Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 24, 2020

Your underwear ran out? Man, that stuff needed washing bad!

Possibly ex-commando.

It isn’t laundry day until it absolutely HAS TO BE laundry day.

Oh wear have you gone John L. Sullivan … Froglandia turns its buggy eyes to you … woo woo woo … BUT it’s too late, ‘cause now he’s 6 feet under …!

Given the fact that it’s -20° F outside right now, I’d say that was a pretty satisfying confluence of events.

…but long John’s are underwear…

…it’s the silvers that ain’t underwear…

…I woke up this morning and put on my cleanest dirty shirt…

…no fly is a deal breaker on men’s underwear for me…

…if it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad…

…do these long John’s have feet?…

…‘cuz they ain’t long John’s if they have feet…

…or a crooked line in the back…

…or if you have to cry uncle…

…oh, wait…

…that’s cruel shoes…

…as long as you don’t or an umbrella drink with your flapjacks you should be alright…

…are they the full body ling John’s with a trapdoor in back?…

Or you could do like some of us do at home and wear nothing at all.

Long John probably won’t mind your borrowing. But, do they fit, ‘cause he’s, you know, long John.

Or, wait. Drat!

See, kids?

This was meant as a lesson: PUNCTUATION MATTERS, and the “missing” apostrophe vitiates my feeble attempt at humor. Feeble? Heck, darn Lame! [Note: the preceding remark has been sanitized for potential Family viewership, though the family that reads Frog Applause together must be kinda weird to begin with….]

I have an Immersion Research® enter-thru-the-neck bunny suit, but I only wear it under my Kokatat dry suit.

(but I don’t think that’s exactly what She is referring to)

Longjohns, the one flap undie? OR the one piece, button down flap in the front? Longjohns, with the feet and two flaps? Longjohns, one piece, run to the bathroom, no flap undies? a watch out…don’t trip on the froglandian bath mat…. so lame

donuts doughnuts are to be consumed, not worn

“Like a turkey through the corn.”

Who’s fault is that? Are you bragging or complaining? Do you need a maid?

I googled First Lady of Bath Mats.

Sadly, it wasn’t You.

i’m wearing them becase it’s cold!

When you are fuzzy like a bunny, you don’t really need to wear underwear.

What was she to me that for her I should mow my hirsute glories?

Are you canescent, hoary, puberulent, sericious, or simply pilous? Hurray, you’re on your way!

Are your ears floccose, comose, and hilariously pappose? Shout with glee, flaunt unapologetically!

Is your bum fairly lanate, or perhaps more tomentous? Undies abolition? Fear not inhibition! No #ucks given!

Re: About Frog Applause

Less is more. Forget pretentious wordiness. I think this random comment sums it up perfectly-

“Can anybody describe the comic strip Frog Applause to me? I like it, but I don’t know why.”

…About Frog Applause…

… Zippers work, though we don’t know how…

…Mz. Burritt takes the next logical step: Can Google be of any use besides selling our personal data?…

… Does Van Gogh have an ear for music?…

…What if poetry does not care what you say, but how you say it? …

…Can postcards save the day?…

…This Frog Applause is a quarry…

…The water is deep, but swim at your own risk…

How long does it take to do laundry?
