Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 22, 2021

Be careful at the nursery. It’s marked on the little plastic stakes or in the fine orint on the seed envelopes.

Who’s on first …? (that’s right) …!

Something about nice watering cans, something something, silhouetto, not half the man I used to be, dominoes, dice #hashtag shirtless gardening sunburns.

“Aristolochia grandiflora, the pelican flower, is a deciduous vine with one of the world’s largest flowers that emits an odor that smells like rotting feet, attracting flies.”

Not just feet. Rotting feet.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristolochia_grandiflora

That’s not true. I’m hella nice, compared to other pelican flowers, and I am WINNING.

Nip ‘em in the bud. Start there first.

For no particular reason … today, 6/22/‘21, is “National Take Your Cat To Work Day” … (dogs on 6/25) …!

School lunches. Never et ‘em. I was a chronic brown bagger. The allure of the hot lunch was real back then, but now it looks pretty gross. I’m sure there are some great lunch ladies out there, so love to ‘em, but that looks like one step up from prison food to me. My dogs eat better than that.

That’s why I’m a bad pelican flower.

Does this have something to do with Naked Gardening Day?

The oder is impossible to cover. Smells like my brother trying to cover the smell. Pelican flowers and rose air freshener.

My favorite parts of the Elephant Gang article…

Large women in strange gang

Forty elephants are terrorizing the West end of London

Housebreaking- sounds like a group of breakdancing housewives

Big handsome women

Razors in their corsages

Wear smart togs

She has organized her own service to gather information about the police

All the elephants are fashionably dressed

False pretenses

Favored hunting grounds

May have committed indiscretions

Water filtered in the watering can boils faster. Fewer impurities.

How do they know that there are forty big handsome women terrorizing the West End? Sounds like some Cockney copper’s fantasy.

This aphorism expresses succinctly why I try not to be a Nice Pelican Flower. It’s almost exactly the same as for Nice Guys….

…I used to have a girlfriend with a stinky flower…

…it was hard to get past the smell…

…but once you did…

…it was worth it…

He who laughs last, laughs best.

The Last Supper?

Hold the door for the lady. And last but not least the man. Don’t let the door hit you on the way in or out. Could also be the crack of dawn or twilight zone.

How do you make an illegal comment?

Did you get that scar playing tic tac toe?

Even bad sects can be good.

Da Blog, re: Comment Policy … Where’s John Glynn when you need him …?

that’s an odd reference for them ;+)

Day 2. Not finished yet!
