Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 09, 2012

Makes perfect sense to me.

Beviek

They are emeralds. :-)

Does the yellow jacket soup give one a buzz?

It makes sense, but by the time she’s close enough to smell a man’s armpits, it’s probably too late to do her any good.

And who exactly funded this study??

Women have always had a better sense of smell than men. Now we know why.

I don’t think I’ve ever sniffed any infected armpits, but I DO find the aroma of FRESH perspiration a bit of a turn on – must be the pheremones.

I wonder if Ana Bagayan believes herself to be a contactee? That sure does like the kind of art a contactee might create.

The only surprise here is that some science buffs seem to have been surprised at the result. Must be that some rate “smell” as a lesser among the senses. Such foolishness!

I can picture Vlad, laying there with his feminine hygiene products and his citronella candle whilst playing with his boomerang. He was probably remembering what happened to him last time.

Sigh…another thing thing to worry about. Life seems so complicated since I started reading Frog Applause

Hmmm, could I smell number 3 again.

Speaking of numbers, where is number 6.

eau d’ STD?

Correlation does not mean causation.

An epiphany!

Gonorrhea by any other name would be easier to spell. Do you suppose that’s why they call it clap when you contract it?

suffering succotash…

So its agreed then? … not bathing gives a man gonorrhea?

Interesting that there’s a cat up there in the comic. The female cats we’ve had are usually very partial to my armpit smell. They’ll pull my shirts out of the dirty clothes and huff the armpits. If only it worked as well on women.Oh, and occasionally a male cat will be fascinated with the smell if my running shoes, though not to the extent the females are with shirts. Though I did bury a running shoe with one of our males because he liked it so much. Appropriately, it was a Brooks Cheetah (a running shoe from long, long ago).

Perspiration beats the smell of Old Spice.

Can’t really explain it, but the Nancy panel on the blog caused me to laugh so hard my pants fell down.

It is amazing what modern scientific research can discover! Gonorrhea makes one smell putrid! Who woulda thunk it?

Love the fly playing the bongos!

Don’t agree about that…when I’ve had to be out and about sometimes for even days…without a shower…take that, city pukes…women usually seek me out when I show up in civilization…strange coffee house, restaurant, quick biz meet.

I DO think there’s a LOT to be said for pheromones. And not much to be said for soap that puts dirt(‘scent’) back on your skin. Why smell like cheap chemicals out of an artificial perfume test tube?

My guess is guys who are having trouble getting women ought to bathe less often and give it a try.

Blog:“I have plenty of tools that I use to create Frog Applause. This is one of my favorite methods.”Obviously.Just kidding, Vlad. Wouldn’t want to affect randomness.

Re: The Blog -That shot from the period when Kennedy was assasinated brought back the memories of the “Big Hair” that was popular back then.

Wow! It’s been a long time!

Wow!!! Three of my favorite fantasy women in my morning scroll through the blog…Jane Birkin, Catherine Deneuve and Charlotte Rampling. Be still my heart.

We have PECKERWOODs in Arkansas, but we name LAKES after them, stock them with bass, crappie, catfish, walleye, etc., and let the pluralistic* multicultural* nondenominational* fun begin!

* I’ve heard the term “peckerwood” used in parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma most of my life, and never have I sensed any racial overtones. Mainly I’ve heard it used by … shall we say less educated citizens in reference to what they considered to be the great unwashed.

P.S. Is it noon yet? (my palms are getting sweaty)

Someone let Uri Geller loose on Frog Blog. Those utensils are ruined!

If I am stoned and whipped to death later today, remember me kindly.

Does A Scented Flower have to die both by stoning

and by whipping

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OokCkaNP5-s

or is a choice involved?

A death by any other name would sting just the same.

I just want to smell A_Scented_Flower once before Vlad does the deed. Too soon. Too soon.

The deodorant cartel will suppress this.

What I’m taking from some of the discussion of today’s comic is “Don’t Axe, don’t tell.”

Has anyone seen A Scented Flower today?

I wonder if this test would work in France?

…i like buns.

phew! I have a big day planned for tomorrow…sorry ASF

OMG, I’m glad I wasn’t singled out for death by stoning/whipping. I just found a new job today, I’m pretty sure. I needed one,

I can just see the execution performed by Vlad right now, “You must die by get stoned, here smoke!”

I can see why Alaska Airlines dropped the cards. “Honey, why are they still flying Constellations and DC-4s? Is that why the airline wants divine intervention?”

If she can smell his armpits, he’s got her where he wants her..

Re: the higher the hair- it’s Pokey, Wedgy, and Droopy, right?

You could ask your neighbor what HE knows about it.

Don’t take the time to sniff me, because I really stink..!You’ve been preaching the virtues of hygiene for far too long for me to believe this claim.

and @SwimsWithSharks______________________This little interchange regarding personal odours is getting a little unsettling. I’m sure both your odours are perfeclty tasteful, however just imagine if someone NOT so savoury got hold of your e-mail addresses and transmitted…(well, I’ll leave it to your imaginations).

However I can see a fun side to it, namely letting a politician know just what you thought of him / her.

@non-posting of FA: Pibgorn seems to be in the same condition, and he’s doing re-runs.

For a dead person you sure post a lot (insert obnoxious smiley face punctuation-based emoticon that is supposed to demonstrate you’re only kidding and not serious, HERE)

Dang! Missed the announcement. I was actually working and did not check back on the Blog. Gadzooks!

@A Scented Flower -Sorry to hear of your demise.

to send you my lovely scent from my computer to yours, through the internet..I’m keeping hope alive for this.
