Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 19, 2013

And he’s still only 39.

I like the million mile Rolls on the blog. I know from having been a valet car parker that they do, in fact, still make them like that.

The first time you ever open the door of a Rolls Royce, it’s a trippy experience, because you realize the door mechanism has all these extra parts which are there just to ensure smooth operation.

The door of a Rolls doesn’t just open; it glides open, gracefully, and without abruptness. A normal car door seems almost violent by comparison.

Blog: You should consider…..Here I am.

Actually, no, they don’t make them like that any more. Rolls Royce is now owned by BMW, and the modern Rolls-Royce is mostly German. Has been for the last fifteen years. Even before that, the legendary Rolls-Royce build quality was mostly that – legendary. Once upon a time, that was probably not the case, but in the 80’s or 90’s, it certainly was.

Oh, and as far as high mileage goes, the current record holder is a Volvo owned by a man in New York (not the city), which has almost 3 million miles on it. There are many other cars with over a million miles.

My brother’s favorite “sandwich” for years was peanut butter and kosher dill pickle, rolled up in a tortilla.

Who was this “Jack Bunny” of whom you speak, as though to confuse us with misdirected thoughts of Jack Benny? Some lagomorph identity thief? I say to thee, bunny, you’re no hat. I have many hats, and you’re none of them.

Great new riff on a legacy drawing!

Such a beautiful blog this morning I dreaded it ending.

It’s me! It’s me!

Bunnies on the brain.

Apperantley there is a fine line between ballet and gymnastics.

There was a man so deep in thoughthe didn’t even noticehe had a rabbit on his headwhose name was Otis.

The middle girl in the BALLERINAS picture looks exactly like my granddaughter who just happens to be that age.

If they don’t do INFINITY right, they’ll be L 7.

As soon as I heard the very similar statements in the political debate that perhaps inspired today’s comic, I had the perfect response (and I was glad the not all that bright target of them wasn’t able to come up with it).“And you’re no LBJ. Now let’s get back to the issues.”

Growing up in New York in the 50’s gave one the opportunity to walk into delis with sawdust on the floor and extract a giant kosher dill from the barrel with tongs. Unbeatable.

I knew a Jack Ass once. Fortunately he has left this world and we are all better for it.

My wife and I make our own pickles; small gherkins and dilly beans. I also make jalapeño jelly which is terrific. I fry an egg and some Virginia ham and place it on my homemade bread along with some of the jalapeño jam and it makes a tasty sandwich. Our dill pickles have a nice crunch to them.

Jack Bunny? WELL…….

Mayonnaise with mustard and Louisiana hot sauce mixed in makes a nifty garnish. Try it!

Ms.T., re: Negro records post. Check your copy of the notice text. A critical “not” got left out.

I read these and think: " I’m probably the only one who gets this." Then I see in the comments everyone gets it. Then I think: “I’m probably the only person I know who would get this if they were to read it.” So I never tell anyone about it in case they would get it.
