Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 13, 2011

And what else could a red blooded man desire, I ask you?

Mmm, orzo al formaggio. Delizioso!

What about after you finish eating your cheesy orzo? What then?

Giouvetsi me ouzo, sas parakalo!

soggy rice no tastes nice.

You can’t have your Orzo and eat it, too…

You’re having a good day today, Dog. Keep it up.

“Sucking in the 1980s”…To my great mortification, the guy is wearing a Detroit Pistons sweatshirt. Well, there’s one bright spot. He was wearing a mullet before mullets were cool.

little girlshave pretty curlsbut i like steaming bowls of cheesy orzo.

Too bad! Chorizo would go well with cheesy orzo!

After I finish my cheesy orzo, I am goimg to look for a young lady who is ignorant and unwary.

Utrecht Goitre photographs illustrate goiter, but also illustrate other diseases and conditions unrelated to iodine deficiency. There’s one I would guess to be leprosy (Hansen’s disease).

Will somebody please teach the poor guy to fish!! … .☻.Number Six; your alter-ego is in the blog!! bcnu ☺

1908 might just as well be 2011. The poor we will have always with us…

“Legs” might just as well be an animated version of the old cartoon, “How a John Held girl crosses her legs.” John Held, Jr.

ottod, I actually read it as chorizo at first so it was nice to see your comment.After yesterday’s mention of Monarch Butterflies, here’s a shot I took this year that happened to catch three stages of monarch life — chrysalis is the missing one.See next post for more — got to where the comment box wouldn’t expand any more.

If you know what you’re looking for, you can see them in the shot above, but assuming I didn’t make a typo in the HTML, clicking it should go to a large version where you can easily see all three. The butterfly itself is quite obvious. There’s also a tiny caterpillar under the leaf that goes up and to the right from the bottom center. And there’s a white egg on the unopened buds below the adult butterfly. Oh, and the plant is one of the swamp milkweeds we grow in the yard for monarchs.

My brother isn’t as cool as the guy in the video. You can take that any way you like.

Great photo, Larry. It’s fascinating that monarchs can feed at a number of different plants, but their caterpillars can eat only milkweed. The adult goes through an intricate process to make sure it’s milkweed before she lays. There is much more interesting stuff about monarchs. Google it and prepare to spend some time.

Orzo rule him, now that’s just cheesy.

Yes, the masses have long been sedated with all things cheesy. It is actually the Dairy Board that rules the world.The Big Cheese bends your will with a warm gooey hammerand makes you smile about it as you say “Cheese”.

Is the Rifle Girl wearing special shoes or is she standing on some sort of instructional aid?And speaking of shoes, I have never seen a zebra wear red shoes before.

You will never see this because I am so late, but quart orzo. is hugely funny!
