Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 27, 2012

Wish I had time to look it up, I could use a good giggle!

Regarding Godzilla under an umbrella…

I’m 90% sure that’s the Gyakushu Goji suit, so named because it appeared in the 1955 film, “Gojira no Gyakushū.”

Literally translated, the title is “Godzilla’s Counterattack,” but the film’s English language title was “Godzilla Raids Again,” or, in the US, “Gigantis the Fire Monster.”

lustful desire

I don’t speak words, I act them.

Funny! … and good to see you back, Dogsniff!

According to some theologians, concupiscience of one’s own wife is considered sinful. It is to be noted that said theologians are not now, nor ever shall be married. Sour grapes, thinks I.

My dear young lady, are you harboring concupiscent thoughts? If so, please share them with us all!

Regarding that Godzilla-with-umbrella pic, I was quite mistaken! Japanese sci-fi historian August Ragone tells me the Godzilla suit in the photograph is from the original 1954 movie. August writes, “This was actually from a gag PR photo op for magazines heralding the forthcoming release of the original GODZILLA in 1954. This is the very same suit used in the film. The girl is Momoko Kochi, who starred as Emiko Yamane.”

When you think about it, sex is only dirty when it’s done right.

Concupiscent isn’t really bad unless it’s abbreviated.

As long as she doesn’t lisp.

Today’s strip is very concupiscent.

Are you going to make me look up stuff again.

Some days FA is the only place I learn anything. What an education! Thank you Teresa

I believe I recognize Chumley, the walrus friend of Tennessee Tuxedo, on the Frosty-O’s box. Tennessee was, of course, voiced by the distinctive Don Adams of “Get Smart” fame. Who voiced Chumley? I’ll leave that to others.

Who needs a mongoose when you’ve got a honey badger? (I accept no responsibility for this. She started it.)

Methinks that TMI was passed here today…

Concupiscent with a concubine in Connecticutt.

Love to learn new words and their meaning and laugh at the same time.

I’m waiting for Romney to use concupiscent of Newtria the Sex Machine.

Re: "To retain is sometimes as difficult as to acquire” Reminds me of Eric Hoffer’s: building v. maintenance. To wit: our crumbling infrastructure…

quaerere

The ‘o’ spelling has a tad too much vowel shift, I think – a sudden acceleration, maybe? A bit liberal on the translation too, perhaps.

It’s only wrong if you make it wrong.

Re blog: Ooh, an invite to Vlad’s comic strip debut. Bloody good!

Concupi..what?

The only one who uses that word casually is the emperor of ice cream.
