..

This is the opposite of religious scholars that spent years memorizing the original text, but don’t know the translation.

Just as former mexican president Enrique Peña. Shame.
