Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 08, 2022

That’s what they all say.

Lampito has caught one of the men!  "Misery, woe upon woe!"

I’ll have to check the cellar, but I’m sure there’s a nice Chianti down there somewhere.

Members of Generation Z will read this and say, “Go ahead and literally kill me, mommy!”

…the woman of Athens, then exclaimed…

…oh, for the delicious juice of the Spartan grapes…

…whoa, Kinesias, why can’t you favor me with the luscious Spartian fruit of the vine…

…damn you, woman…

..that is the exact reason we were fighting against Sparta…

…you remember…

…Honey, I am going to get you a six pack of Sparta Juice even if half of Athens has to die to get it!…

…remember that?…

…I was just reaching for the last six pack when you called us back and said no sex until this war ends…

..and saying it in your very best Victoria Secrets half clinging off you …

…did not help…

…now, you are complaining that you have no Sparta juice!?!…

…do not point that finger at me like that, she sneered…

…surprise, surprise, surprise, he replied…

…that’s not my finger, either!…

…oh, poo, she said…I’ll just get through Amazon, then…

…Aaargh, he yelled, I am going to my mancave and try to loosen a nut…

Now you’re just being catty.

I hate days like this.

God bless w/mercy on women’s day today.

Hang in there girls w/love from all of your being.

By ripping a guy’s abs across, prier to hanging him, will cause his entrails to strew at his feet.

When he hits the ropes end, the entrails pour outward threw the teeth cut.

What ancient god or demon is this?

Bottom right: is that the leg Aristophanes was pulling?

And besides that, I am crushing your head.

Happy International Women’s Day, everyone!

Me innards cause me grief….

And they’re stuffed daily with food, bacteria, gases,(yikes!), fluids, sweets, sour, bitter, hot, cold, spicy, greasy, crispy, mushy, hardened,floating debris

Ripping me entrails with one’s teeth, will certainly be a feat if it doesn’t choke and gag you first …..EW EW EW

pleasant thought!

Lysistrata is the perfect person to honor on International Women’s Day.

If all the women in the world followed her scheme, there would never be wars…

This might help:

Behold Leonidas I at the Gates of Hell …!

(out of LUCK for now)

Story of my life.

Oh, great! Could you check on my anal glands while you’re there?

Sounds like fun, though I don’t know whether I’ll have the guts to do again.

Wait, is that flat Stanley? Are we talking metaphorical guts, here?

You do love me!

(it’s kinda like Morticia and Gomez. Isn’t it?…)

Or, just go with the Greek flow; at a very quick glance-through, I didn’t find that exact wording in my favorite translation of Lysistrata (“translator unknown” but rumored to be Oscar Wilde), but the sentiment is richly there! Not lame at all.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Said Russia to Ukraine.
