Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 17, 2010

Oh, I have to be wise? I CAN’T HANDLE THE PRESSURE!!!

They are both curious and aloof. The first will get them killed. The second… Do either really care?

I am most intrigued by the apparent Bionic Bigfoot toy on the blog. At first glance, it certainly does look like the Kenner toy. However, compare the pic on the blog to pics of the toy:

The hands are positioned wrong and the head and face are different.

Also, I don’t recall there ever being a vehicle released for the bigfoot toy.

Could the pic on the blog be a prototype for an unreleased toy? It’d be interesting to know the source of the pic.

That hoggish Teresa has already used up the basic alternatives! Oh, yeah! Then tell us we have “cartooning powers”! That must be the joke.

(I am invoking my authority as official FA cranky curmudgeon here.)

In the Blog: Linus is chugging a beer while thinking of todays episode of Fishnet Friday. He knows what Vlad will do to him for gazing at the photo too long. The innocent round head kid will suffer the consequences.

BTW, How many powers did we get? Are they rechargeable?

The kitties aren’t kitties, cause the kitties are cats!

Lie Detector: “Duh.”

TERESA With these new found Cartoon Powers, will I be able to tell if my two furry saints are unhappy, or just trying for an extra meal? What is the word, neglectful or neurotic? Can the pharmaceutical industry help?

No… absolutely not. I have NEVER touched myself while READING Frog Applause.

MadBristowart, but that owl is watching you.

I have a question for the frog lady: once we’ve chosen our scenario, what are we supposed to do with it? Give it a bath? Buy it a drink? Sell its story to The National Enquirer? Teach it to aspirate its “h”s?

I’m more confused than usual. Little help?

@ madbristowart - I don’t know what a bristo wart is, or why it’s angry or crazy, but that’s a well known side effect from touching frogs.

Got an ID on that Bionic Bigfoot! As I suspected, it’s a much smaller scale than the usual 18 inch tall Kenner toys from the Six Million Dollar Man series. It was part of the Dual Launch Drag Race set. Scroll down to the bottom of the following page for info and pics:

some people like to be their own chair, I like to be my own bed.

cheeseburger - yes - yes happy cheeseburger - no - not happy

OK, OK, I get it:

I won’t eat hot dogs when I’m tripping on LSD.

Ok, so… was that Archie or Jughead?
