    It is a little known fact that the Golden Fire Artichoke allows those that eat it to be camouflaged, even in urban surroundings. The form of this camouflage is usually in the form of a brown box 3′ × 7′.

    Are police even necessary in Froglandia? The denizens here are too busy imagining lame comments and policing themselves while they’re at it.

    Just act like you know what you’re doing and that you belong there and you’ll get away with almost anything.

    … I guess the cops have to do their jobs, whether for good reasons or bad…

    …and this quote is about not drawing attention to yourself, whether for good reasons or bad…

    … the supposed child on the swing, however, is another story…

    … there are other predators out there besides those using the same techniques to catch their prey…

    …I am talking about Snuffy Smith using his Barney Google search engine to sell the young whippersnappers off guard and steal their lunch boxes to sell to Yogi Bear…

    … I’ve seen this all the time…

    … a child looking forward to eating his red velvet Oreos is surprised instead to see a rock or road in his or her pail…

    … where were the sherriff deputies then?…

    I’m appalled! I stopped reading when this essay said “Beat cops…” violence against cops is not to be encouraged!

    When approached, ALWAYS holster your weapon AND zip up your pants … but NOT at the same time …!!!

    15-mile-long cloud of ladybugs over California appears on weather radar June 5, 2019

    A massive cloud of ladybugs known as a “bloom” was over the San Gabriel Mountains of California and appeared on weather radar.

    “The radar was showing there was something out there,” says Mark Moede, a forecaster with the NWS. “We looked at the satellite image but there weren’t clouds that size in the area.”

    A few calls were made to weather spotters in the area, and finally one of them said, “ladybugs!”

    Pretend they don’t exist & pray they return the favour. Just digging a tunnel under a bank, nothing to see here, move along.

    So, my pretty, just remain still on that swing and maybe the cops won’t blow you away.

    Of course, such a scenario could never transpire here in Froglandia, as our citizenry is largely peaceful and harmless if loopy, and our cops are largely ceremonial if officious.

    Keeping the wheels of civilized behaviors well greased, we serve and protect! (I speak specifically for the Grammar Police, which I am.)
