Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 11, 2010

perhaps one can be thunderfounded. I’m thunderfounded right now…

Is this one of those tongue twisters where you accidentally say the F-word?

I always get confused between flabbergasted and flaggerbasted.

I’ve been bewitched and bewildered, dazed and confused, but being gabberflasted is by far the worst.

Life would oh so sweet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uICOMAJMfsE

We’ve all been waiting for you to coin the neologism….

Dunno, I’m flabberwhelmed.

Welcome to bewildering, idiomatic, slangy English, Ms. T.

And I guess someone has to say it: I’m gobsmacked!

What about ‘Thunderducked?”

It’s an appealing portmanteau word…

3hourtour you are so flagged….Not

on the off chance that some of our military is reading “Frog Applause”… THANK YOU !!

I’ve heard of getting struck by lightning, but not thunder

DOES NAPTIME HAVE FEET OR FLAPPERS?WHOA!THOSE ARE SOME BIG ….FEET!

I can occasionally be called a dumbbell, but never dumbstruck. By the way…can anybody loan me a pair of scissors?

Fritz…you’re welcome.

Re: The Blog, IT’S BUTT-CRACK THURSDAY!

@Cleo, Here’s my scissors, but don’t run with them, or you’ll be thunderstuck by the pain as you stick yourself in the eyes, and I’ll be dumbfounded and flabbergasted at your foolishness.

On my horse named Thunder….

I wouldn’t want to be thundermugged!

and, to fritz: ‘preciate your ‘preciation, amigo.

Pretty sure we could put some thunder in that foundry, even if it takes all night.

Re the blog and “Cowboy songs that children love”, I’m sure the children were thrilled imagining streams of liquor and trees filled with cigarettes.

Silent Night slash Shtilige Nacht

Rudy T, thanks. I don’t plan to run with them. I thought that I’d give her a shorter haircut, to bring out her finer points.

I loved the Veteran’s Day picture in the blog. I still have a few old photos of me in uniform stuck away in a box - when I occasionally come across one, I stop for a moment and wonder whatever happened to that poor dumb young kid…where does the time go?

You all make me laugh! I am pleased to report.

If this keeps up, someone is going to be foundstruck…..

The Ford Pinto of comic strips?! Yikes. Where’s the fire extinguisher?

I believe the drawing of the nun on the blog is from Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra’s Bloody Mary.
