Comments appear not to be registering, but I’m chiming in to say that I read Frog Applause, even when there’s no Frog Applause to be read. 9 out of 10 voices in my head agree.
I will look high and low for my daily dose of FA! Found it! and a bonus (’this comic not work") comic for my reward! Always something old become new in the Blog! Tanks mulch, Teresa!
The intro is Portuguese, but the song (provided by Raidue, Italy’s “channel 2”) is in Italian. “Datemi un martello” means “Gimme a hammer,” and she sings “I want to smack anyone I don’t like in the head.”
The Rita Pavone hammer song was based on Pete Seeger’s If I Had A Hammer. The Italian version of Wikipedia says Sergio Bardotti rewrote the lyrics to bowdlerise any political references and make it a ‘sweet’ pop song for adolescents.One of the verses: Datemi un martello Che cosa ne vuoi fare Lo voglio dar in testa A chi non mi va A tutti le coppie Che stano apiccicati Che vogliono le luce spente E le canzone lente Che noia mi daGive me a hammer What’re you going to do about it? I want to swing it at the head Of people who piss me off Such as all the couples Canoodling like pigeons Who want the lights turned down And slow songs What a drag that is.(my translation)
And I thought there wasn’t a FA for Sunday! Just now first learned of it by way of FB! —And it’s so charming a combination of science fiction and anthropology, two of my favorite pursuits!
And, BTW, was there a Monday, 1 August 2011, FA? —Because I’m not finding it anywhere: the calendar and arrows go from 31 VII to 2 VIII with just a dead date in between. I know the GoComics servers were experiencing some hinkiness over the weekend (so what else is new?); maybe that’s what skunked you, Teresa….

Maybe if all of us boycott GoComics , they will sit up and take notice or maybe they want to get rid of us ??

Though I never have much to say
I check FA several times a day
It’s a wealth of wisdom and fun filled fact
It is a pity gocomics can’t get together it’s act
I find Teresa to be funny, intelligent and hot
Though Vlad may not like me voicing that thought
So hang in there froggy, though it may be rough
’cause many of us cannot get enough.

Wow, that law against teacher-student Facebook contact is incredibly stupid.
