Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 05, 2012

The chicken fried steak clogged Buck’s arteries, and there was no Liquid Plumr to be found…

For her, it was The Night of the Iguana.

I’m excited to see Barticle35’s latest novella being featured on the blog!

However, now that you all know his name, I fear you will stalk him!

Teresa,Thou art most kind to feature my books on thy blog. I truly thanketh thee.

I have also been having problems with Google, specifically Adwords. I think their tech staff is actually trying to help, but the system is so complex they can’t get a handle on it.

PS, stalk away. I probly don’t smell that great anyway.

I’m not especially fond of chicken-fried steak. I’m not Buck Owens, either. I’m alive!

I Googled “Frog Applause” and got over 1,700,000 hits. Most of them taking me to the blog or strip.

I Googled Frog Blog and Teresa’s blog came up several times but mixed in with over 37,000,000 hits for other Frog Blogs.

^^“A” FOR ANDROIDS THEY STUDIED IN 16TH CENTRY.

I never felt how truly strange a Mobius strip type construction is until I saw the ball roll around it.

I prefer his first meal.

And his heart skipped a beat.

Now I want chicken fried steak.

Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Grandpa Jones.Banjos, fiddles, mandolins.

Great pickin’ and a grinnin".You and the gang are greatly missed, buckaroo.

It’s true: Sigourney Weaver succumbed.

Re: BlogFinally, a genuine portrait any family could be proud of, one we can all relate to, as we universally share the need to use the crapper daily.Teresa, you’re a uniter, not a divider.

Translation fun with Frog Applause.

Teresa in case you didn’t see this comment before. I had to move a blog for the exact same reason: Blogger owned a file like robots.txt and suddenly made my blog un-indexable and refused to undo the change. I migrated to Wordpress on a domain of my own and have not been sorry. There are migration tools to do it: the tool copies every post and comment over to wordpress format. All I had to do was pick a happy theme & layout. Happiness and total control ever since.

There has been a miscarriage of justice in Thomas Crapper being credited with the invention of the crapper., which bears his name.Seated toilets with drainage systems date back to 2500 B.C., and languished without embellishment until 1738 when flush models were developed by Sir John Harington, and improved upon by Alex Cummins and J.F. Blonder.Thomas Crapper was an English plumber in the 1800’s who held 9 patents for plumbing products, but his name stuck to the crapper somehow, prompting the end of the use of the surname Crapper by descendents who didn’t wish to be associated with this utilitarian device.Thought it important to share this info with fellow FA readers, as strongly believe credit should be given where credit is due.Apparently, the buck has been passed (along with a lot of crap) for the last 4500 years on who was actually responsible for starting this, and only Thomas Crapper had the fortitude to take the fall for the invention of indoor plumbing, which we all now enjoy on a daily basis and take for granted.Hope this may serve as a source for contemplation during next use of the crapper.Keep a can of spray Glade nearby while doing my own contemplations, and recommend it to others as a way to dispel unpleasant aromas.

It was his favorite meal. So he died happy. _

One of my favorite local diners has a great chicken fried steak breakfast. It’s been on Guy Fieri’s show for what that’s worth.

The last meal of Buck Owenswas a chicken-fried steakthe wind started blowingthere was storm on the lake

Then up rode a cowboyin leather and blacksaying: your time is all up nowlet go off that snack

No time for an encorethe hour is lateso they got on his Harleyand rode to heaven’s gate.

Wanda Jackson … the Queen of Rock-a-billy!!! -Those were the days … when the blues and country music had a baby and they named it Rock-and-Roll !!!

Then SHOOT ME!!! SHOOT ME TWICE or maybe THRICE!!! I liked Buck Owens.

He wasn’t exactaly poor when he died. And he STILL has more talent than most "country " singers(?) today.

Lego Tards? That sounds pretty disrespectful to me.

@beviek

Thanks for the memories, guy.That song was always one of my favorites. Cigareetes had been given up for 15 years, but returned in earnest as things have unfolded in this election year. Will never be able to give ‘em up again if Obama isn’t given another 4 years..Prefer rum to whiskey these days ,as it’s got just the kick needed, and can’t travel to Tennessee for some real corn liquor, so rum it is.View wild, wild women in my dreams.Gospel Quartets, Stringbean,Marianne Rogers, oh yeah! Those were the days,my friend. We thought they’d never end.Hee Haw!

@weeksfive

Thanks for that correction.Will try to remember this if ever sending other posts her way.Love her choice of an avatar.Also for the song, even though it’ll be running thru my head for the rest of the night.

@beviek

Thanks for your post of forgiveness to me for my mistaking you to be a guy.Personally, have great fondness for all those of the gentler sex. Love all for their gentleness.Yes, thanks also for your wish to be able to quit puffing, as it’s no good healthwise, and ruining me financially,.Will never be able to quit if receiving the wrong election results in November, and will die broke and P.O’d.What a way to go!Had hoped for a better fate!Have had a few canines n my time, and love all of that species, tho must do without their company, as live in an apartment, and on a fixed income. Please pray for me.Love your avatar, and glad for you to have had company of same!Best wishes, love.

@beviek

Song is still running thru my head.Another sleepless night!

@beviek

Will remain awake for the rest of the night, as it’s it’s now time for CoasttoCoastAM, my other link to retaining sanity.Cigareetes and whiskey will be running thru my head during commercial breaks!Love ya,honestly!

@beviek
