Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 15, 2017

Monopoly is a there game and of course money is paper. Take a ride on the Reading!

Anyplace but Oakland, because there’s no there, there!

They’re each in their chair and the lair is neither here nor their.

The latest hidden message..Wally stiffed Beaver. Beaver squared up on Wally.

Take note where the pattern of the wallpaper does not line up at each seam precisely right there, just by a hair..

And Sharkey says:

Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!

At the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other

But they ride off in opposite directions

I’ve taken up an interest in news and politics. It’s weird all by itself. I saw a story about a show or a sports event. There was an elected official. He had a box of Popcorn, Junior Mints, Milk Duds or something. I saw it as a bag of frozen peas. He was munching away at them. The hand holding the bag was all blue and frosty. I can hardly wait to see what that’s all about. I suppose it’s nothing the news people would really want me to know. They like to keep things normal and paper over the blemishes sometimes. But sometimes, people just need somebody to hear them. It doesn’t matter, to them, that somebody wants them to not be heard. If you’re real quiet, you might hear them. But if you do, you can never go back to who you were. Sorry, Mom.

Hint: “there” is in one of these 6 eastern African nations:

1. Kenya

2. Uganda

3. Tanzania

4. Rwanda

5. Burundi

6. Congo

P.S. “Thai Mai Tai” would be a good name for 1 of those little umbrella drinks actors and actresses are always sipping on in movies featuring a tropical beach paradise.

There is where the musical chairs repair. To.

Have you ever decorated in public?

Dialogue from a Pinter play.

You can’t get there from here.

@ALLEN WILLEY – from yesterday: Can we at least agree that Deputy Dan has no friends?

A C. P. Gilman allusion?

You called me shmoopy. You’re a shmoopy.

Were all here because were not all there.

Why does the “wall-paperer” have a lair, unless he is in fact an Arch-Villain Intent on World Conquest? Clearly, this a case for Jimmy Bond, or Nappy Solo, or Secret Agent Manny! One of those guys will have to figure out where “there” is in order to Save the World, and before the dead(very dead!)line….

Oh, hurry, hurry, scurry, scurry! Froglandia needs a Hero!

Apparently, privacy laws don’t apply when it comes to revealing the whereabouts of wallpaperers.
