Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 11, 2016

TYPO ALERT! It’s redolent, not rendolent. Shame.

Rendered Lent.Now in almond!

Old people can’t talk good. They make up words.

I actually recently had a conversation with a person who considered themselves a pendant of wisdom. The almonds smelled bitter, though, so I gave up and went to watch an old movie with Hope and Change, The Road to Babylon.

Rendolent: Evocatively scentful in an unsubtle way, bringing to mind the odiferocity of a rendering plant.

Taste this Prussic acid. Is it not re[n]dolent of almonds?Cyanide poisoning has a long and dishonorable history, though I’m not sure it was favored by the ancient Greeks….

Hey! Teresa has corrected the text! Holy typos, Froggies!

He’d better hoplite on it.

Resplendent in our indolence, someday Spell-Check will work with intentions.

This raises an interesting question for wordies: is this kind of typo properly pronounced “ALL mond” or “AL mond?”

Atypeo—-Crème de Almond

Some times you feel like a nut.Some times you don’t.Almond Joy’s got nuts.Mounds don’t.Buy Hershey’s candy bars today!Most people have a severe chocolate deficiency and never know it. Not dogs, of course.The theobromine would kill them.(Probably because of the two carbon atoms!)

The Paradox Loophole:A short story in seventeen parts, broken into conceptual groups of five, seven and five.Asking why the story paralleled the illustrations without collusion is left as an exercise in relaxing flotation.

Except for Radish, of course, for whom the concept of relaxing flotation holds absolutely no meaning.

Coconuts are a drupe, and watch out they can fall from the tree, hit you on the head, and even kill you.
