"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

Man, that IS a hard choice. Choose NASCAR, and you can wear tank tops and get really cool tattoos. Choose Scientology, and you, too, can be Tom Cruise.

A guy from where I used to work was really into NASCAR. I remember another guy, Mark, saying, “What’s so hard about riding in a car? I do it every day.” Mark was just trying to make the guy mad, and it always worked.
It led to all sorts of red-faced stats, like, “It’s not unusual for a driver to lose forty pounds during the course of a race!”
I was sorry to see that guy go. He was pretty entertaining.

I like how the kitty is in the classic “farting” position when NASCAR is mentioned.

margueritem: Actually, you could choose NASCAR and STILL be Tom Cruise, pretending to be a NASCAR driver!
painedsmile: Your story is funnier than the strip!

Please! Don’t do it Kitty! A red neck will not compliment your blue fur and a diety from outer space just doesn’t seem to be your style.

Everyone knows blue kittens can’t drive. This is silly.

It is common for a driver to lose 40 pounds. He regains it when they sew his legs back on after the wreck.

Is NASCAR an acronym? If so, what do the letters stand for?

I think “SC” is “Stock Car.”
The whole business probably started on a dirt track somewhere.

NASCAR stands for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. But only rednecks and dingleberries know this.

thedrew: Your story was disgusting and horribly unfunny. What your brother did was criminal. He should have been arrested and punished. He tortured and killed a helpless cat for fun. Was your older brother Jeffrey Dahmer? Please delete your comments.

I’m guessing that thedrew’s story was deleted. It must have been awful. I’m glad I missed it. I’ve read thedrew’s posts before. He’s not a bad person, pretty feet. Come back, Drew!

thedrew lied…it was he who done the dirty deed and now he’s waiting for the knock on the door.

I believe that the cat story was just a joke, although it had me going until he sent the punch line.
thedrew said, about 1 year ago
Deleteing(sp)my joke!?!It was a joke,by the way….I almost feel like a cartoonist:-(

Post it somewhere else, thedrew! I'll read it.
