    …drat…

    …it sounds dirtier than it is…

    …what’s a telephone cord?…

    …duct tape doesn’t get preverted, but Scotch tape sometimes does…

    … is it even possible to swat a puffleg?…

    …maybe SWAT can tase one …

    …or the new Chuck Norris…

    Looks like he’s undergoing some well-earned discipline right there. Seems he’s stuck himself to the unrolling duct tape, with potentially disastrous results.

    Damn, I hate hoary pufflegs! They deserve a good not-so-gentle swat.

    I truly miss the Duct Tape of yore … I just replaced my 15 year-old fridge to which I had duct tapped the excess water line … I had to use scissors to get it off … nowadays that tape will have crumbled in a year or two … here’s hoping the Gorilla Tape I used for the new fridge will last for a tadpole longer … thanks for listening …!

    You swat (gently or otherwise) a hoary puffleg in Mother’s presence and you’re gonna discover the wrath of ARAST goes both ways.

    We all know about perverse tendrils, but we do not talk about them! At least, not in polite company. Not sure where my Commentariat Colleagues fit on the Politeness Scale, though. Have to mull that one over. Oh, waiter! Pour the Merlot, please; I need to mull….

    But a hoary whoreson deserves a healthy swat, pufflegged or no!

    So, let the Party begin! Roll out the duct tape! Distribute the badminton rackets! Fore!

    …now that the civil war is about to start they will blame it all on the duct taping of the hoary puff legs. Soon, like a good tendril perversion the whole country will be twisting in on itself. Why they call it a civil war is beyond me when rudeness led to it. It had nothing to do about being right, and everything to do with cocksure. Even Humpty Dumpty was beyond repair….

    … if duct tape had been around then, I am sure the Titanic would still be with us…

    …Is this Teresa flipping us the bird?…

    … even hoary puff legs look better in fishnets…

    …especially on Fridays…

    …well, maybe not Joe Friday…

    …but then again…

    …I know I will get a fax of this, but will I also get an email?…

    …just the fax, ma’am…

    …just the fax…

    … my cousin used to duct tape his kids to the wall…

    …nerd…

    …velcro is better…

    … Kumbaya…

    …my phone’s battery is so bad, I think I do have a landline…

    …and our neighbor’s dog leaves landmines in our backyard…

    …I love the smell of skunk in the morning…

    …it smells like victory…

    … Pepé Le Pew…

    During the battle frenzy the magic sword Stormbringer, created by the forces of Chaos, it is described as a huge, black sword covered with strange runes carved deep into its blade, would start to sing its insidious song as it sucked in the souls of those it killed….

    Sorry, wrong comment.

    …I can’t find my car keys…

    …please hold…

    …how do you keep a Froglandian in suspense?…

    …tell you tomorrow…

    I don’t gently swat anything called a puffleg. (Spellcheck just changed puffleg to piffle. Don’t even know what a piffle is.)

    I have always enjoyed “Frog Applause”. It seems the most “Dada~esque” comic to be found & never fails to tickle my absurdist sentiments. I have an image of Marcel Duchamp taking time out from a game of chess to have a few chuckles over Ms. Burritt’s obvious grasp of the slippery nature of the amphibians of humor. ;-)
