Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 07, 2024

Or, as My Gal Salamander often said, “Illegitimi non carborundum!” But please … Not in front of the Newts!

Psychedelic drugs and cartooning. Wow.

Leapin’ lizards!!

These remind me of the small roadkill animals used by the Vermont artist Marion Waldo McChesney in her creations. We have a small plate which has a design that’s posed almost exactly like that blue-green one in the lower left corner. She used a dead frog to make the impression. We visited her workshop while on a road trip through Vermont many years ago, and purchased it from her.

Liz! LIZ!

The bug control people are here.

Is the correct term for the central figure squirrelpion or scorpiquirrel ?

Converting Bath Mat Factory toxic waste into cartoonery ink was a brilliant idea!

…You’re lookin’ good, just like a snake in the grass…

…One of these days you’re gonna break your glass…

…Don’t bring me down…

…gross…

…as a Browns fan…

…etc., etc & so forth…

…those dirty rotten devil dawgs….

I love it. And I absolutely won’t.

How can you laugh when you know I’m down? (Beatles)Google translate decided Latin: “don’t let them get you down”

“Nothus” is Greek in origin and therefore would not be acceptable classical Latin. “Spurii” would be a more accurate term —a spurned child who was rejected as legitimate when set upon its potential father’s knees.

Squamates of any species – except iguanas – are welcome on my patio in paradise. They eat mosquitos and other pesky insects and cause no harm. Iguanas, on the other hand, are pooping, pestilent pests!!

Cold blooded wonderful art.

noli nothis permittere te terere: don’t let them get you down

Quel est l’autre nom de la pomme de terre …? French:

What is the other name of the “pomme de terre”?

( patate … now I know it’s … potato … NOT apple of the earthy Teresa )

Beautiful artwork: YES! Noli nothis permittere te terere: NO!

No two snowflakes are ever exactly the same.

Looked it up. It’s more or less syntactically correct. I’m not so sure about some of the life forms.

Nemo me impune lacessit

Add Two little toes to my hind foot.

Sideways translation:

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay not permitted here.

very nice animal theme!

Are those the iillegitimi that carborundum? Sure looks like them.

Sorry I’m late.
