Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 10, 2012

Yes, but if you really want it to grow, playing it death metal is the way to go….

Nothing like threatening the little buggers to make them grow !

Re: RICHARD NIXON

" They Laughed When I Sat Down To Play ".

Yvonne de Carlo was rumored to have left more scorch marks on casting couches than any of her contemporaries. She once said, “The problem with men is they don’t leave their spouses, the louses.” And she acted so domestic as Lily Munster.

Never trust a naked gardener who speaks of scissors and Jolly Rogers; never trust a naked sun-bather on the next rooftop over who gives unsolicited advice.Just never trust.

I grew up in New York. The tops of those tenement buildings are usually roofed in tar paper, and in the summer, in the city, (♬ in the summer, in the city ♬), they do get hotter than a match head. No wonder her south-40 is all red.

That’s one red rump.

I’ve got some wild oats I’d like to sow.

The blog: Is “hippy figure” a euphemism for “busty”? How uptight can you get? But that finely tuned fashion sense is lost on Yvonne.

@ beviek: wasn’t Festus the deputy on Gunsmoke? You may be thinking of my favorite light-bulb sucking Uncle Fester from the Addams Family….

I keep binoculars handy in case of nubile, nude lady sunbathers. I live on a lake so I remain optimistic.

Yes, talk nicely, unlike Norvus to the plant from Saturn in JC Duffy’s blog on Monday

WOW! … for me today is sort of a red letter day on the blog … two of my least favorite people made it (Nixon and Oswald) and two of my most favorite (Henri and Chisholm) … WOW!

Re: RICHARD NIXON ( redux )Nixon wasn’t the only piano player in the White House. Harry Truman also played and was notoriously testy about his performances.Nixon, was not only an accomplished pianist, but also played the violin and accordion.Other musical Presidents: Bill Clinton – saxophone; FDR – organ ( purportedly ); Wilson and Tyler – violin ; Chester Arthur – banjo ; John Quincy Adams – flute ; Thomas Jefferson – violin, cello and clavichord ; and Warren Harding claimed he could play everything except a slide trombone and an E-flat coronet !

Looks like they’re mooning and flashing whoever might be on that third building’s roof.If one was relatively recently enlightened, it’s not a rerun.

Your faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty in the moonlight overthrew youShe tied you to a kitchen chairShe broke your throne, and she cut your hairAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

L. Cohen

Nicely done dbld. I was just thinking Nekkid Wimmen on rooftops. And Rufus Wainright saw that a whole different way.

I’ve still got my “Chisholm for President” campaign buttons somewhere at home. I’ll take a pic if I remember…

Re: PARIS MÉTRO (1980)Oh, mon adorable petit chien ! N’ayez pas peur.

Robert L. Thomas, Jr. thinks I’m a coward because I engage in the totally normal and accepted practice of using a screen name on the Internet? What a damned idiot he is!

Carolyn Jones was always a hotty to me. See the steam coming out of my ears.

Casting Director to Yvonne De Carlo;“You’ve got the part!”

@beviek- glass art: I remember as a kid and older a glassworker who had a store on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk for years. He’d often work in the front window. I loved to stand watching, mesmerized. Regrettably, I never bought anything. I needed the money for the rides.

If she just wore some more clothes, then maybe her booty wouldn’t look so sore. Also, lotion!
