Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 16, 2021

Shocking!

Up on the high wire,

Don’t do this during

An ice storm, electrical pire,

Would kill worse than mire,

In a electrical shocker.

My point is a deadly killer.

Benjamin Franklin, nobody should leave after this guy flew a kite with a key on the tail and unlocked electricity from key to Benny’s hand pointer finger included.

good point

This was the title of a 7-page booklet published by CBS. “CBS wanted to make it very clear that the eight-minute radio broadcast of President Roosevelt on March 4th 1933 [the “All we have to fear is fear itself” speech] was a significant and exceptional use of the new medium. CBS points out that “Roosevelt did advertising’s most significant job…advertising ’courage” and “conquered despair”, and that those eight minutes over the radio “added cash value of the nation….commodity markets pulsated, dollars rose around the world, demand for department store credit rose 40 percent”. In short, this was an early recognition of the extreme value of immediate access to a national population.”

Point, counter-point. What’s the score. Set, match, love lost. how can we get some more? Everybody’s missing something, driving hard to score. Missing 411, get lost, get found, on a telephone pole or a milk carton. Tweet to make pointless points and lose your soul while gaining likes. Drop out, tune in, wait… what was the point?

…if I told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times if you don’t put your points away after playing with them that you’ll lose them…

…there is no point in today’s Frog Applause…

…it was all made using body doubles and a green screen…

… Reddy kilowatt for the new Olaf inspired generation…

…I see the Phoo bird dropped by…

…an electric car ttoon…

…surprise, surprise, surprise…

…that’s not my point, either…

…Cedar Point?…

..you’ve never been to Cedar Point?…

Yeah, I don’t Cedar Point. We’re still trying to distribute the point. Don’t get me started.

Would that point be the loose eyeball? Or is it the line she’s walking on?

Fencing is the art of making your point while avoiding that of others.

Missing the point: the old/new national pastime, since, oh … 1620.

The point is:

Arrows to the heart!

Knifes to the meat,

Fishing hook to the fish,

Pencils with a point!

All this and more at the Froglandia Bathmat Factory! Clearance Sale of anything with a point, even a point of view can be found in our Discussion room! Free Java to those who stop in for a lengthy and robust conversation! Topics will be varied, accordingly …

Never ruffled the hair on the heads it passed over…

I remember well the young fellow I knew at school who shook, or jiggled, his leg, and said he did it because he lacked the outlet of a girl to whom to show affection. (That wasn’t exactly how he expressed it, however.)

Reddy Kilowatt redux!

The compass points

Grab em by the guts, make em feel nuts.

“A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” painted from 1884 to 1886 by Georges Seurat is a pointillism masterpiece … can you imagine what he could do with Cedar Point …?

That was no point. That was my plane.

“A thousand points of light” is pretty hard to miss, but don’t overestimate us.

Inspiration Point

Spin the bottle.

Paper Airplanes made with folds and sharp points for cooler flights.

Conan Doyle, the inventor of Sherlock Holmes, became a Sir for writing a pamphlet about the Bohr War.

Not missed, taken.

The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on.

It does not point, because that would be pointless (ironic, isn’t it?).

A pop-eyed (one has popped out) high-wire artiste is truly electrifying! He works with no net! On a crossing-from-building-to-building Challenge, sadly, he missed his endpoint.

SPLAT! Point made.
