Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 10, 2023

Ant larvae tastes surprisingly like scrambled eggs, and are a delicacy in some parts; but any time traveling aardvark can tell you that.

If the first helping was unsuccessful maybe you should try something else from tomorrow’s menu.

My fav: word soup

How about some of today’s live ants, in your pants, to give you the vim you need to succeed!

How about an order of unscrambled live—but very sick—ants from the past? (Hmm, if you eat ‘em now, does that mean they won’t be scrambled dead ants in the future? Time paradox?)

“… although I dread the pain of Formic Acid reflux redux — that sucks!”

Well then, you might as well finish them. Live like there’s no tomorrow.

For all the strange foods I enjoy, insects have remained off the menu, and will remain so ever after. http://theoldwolf.Com/ccdesan/Banquet/Banquet.html

…when Abdul found the clothes chest in his Paw-Paw’s basement it took him awhile to realize it was some kind of time machine from the future…

…he never understood how he could eat the same package of Nestle’s chocolate covered raisins…

…cheerfully called, Scrambled Ants…

…everytime he went into his elderly great grandson’s Confections Emporium…

…but he did…

…he loved the future…

…science was king…

…brave new discoveries were made every day…

…his family had come from war and hatred…

…leading them into a world the total opposite of what the future was…

…in the future of scrambled ants knowledge was practiced and praised the way his own Paw-Paw said it was my their ancestors in the note he left him in this chest…

…how was Abdul to know that he unwittingly unleased the hatreds forward into the future just my accidently leaving his shoe by the auto wreck…

…he worried even Scrambled Ants couldn’t save the day this time…

Scrambled Dead Ants From The Future would make a great band name.

Realizing nothing can help you is a sign you need to help others.

the live ones tickle your nose

Time for some formic acid remark.

He said stingingly.

Nor could they have ever done…

Just coat those future ants with chocolate or deep fry ‘em, and you’ll be fine no matter what comes your way.

Oh, I see what the problem is.

You needed the Scrabble Ants and the Tiles of the Dead, which can reveal the future.

Totally different thing.

forward thinking

They may not actually save you, but they’re still an important part of this complete breakfast. You can worry about saving yourself after you’ve had your coffee.

Add a little spice to your breakfast and have scrambled future fire ants!

D-any, D-ant, D-ant

Maybe if we color them green, put them through a strainer, and chop them a bit more , they’ll go down easier…..I hate when those legs get caught in my teeth!

Appearance of the scram Sam?

Looted is puns of ?

Eating dead ants is a sign that you’re over the hill …!

That boy is in a bad way. Oh, why didn’t he think to bring along his Depression-era roadkill collection?

I was hoping I could read a comic about scrambled dead ants from the future and it HAPPENED!

Myself, I like my ants over easy.

Ant farming futures are looking pretty grim these days. The smart money’s on bed bugs. Just saying.

It’s the information in their RNA. You just have no guarantee that it will be useful. Planaria have been shown to profit.

Antoine’s clairvoyance gift was noted by Government Officials, who enlisted him as consultant to the Alien Research Institute, as it attempted to control access through the Singularity in Cis-Lunar position above Atlanta.

The Zantis, a race of space-faring ants, were/ are/ will be offended by human treatment of our numerous ant populations, considered degenerated descendants of a long-ago colonization attempt.

Lucky it was, that Antoine would realize use of RAID and other insecticides were considered abominations, as Zanti funereal practice required purifying and eating their dead. Thus, he arranged to feast with the Zanti ambassador on a delicious array of dead-ant delicacies.

Add a little tobasco sauce, and it’ll be fine.

When I was in Australia, I discovered these tree ants there that are very edible, and though they are purported to taste lemony, I thought they tasted just like a sour apple Sweet-Tart. Just walk up to a tree and pluck the little suckers off the tree and in to your mouth. I couldn’t get enough of them! Though I will say that that was in the past, so I don’t know if they would be of assistance to your future problems.

Oh, don’t be such a worrywart, young man! If your first helping of futuristic scrambled ants didn’t get the job done, it’s likely a second wouldn’t help anyhow!

Don’t worry. Be happy. https://tinyurl.Com/cyqgkfk

I bet the first one didn’t do you any good either.
