Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 20, 2010

That often happens with boys your age…

Your tree had to mature first before your nuts could be of any use.

Did somebody say “nuts?”

Might even take a few more years for some growers….

And if they didn’t fall properly, they won’t be much good. Were you, by any chance a DES baby?

I am a huge fan of Edward Gorey and am buying new editions of his works as they become available. I hope those FB animations aren’t in violation of copyright.

Sure glad that armed forces dude didn’t say “Nutlets” to the German telling his men to surrender.

Pacejv, can you possibly imagine a US soldier saying “Nuts!”? That’s just what the US newspapers could print. My uncle told me that he really said “bleeep”.

“According to an article in the Daily Mail the reply was not “Nuts” but a four letter expletive that was changed for propaganda purposes for domestic consumption.”

You seem to be a unique kind of kid.

Today’s Fusco Brothers has sort of a related subject.

That appears to be a harness-ready BVM over at the blog.

Where’s my archery set?

I think that was one of the hidden jokes of the Peanuts cartoons.

But it only took him one year to go nuts.

well, what WAS the 4 letter expletive that was really used at Bastogne? ? in the context of a disdainful and disrespectful reply to an opponent’s offer for you to surrender, sh.. would seem the likely answer, although bullsh… would seem more appropriate… fuc.. , while filling the bill for a four letter expletive, doesn’t really reply to the surrender offer

so..?

What I want to know is, how did you happen to run across the Nutgrowers “Proceedings” from 1952?

Gratifying that he didn’t take caa caa or doo doo from the Kraut. (Sorry for the clean language–otherwise I always get bleeped!)

Ah, good old (and deceased) Jan Sterling - I remember her best in “The High And The Mighty”. She had an Academy Award nomination for that one…

Robert Mitchum ironing , as I recall, is from “His Kind Of Woman”, with Jane Russell (they were also paired in “Macao”, which I thought a better movie - or at least more enjoyable to me).

T., I see that you’ve been looking at ‘The People of Wal-Mart’ pix….

My God! I just read my comment and was reminded of JAD! Forgive me, please!
