Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 06, 2010

Wise words, oh T.!

To listen would be to imply that the blather coming out of other people’s mouths was anywhere near as interesting as the brilliant thoughts that I’m thinking. I suspect it isn’t, but I wouldn’t know, as I’ve never tried.

Some might say that the World is divided into two types: Listeners and Blatherers…. As for me, I am a Wonderer: now wondering, why origami?

Aloofness allowed the pretty hollow wooden duck full of Trojan soldiers to sail into the harbor… It’s wabbit season.

Naked Russian Man made me literally laugh out loud. That doesn’t happen too often.

Regarding the cooking of dice, you’d better not try that with old ones made of celluloid!

What happens when you cook celluloid dice? Is it anything like putting peeps in a microwave?

About Naked Russian Man. Where is the politzi (don’t know the russian word for police)???

Celluloid dice? Hah! The dang recipe didn’t mention what kind. The fuzzy ones just catch on fire. My pending lawsuit from yesterday is still open for discussion with Teresa, although I will be unavailable for comment until the forest fire in my neighborhood is extinguished.

I think Uncle Touchy was remembering that picture of Gina, Sophia and Yvonne.

The Naked Russian Man was soooo fascinating. It had everything…including hot Russian chicks, dog with more clothes on than naked man (couldn’t have less) making two appearances, concerned/unconcerned roommate/guy who carries around bathrobes, bullies, bystanders. Everything but police.

One naked man just walking down the road would cause a heap o’ trouble for all concerned… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAr8mWCws5Q

Now listen up! Must I repeat everything I say?

Uncle Touchy, a hands-on kind of guy.

Now a nyc geography question for small bra women. Were these the first twin towers and why?

are those “tax forms” in the back ground ?? naughty MzB…

To bad about Francoise Dorleac. I enjoyed her brief film career before her tragic death.

Can’t believe I watched the whole bleeep thing.

I never have found insanity hilarious

Just visited Frog Blog for the first time in a couple of weeks. The Violinist post reminded me of the anecdote about Sir Thomas Beecham.

It is said that in one rehearsal he was unsatisfied with the performance of a female cello soloist, and so said to her “Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving pleasure to thousands, and all you can do is scratch it!”.

(This is an unsourced quote, but if he didn’t say it, he bloody well should have.)

Amen to that - and it saves more than just time.

If you wonder what Ed’s “swellest Sunday morning treat in the world” was, it was “Piping hot bran muffins, made with 40% Bran Flakes! Man, were they good!”

(Probably NOT what you were thinking, was it? Shame on you!)

Original Post Bran Flakes ad here.

“Life is swell when you keep well.”

Everytime I see a picture of Sophia Loren in a restaurant I think of these: http://scattergood-blog.blogspot.com/2009/08/jayne-mansfield-and-sophia-loren.html And the question is what was Clifton Webb doing when these pictures were taken in 1957? Come on Cliff, this is the only fall out that can’t hurt you! Gape, Stare, Ogle. drool!

^?

Ushindi, You forgot Looseners, the ALL weather breakfast cereal. Nothing better to get you going and going!

Talk about allusions of grandeur. Josh1360 is a joke. Nothing personal, Off the Wall, but Josh is little more than a fly on the GoComics wall. SWAT! http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2010/07/yes-we-feel-love_08.html

DoctorToon: What does this person say when confronted? Do others (who know) just ignore him/her? How is having all these identifies fun?

Guess the F-Blog baboon must be “paddling his primate”.

That Russian guy deserves a chorus or two of Randy Newman’s “Naked Man”

Jim: I wasn’t referring to you! I just said what I said so you wouldn’t think I was talking about you when I mentioned the fly thing. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

@3HT: My best estimate would be…. No, oh yes, very hard, yes, a case, sometimes two, most definitely, no, no only if they want to be, depends, fear and reality tv, Pi divided by the volume of your A$$ times the length of your attention span. Go ahead, have another cup, it’s time for FaX

“wears” ? 3hour, I am astonished, amazed and awed that you would try to imply that our beloved St Teresa would trade clothing to create FA. I am sure she uses every the trick of the cartoonists’ trade to guile us into slap happy sycophants. We know her where abouts and her wares are better than those wears. Where were we? I think you should try some of that jug tea available on the blog, as for me I’ll just download that picture of Catherine D. to my collection. Ecstasy is closer that I will ever know. Thank you, St Teresa.

@radfish, you remember betty jo bialowski, audrey farber, melanie haber? Nancy?

Thanks Whaletail. I was a little off last night. I appreciate that. I did take it wrong. I was having a bad day. I had just accidentally messed up a project I had been working on all day and had to redo it. I took your comment out of context.

Off the Wall: Glad that’s cleared up. I know what it’s like to have a bad day. A bad week. A bad year!

Great concept, the high art comic!.. And I’d love to listen, but after reading all the responses, I’m afraid I hear only in tangents…
