Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 20, 2016

Gotta find me a couple of Vorgartenzwerge

Those lawn ornaments had it coming.

No! Not the lawn ornaments!!

Oh, the gnome-manity!

It’s perfectly alright that you happen to borrow any yard ornament from my yard in the middle of the night without my acknowledgement.. Provided that you return any such yard ornament within their proper placement before I notice any yard ornament missing..

Gnome man is in Iceland and tired of himself. A free man, he’s in pieces and incontinent

Bad language? I give that up in 1974. And wish the rest ofsociety would to, if they know what’s good for them.

XKCD did the Legend of Gnome Ann one day.

She’s some sort of super hero or something.

Not my lawn ornaments! It’s hard to find replacement flamingos these days.

Gnome man is an island; but is, on occasion, a rest stop for the neighbor’s over-supped canine.

Oh, the language!

The impugning!

I have live squirrels for lawn ornaments.

Impugn them if you dare!

I am guilty of cultural appropriation, and I’m going to keep doing it!

Ah, I remember this… “The Case of the Purloined Flamingo”… right?

I am downsizing ferrets for Christmas but have run out of hairy pine cones

To boldly go where no one has gone before.

Come for the sameness, stay for the burlap.

I once found my little yard buddha down the street under a pizza box. I don’t know if it was hiding out, but I brought it back. I should add that it was very small, so maybe a squirrel or raccoon or groundhog snatched it. Or a kid down the street who trespasses through his neighbors’ yards looking for “funny rocks”.

@Meh~tdology, replying to yesterday – any member can see the member list. Only admins can see email addresses. (possibly other “officials” but we only have members and admins I think). Try looking at a plain member’s listing and click on the “use that member’s permissions” link (or whatever the link says can type this faster than looking at it).

With unicorns in the comic, someone has to mention Shel Silverstein and The Irish Rovers,

You caught me. Guilty of slandering neighbors’ lawn ornaments.

I’m still waiting to find out the outcome of yesterday’s crime drama. Somebody spill the beans!!

Frog: That is stuff and nonsense!

Toad: Nonsense maybe, but not stuff.

Frog: Not stuff? How so, Toad?

Toad: I have done the math.

Frog: Have you now?

Toad: Yes. Hard and fast, then slow and sweet.

Frog: Boom-chicka-waaa-waa?

Toad: Even so, Frog. Even so.

Frog: Extraordinary! Have we any hope then?

Toad: None. None at all. All is folly.

Rain: (rumbles ominously, begins downpour)

And I’m NOT saying spoiler alert for last week’s episode of South Park.

It was last week! It’s a half-hour show!

There are people who know about trolls and have created an app that will track a troll and identify them. Their long history with trolls goes back well before the internet.

They are Danes, and trolls are part of their cultural heritage.They also say ‘tom’ when they mean empty, as discussed earlier, during the Swiss Cheese alternate self discussion, starring Sam Beckett as Captain Archer.

I don’t know who played the beagle, though. I considered Enterprise as one of the better Star Trek efforts, just for it’s slightly grittier texture.

Well, it sure ain’t the Shroud of Turin, but a burlap sack full of unicorn images, a trinity of them, to be exact, with an added sameness tag (or “no otherness,” if you must be otiose) can be mighty telling, particularly when bordered with a plea to Save the Pink Flamingos and Garden Gnomes from neighboring vandals and other assorted barbarians….

Bunny! (I just wanted to say that, HappyX3.)
