    …this little ditty was originally a Froglandia jump rope jingle…

    …back when girls…

    ….(and Fred)…

    …were allowed to jump rope during recess…

    …too bad the Nixon administration put an end to it…

    …called not only the ditty …

    …but even the jump roping, itself, antiwar…

    … in truth…

    …it really was when it was started back in the war to end all wars…

    …you hear it, now, don’t cha?…

    …the Beatles’, ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ …

    ….was supposedly based on this very jump rope riff…

    …from The History of Froglandia- You Couldn’t Make This Stuff Up Vol. IV. …

    I saw a lot of figs in Morocco. They were on plates, not steps.

    Watch out for those dropping figs ! Squishing under foot! Ew

    Two figs are too many …!

    ( p.s. I live in an area that used to be a fig orchard )

    ( p.p.s. It took years for the sprouts to stop popping up )

    As instructed, I went through the events of the previous day, step by step, leaving out no details. But I carefully left out any personal information that could be used to emulate “psychic” awareness. I was quite nearly certain that the “cure” would be one requiring a moderate payment from myself, and a round of rituals, such as “smudging” with sage to drive off evil spirits, burning anointed candles or placing seven herbs and splices into a sachet, or perhaps a bucket of chicken. Or maybe it would be the heart of a mouse and claw of a lizard, with a bit of graveyard soil, that I would have to wear as a necklace pendant. I loved the inventive and imaginative means of fleecing the ignorant that sprang from the minds of the garden variety psychic practitioner. They were all so incredibly involved and pointless, lending them the authority of being outside the realm of random nonsense.

    For the love of all that’s holy! Don’t step on a fig! Figs when squashed can be very slippery, and you might fall and bust your caboose! Also, figs are good for eating (unsquashed)! Let’s get real here; what do think this is, some lame cartoon strip?

    Da Blog:

    Just checked out “Bob the Angry Flower” by Stephen Notley & have a question for Steve: Since you are a Canadian trans*plant* (snerk) living in Seattle, how does Bob feel about the hammer-wielding illegal Canadian transplant now stuck in San Francisco …?

    ( too soon? )
