Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 21, 2012

I’m having trouble reading the name behind the quote. Contrast isn’t enough.

I can’t argue with heavy-duty pop-philosophy at 2:15 AM. But I don’t feel ugly; I feel pretty, and witty,,,,

“My World and Welcome to It” is wonderfully psychedelic. As for those Ukrainians, it’s really cute that they think TV producers from Hollywood, the UK, and Japan would notice them long enough to want to perform experiments on their children.

Uniquely Vlad?

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone.” — Minnie Pearl

re: SEAMUS THE DOG… think the sound of the harmonica really bothers him… after the recent Colorado abandoned dog story, hope this isn’t the case…

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”

Dorothy Parker

Thurber once wrote about his grandmother that if she saw a bulb socket in the house that was empty that she’d insist that a bulb be placed in it before the electricity spilled out into the house. (the Thurber Carnival by James Thurber). My World and Welcome To It celebrated the writing of James Thurber.

Nothing in this world is unalloyed. This perceptive quotation makes me dwell once again on questions in the realm of aesthetics: would rare single malt Scotches be as admired without the vast population of pedestrian, mass-produced blended whiskies out there? Would Shakespeare be as revered if “Love Boat” and “Gilligan’s Island” hadn’t existed?

Is it me or does anyone else see that Teresa’s drawing looks like Vlad ?

“All women are beautiful.” Robert Heinlein, “Stranger in a Strange Land”

thats why I stick with the saying…..BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT!!

♥TERESA CALLS OUT LARRY: A BLOG LIKE WHAT, LARRY?!?Like anything, really. It was a comment on the graph they “helpfully” supplied which included the possibility of indexing a negative number of times/pages. Impossible.

TREE VS CARLooks like that tree won at least one other battle with a car.

" Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate ? "

Germaine Greer " The Female Eunuch"

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. Isaac Asimov, Salvor Hardin in “Foundation”

Beauty and the Beast…

The Point Of Sale Display in the blog reminds me of an incident in Dorothy L. Sayers’ “Murder Must Advertise”. An innocent headline and an innocent illustration were separately approved by the client, but when put together…wow!
