    I shudder to think that the thrill is gone.

    Intense burnt out passion of enthusiastic zeal and excitement expressed through overwhelmingly exhausting avidity..

    For some reason, “I found my frisson, in Blueberry Prison” never quite took off, even with an iron maiden, a guillotine and a mannequin suspended by shackles and chains as part of the stage dressing. The crowd just wasn’t ready for it.

    One point, if I may. The emails in question are a violation of law, and the cover-up involved perjury before Congress.

    Threatening to deport illegal aliens guilty of criminal actions, or to put criminals in jail for their alleged crimes or Treason is not terribly extreme.

    It is nothing more than execution of the Office, as required by the Oath of Office.

    Too much frisson is barely enough.

    For a change of frisson, may I suggest a thrilling lope through the collected Lame that is the Frog Applause Appreciation Society site?

    LATEST LAME edition (only one week old)

    Opens door … scans comments … stops dead in tracks … avoids eye contact … hunches shoulders … tiptoes backwards … carefully shuts door ,,, runs like hell.

    You coulda (shoulda woulda) swatted him with your hat too while you were at it. The interesting thing is that the Republicans have been vilifying her for nigh on to 20 years trying to head this off. They’re getting what they deserve in my opinion. Y’all have just been “lucky” enough to see one of my as rare as leap day political comments on the internet. Don’t count on seeing another.

    Just a soupcon of frisson and then overlords abound.

    To think, a simple banner set off these lame fireworks!

     

    Reminds me of one a talented friend drew and gave to me: “Rah! Rah! Fight fiercely, Harvard!” We weren’t at Harvard, but we were tweedy (my artist friend was even smoking a pipe) and on the East Coast at the time. Later, we both receded to the Midwest (a.k.a. fly-over country).

     

    I loathe yellow monkeys.
