Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 26, 2010

Love it.

I’m very, very scared x 4.

Just exactly verys that monster? (Think about it, if you have to….)

I’m very big, I’m Conan!

I can live with that.

I was going to use “varies”, but Sisyphos yours is vey worse than mine. To quote Ms M “Oy!”

No monsters were harmed in the BP spill.

Then I shall have to use a very pistol to protect myself.

I like Avery.

“Vere Volf.”

“There Volf. There Castle.”

“Vy are you talking like that?”

“I don’t know–you started it.”

Should that be “veries?” “When pluralizing a noun ending in y preceded by a consonant, change the y to i and add es.” Sister Mary Margaret. (No relation to Merry Margueritem, I should think.) Wait…”very” is not a noun, it’s an adverb! How do you pluralize an adverb? Not even Strunk and White have the answer to this one. How will any of us be able to sleep tonight?

On the blog: The “Beautiful” picture is great.

For the space fans: The Shuttle just passed overhead…the booms were so loud it nearly knocked me off my chair. This is probably the last flight for Atlantis.

Rayc I think the plural should be verys.

well, you have verys and you have veries It just varies

I agree, Ray C. Beautiful is beautiful. http://tinyurl.com/239yo3u

“Verys” appears once. “Very” appears 4 times.

I agree, also, Ray C & flyingflowerpot, “Beautiful” is beautiful, but also sad…I knew a child like that once upon a time, and visited many times at UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco (inoperable brain tumor). Don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but it’s so depressing, and at the same time so amazing, to see how brave and strong those small children really are…

(Would also like to say how much I admire the medical staff there and in like places - they are also amazing - I could never do it.)

I’m very sure I don’t have a clue!

Yea, verily!

In her count, it looks like Ms. Burritt forgot to count the one in the lower right corner. After all, isn’t “verys” in today’s FA?

“Beautiful’ is just that. I love her spirit.

VERY Funny (NOT)

PERSPICACIOUS Comment, dapperDUD61. (NOT)

Bad Vlad knows what to do with bad monsters like you: http://tinyurl.com/2ulqfph

Why do some regular gocomics readers (such as locoowl) still have no avatar pic?

There’s no such thing as monsters. They’re a very tale.

The size of that monster varies.
