Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 10, 2024

The tangent has been out in the sun too long.

All this talk of gyros is making me hungry.

Everybody knows that.

That’s easy for you to say.

Let me demonstrate with a spirograph.

I like my gyros with a little tadziki..

Hey, buddy! You do that, and you’ll clean it up!

…this is why I got all ’A’s in eighth grade science…

…and nearly failed freshmen science class…

…my freshmen class was mostly memorization of the element chart…

…eighth we made weather maps…

…and took field trips to science centers and to movies…

…like 2001 A Space Odyssey…

…not only am I dyslexic in my vision…

…I am also dyslexic in my hearing…

….sometimes I hear ‘too’ when it is supposed to be two or to…

…was I born that way?…

…got it from butting heads with our goat for fun?…

…the football concussions?…

…my mind drifting when the science teacher started discussing the in and outs of exgyrocircles?…

…(personally I think it was banging my head against the wall constantly just for fun)…

…Star Trek over Star Wars…

…only because the peaceful exploring always comes with a big can of whoopa$$…

…we…

…must…

…save the monkeys from…

…themselves…

…so that…

…WE…

…can destroy them later…

I, for one, do like hot buttered button mushrooms and potato pancakes as sides.

Tangents are generally a bad thing in animation since they flatten the design and direct your eye like an arrow, and I stressed that students should not use them. They are often appropriate when used in graphic design.

Oh my God – flashback to 11 grade geometry! Please just shoot me!

A high-falutin’ nonsequitor.

Is this something I could draw on a Pringle?

i did not know that.

Will there be a test on this material later?

Is this Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Euclidean Geometry, or Teresean Geometry? Inquiring minds want to know.

Edible wheels within wheels,

Greek treats in special meal deals.

Set the controls for the heart

of the sun — sesame bun,

fresh-loaded from salad cart,

lookout there… condiment fun!

Fine dining art-eatery feels!

Fine line bending back: Minds reel!

Clavichord soundtrack, munching,

no looking back, digesting.

The pin sounds no singing string;

Muse already changed course — ping!

And when Elvis gyrated it drove the girls crazy.

I play a mean triangle … 2, 3, 4

( come & get it )

Certainly sounds like something Jar Jar would say.

Yes.

Exercyle™ blues.

Winter bed magnet still on

full blast in Spring’s light.

Pinwheel!! … Whaddya mean, pinwheel isn’t the answer?! It is what you get when you assemble a half dozen or so exgyrocircles and blow. Really! (Good thing Tik Tok is still legal here, That’s where I saw this demonstrated.)

Go on. You haven’t provided enough information to solve the problem.

Whoa, slow down — let’s not get all het up and hyperbolic about this stuff!

Mr. Turtle, Mr. Turtle, spin a shot on the Twister™ board and plastic Froglandia bath matt. Rubber Ducky with Trump and condom wit porn star.

It’s coming round, and going round, at skyrocketing speed.

No known to mankind, but now mankind in flash rain or something like lieten(sic) Teenagers gee’s. Kirk is logging on neighbors. Head Up!

I award you a Th.D.
