Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 23, 2012

Must be thinking about about Akin of MO.

Sounds like one of my ex-wives.

Ah, the beautiful, cold, callous killer, already forging her defense! My Unconscious made me do it!

Re: FB—The ChicagoanThose fine ‘30s folk are of course adhering to the adage, “meet me under the clock,” referring to the landmark Marshall Field’s clock. See Field’s Fans, and be sure to cluck cluck on the darrid.com link!

And it’s out of the park. Natural causes wins in the bottom of the eleventh inning.

Not if I murder you first.

I’d prefer to go by la petite mort and she could start immediately.

Not your usual blue-hair.

Doubt if she’s a natural blue-hair.

Hope their legs don’t wear out from all the walking, though.Personally like a wiggle in their walk and a giggle in their talkMakes the world go round.!Ain’t nothing in the world like a big-eyed girl with a sexy walk!

She’d be dangerous if she got in better touch with herself.

@INGSOC

Being attracted to same may be hard on the wallet, though, as experienced by Linguist,and Big Macs and fries for the rest of your life.

O.K, if you don’t mind the cholesterol buildup.Also am fond of Chicken McNuggets and McApple Pies.Not to mention Egg McMuffins and McGriddles for breakfast!

She looks like 99 from Get Smart.

Re Girl Watchers guide: The illustrations are probably drawn by Eldon (?) Dedini, a featured New Yorker magazine cartoonist for many years.

I bow to whatever your unconscious verdict is. I’ll be at the midnight showing at the theater in Aurora.

Re: PRIDEFULIf I had that Bugatti, I’d willingly wear a woolen knicker suit, too.

Well…when the subconscious finds out, you’ll be in deep doo-doo!

Or to prevent a pregnancy.

Gee, I thought I was the only one. I usually spend most of my time at meetings thinking about how to dispose of the attendees who drag it out endlessly, wasting everyone’s time in the process.

Anyone else thinks this looks like Flo from Progressive?

RE Nagasaki, Japan. That’s an incredible picture. Aprox 40,000 people were killed in the initial blast in Nagasaki. But even more died from after effects. The Pictures they didn’t want you to see

“All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”

— Clarence Darrow

Some people are like slinkies; not good for much, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.-Unknown

In 1943, Richard James, a naval mechanical engineer stationed at the William Cramp and Sons shipyards in Philadelphia, was developing springs that could support and stabilize sensitive instruments aboard ships in rough seas. James accidentally knocked one of the springs from a shelf, and watched as the spring “stepped” in a series of banana splits, to a stack of books, to a tabletop, to the floor, where it re-coiled itself and stood upright. James’ wife Betty later recalled, “He came home and said, ’I think if I got the right property of steel and the right tension; I could make it walk.” James experimented with different types of steel wire over the next year, and finally found a spring that would walk. Betty was dubious at first, but changed her mind after the toy was fine-tuned and neighborhood children expressed an excited interest in it.4 She dubbed the toy Slinky (meaning “sleek and graceful”), after finding the word in a dictionary,34 and deciding that the word aptly described the sound of a metal spring expanding and collapsing.

It’s a shame Ted Cassidy died so young.

I would like to go on record as saying I always liked Hydrox cookies better than Oreos when I was a kid.

Who are you calling a homo you, you, you … cartoonist!

Re: “Hofkunstler Fleiger Schremser” am der Uberbloggensite:

This is the front half of a postcard that was printed as an advertisement by a German entertainer. As best I can tell by referring to my German-English dictionary, the title means “Field-Artist Aviator Schremser.” Just a guess, but Schremser is the tall one.

The back side of the card can be found here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/drakegoodman/5679484333/

with this translation of the message:

Chimay, den 3.VII.17 (3 July 1917)

“My dear ones,“You will have received my postcards and letters from yesterday. Yesterday we were brought to the cinema where Aviator Schremser performed wonderful stuff for us. That’s all nice and good, but more than ever homesickness is eating up my heart. Please be so kind and send me a few postcards of Hagenau. “Home I’d like to go again” [German song]. Regards, your Fritz, musketeer."

The translator believes that the card was written by a soldier recovering from his wounds.

Get to the back of the line sister!
