Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 29, 2011

Um, nice bicep?

Actually this person has a severe deformity of the arm, forcing it to remain in that position at all times. That’s why he’s not wearing a shirt.

Not really my style.

A gynotikolobomassophile is someone who likes to nibble on women’s earlobes. Look it up!

Teresa and Brooke McE send me to the dictionary more often than anyone I know…

No Judy, gynotikol obomassophile is two words, and it refers to a woman who has a fetish for President Obama’s tush.

A man with this fetish is referred to as an androtikol obomassophile.

Men at Work

An elderly man out for a stroll happened across a construction site populated by several men leaning on shovels.

The foreman came over and said, “You can’t be here, old man. Can’t you see the Men Working sign?”

The oldster replied, “Sonny, in my day we didn’t need a sign.”

Very sad. There was a recent piece on NPR about starvation in North Korea, and they explained that this sort of thing is referred to as “alternative food.”

Which, of course, isn’t actually food.

MEN AT WORK!

Because of my forced union membership, I learned there are different definitions of “work”. Obviously there are different definitions of “men”.

…and don’t you forget it!

I’m a gynotikolobomassophobe. Is there any hope for me? At least, I’m a gynophile. That counts for something, doesn’t it?

As an introvert, I like the instructions on how to treat an introvert.

Mary Badham was perfect as Scout. I’ve read the book many times, and she nailed the role and character.

I still like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis………………

Love this comic. Did Teresa teach school?

Re the blog “Photo Opportunity” : Oh no!!! Giant children have mutated due to the radioactivity release following the earthquake and tsunami and subsequent nuclear plant meltdown. They are as large as Goh Jirrah!!! Look out Tokyo!!! Where is Raymond Burr when you need him?

I’m glad that C.S. Lewis understood that growing old is mandatory, but also that growing up is optional.

FB & FA are just killer today, Mz. T. !

Regarding “Photo Opportunity,”

I showed this to Godzilla expert August Ragone, and he believes this pic may have come from the blog of one Patrick Macias:

Says August, “This is a behind-the-scenes photo from DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (1968). The wearer is Haruo Nakajima.”

The Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder: I have a Droll Yankee bird feeder that has a motorized perch. Birds can feed from it, but when a squirrel sits on it it triggers a motor that spins the perch and the squirrel flies off. It’s hilarious. Unfortunately, the squirrels learned that if they slide down the tube into the perch, they can jam the perch and it won’t turn. Eventually, they burned out the expensive rechargeable battery. I still have it, my beautiful squirrel feeder. Once in a while, the male cardinal gets some seeds and flies them over to his dowdy little wife, who absolutely refuses to get on the thing. Feeding your wife is a good way to get a kiss, though. Gotta love cardinals. I THINK they are monogamous. Not sure.

A couple of the more slender local raccoons have learned to stand on the squirrel baffle on the shank of the frame for our feeders–then they raid one of the feeders. I now have to bring it in each night.

I was leaving the mesh feeder out but the rascals learned that if they shook the pole it would rain sunflower seeds to the ground where they were easy pickings.

None of our squirrels have ever shown the slightest interest in the bird feeders–we have a number of black walnut trees which must satisfy them. There are still a number of last year’s nuts on the ground.

re Blog - I know exploring is not complicated, so don’t go changing the coordinates.

Nearly missed it–today is Save the Frogs Day which may bear some relevance to this site.
