Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 11, 2020

Maybe paint a self portrait and get some balance to your self image…..OY!

I have a refrigerator magnet that looks like a bag of french bread, one that looks like a tiny bottle of Maggi seasoning, and one that says in German, “Wenn wir heute nix tun, leben wir morgen wie gestern.”

I have a refrigerator magnet that is the speaker magnet from a car that took down a tree on a nearby corner in an accident in which somebody died. It doesn’t look like much, of course. Another one is a three inch ceramic donut that serves as the holder for a church key. So let us not insult the church of the holy donut.

This comic mocks people who are unrefrigeratored. I am triggered.

I’ll bet you’re constantly moving them up and down.

But it’s a perfectly cromulent place to start.

a well-known makes a business of insulting..

…mock-yeah…

…king-yeah…

…Mockingbird…

…just, but refrigerator magnets are sooo much fun to mock…

…oneword:…

… Sarah Palin…

…goonies need refrigerator magnets, too…

…how else do you put up the Froglandia Pizzeria’s menu…

… gesundheit…

…looks like he has supercalifragilisticexpialidocious syndrome…

…take that Barney Hill…

I have a refrigerator magnet of a little refrigerator that looks like it has several tiny refrigerator magnets on it.

When magnets leave the Froglandian Magnet Company (a subsidiary of the Froglandian Bath Mat Company, I’m guessing), how do they know they are destined for someone’s refrigerator? The bigger question is: how does ANY magnet know this? Is a refrigerator like the glue factory for a horse magnet? I have a lot of magnets. I’d hate to think that they feel mocked for guarding my Tator Tot chamber. I thought in Froglandia we were more accepting of all kinds of people and all kinds of magnets. Maybe the wrong kind of magnets have infiltrated our homes and lives. I haven’t checked my magnets for little microphones lately. Would that be a hellish move on my part? Is a magnet guilty until proven innocent?

My wife says I’m on a roll this morning. A lot she knows. I’m sitting on a bagel.

A generic refrigerator magnet might say things like space for milk and butter, icecream inside my kind, free ice cubes…

From Picasso’s “Face Period” …. just before the blue one …! Old Pablo certainly had a magnetic personality ….

clever insults always volove magmatizime (sp) .

Looks more like Edvard Munch than Picasso. Either way, I have to ask, “Why would I want to have to face this every time I go for a beer?” I’d rather go back to drinking herbal tea.

He looks like Moe Howards hipster nephew. Why I oughta!

That looks like a kind of Picasso birth defect. Just a touch of it though.

Hmm.

When I choose to insult someone, his refrigerator magnets are hardly the first target of my invective, ever. Maybe the second, in some cases. And that’s why I keep my refrigerator magnets to a very select minimum….

Did I mention that you look kinda…weird?

I’ve always found fridge magnets attractive.
