Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 20, 2025

…maybe if they rub Preparation H on it it will go away…

…they say to live your life like it’s your last day on earth…

…then my wife complains when I sit back in my lazy boy…

…and watch Gilligan Island reruns…

…why that’s seven years away…

…we won’t even have an A.I. leader by then…

…or the last Game of Thrones book out…

…it’s crazy talk…

…and fruitless…

…but, yeah…

…I’m going to be filming it with my phone, baby…

…and flipping it the bird!…

…and only Froglandia will be saved…

…because they’d shipped us all off to the prison planet…

… New Australia…

…cuz, like Babe’s brethren said…

…We’re going to a better place…

Due in December 2032?

What sort of space atrocity has that long a gestation period?

I, for one, welcome our new carbonaceous overlord.

Not another asteroid! We humans can achieve mass extinctions all on own, thanks.

If an asteroid hits in 2032 and there is no one here to see it, does it make a noise?

good he’s using his head for than just a hat rack

Phones may be extinct by 2032, but who knows, perhaps not.

Teresa! Teresa! Teresa!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

Here’s a clue from the crossword in yesterday’s newspaper:

“Weakest (excuse)”

6 letters, starts with “L”

What could it be? What COULD it be?

They’ll want to post the pics on X-tinct!

In “Nope” people are more interested in getting selfies with a destructive alien than in saving themselves.

I’m going to check the mass transit schedule. It seems like that asteroid is going to be early at this stop.

In 2032 there is a reasonable chance I’ll be alive for any chaos that ensues. Who knows, maybe the new asteroid destroyer app from Android will be able to take care of it by then.

Mitch strikes again.

Well one good thing…it wasn’t be destroying any dinosaurs…..

If we’re all lucky, we’ll see the films @ 11.00. ☺️

This seems a subject that supports landscape mode.

Will it land in New Jersey?

“They” may not be filming in landscape, but also definitely not a portrait in ETERNAL youth and beauty …!

Oh yeah, that’s my ride. It will be stopping, but not for long, so don’t be late.

The guide for asteroid size was on xkcd a while back:xkcd dot com / 3049 /

New horizons in getting around to it.

…does this asteroid belt make me look fat?…

That kind of asteroid deserves a second s.

Bunny hats are selling like hotcakes at the Froglandia Bath Mat Factory Gift Shop, in response to this news item.

Nope. The chips we’ve been forced to have implanted will have automatic focus, and they won’t even use film.

What are these little round balls going down the back of my shirt?

NO … They’ll be too busy grabbing their coccyxes and chanting …!

Asteroid rage is a real thing. If this happens to you, don’t look them in the eye, slow down, orbit the nearest moon and call home, just in case.

Absolutely nailed the most important point there. Those who film in portrait should be shipped straight to Gitmo.

Is that Mitch McConnell wearing a rabbit on his dome?
