The original Twilight Zone series was one of my favorites, even though “Little Girl Lost” gave me the screaming heebie-jeebies as a child. For years I was afraid I was going to fall through a warp in my wall, and for some reasonm my childhood memory was that the little girl was never rescued, which made it even more terrifying. Watched it again 50 years later and it was far less frighening, but so many of the episodes were so well done.
I like Alexander Pope. I used to like poached eggs, but got health-scared off them by undercooked yellow journalism. I don’t eat my Frog Applause, yet I do consume it daily.
From “Satires and Epistles of Horace, Imitated: The Second Epistle of the Second Book of Horace”(Trying to satisfy people’s preferences in poetry is like trying to satisfy their preferences in types of meat dishes.)…But, after all, what would ye have me do,When out of twenty I can please not two?When this Heroics only deigns to praise,Sharp Satire that, and that Pindaric lays?One likes the pheasant’s wing, and one the leg;The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg:Hard task to hit the palate of such guests,When Oldfield loves what Dartineuf detests!…Search for “vulgar boil” at Google Books.
I’d go cook an egg with her.The only people who will get that without this fine print speak enough French to know the expression “va te faire cuire un ouef” which means “go cook and egg” literally but is like saying “get lost” in English. Thank you Madame Powers, my high school French teacher et Parisienne

What’s the big idea of posting a new Frog Applause on time? I’m not sure if I can adjust to this.

Time for another episode of
BAD TRANSLATOR!(Looks like Vlad got drunk and broke into FB again last night)
Original text:“I have my new computer set up now. “Frog Applause” is back!! (Thank you for your patience.)"
…6 translations later, SDL gives us:"I have my serious news of computer in now. The approval of frog is the return! ! (A lot for its patience gives it the thanks). "
