Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 04, 2011

Don’t trust them chicken, keep on a runnin’!

I would never make a promise to a chicken that I had no intention whatsoever of keeping! In fact,I would never make a promise to a chicken.Faceless, mouthless, how do you speak [In cartoon balloons, sir!], how do you eat chicken?Broiled, grilled, fried, roasted….

We have three hens in our backyard. Their names are (not kidding) Brolie, Grizzelda and Frita. If we get another one, we’ll call her Barbie…

@x_tech: supposed to be, all of them. If they don’t start soon (they’re just over 6 months old) they will live up to their names…

Those resonator guitars, open-tuned and played with a slider, make a duffer sound like a pro…

Catching up on the blog- thanks for the dog food ad. In my industry, the software product is “dog food”, and using your own software is called ‘eating your own dog food’. This ad goes to work, baby.

Of course, if this is rerun fun, then they already HAVE eaten the chicken’s family again…right?

Love the resonator guitars…

So many guitars, so few who can actually make music.But then, there are thousands more fishing rods in drug stores than there are fish out there. And guns?

One thing about guitars: if you really put in the time on task, you can do it, make the music, and some enjoy and nobody gets hurt.

I did have a guy put a .25 caliber bullet hole in my guitar once, though. But it wasn’t because I played bad, even then…it was because HE played bad. Banjo. Most of the guys in SF liked my guitar…most of them.

If I had a hen,

I’d name her Ann Boleyn.

(Another free poem from the freest of poets.)

Does that Halloween rabbit look like Bert Lahr to anyone else?

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

If you come back chicken, we ‘ll name you. We’ll call you Stew.

Fred Flintstone and Tweetybird were a hoot! I also liked Linus occupying the pumpkin patch.

Eggs-cellent strip, Teresaaaaa…..

I am a sushi Philistine… I mix the wasabi into the soy sauce.

@Marg: I do the same… I like it that way.

Thank you, 3hour! I can always depend on you for a perspicacious explanation of the whimsy in Teresa’s strips!
