Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 07, 2011

Now there’s a thought!

He needs to think it thru a little more.

That’s one way to be canonized.

That would be a mess. I want mine donated to a cadaver farm.

George Carlin said he wanted to be blown up, but it didn’t happen.

I want to be cremated so my ashes will mingle with the grate.

Actually I want to be donated to a med school so they can cut me, sew me, cut me, sew me. Better my corpse than your kids living body.

Redd Foxx said he wasn’t making any plans. “It’ll get stinky & they’ll do something with it.”

Classic Rotifer - August 31, 2010

For sjenert-timene2. Jeg rettferdig ELSKE kvalitet katt (og jeg elske du også!)

Stolpe Skriften: Glade rahmaling!

Must’ve been Evel Knievel.

Alye’s parents are falling down on their job of giving her her basic sense of self-esteem. I know the 8th grade is a time of life when we’re especially sensitive to our peers, but a young girl as appealing as Alye should certainly have a good basic sense of self-worth by then.

But her parents’ failure is nothing compared to those of the bullies’. Habitual bullies have self-esteem issues, too, severe ones, and act them out in cruelty perpetrated on others. In what kind of household is this behavior accepted or condoned?

/dismounting now from my high horse

re blog… that girls vs boys thing is very very cute !.. and true.

If I were to die I would like my ashes strewn about our garden, but I plan on breaking the cycle of death as being inevitable.

My life is what it is because of daily whiskey intake as well.

@coltish1 Alye’s parents could be doing the very best they know how; incessant bullying can transcend all home support, and I know whereof I speak. Not every kid grows up with Ward and June Cleaver.

That illusion featured prominently in the movie “Temple Grandin,” which I recommend without qualifications. An amazing story of what sheer tenacity can do in the face of astonishing obstacles.

I think the Russians did that once when they captured a Polish pretender to the throne. They stuffed him in a cannon and shot him in the general direction of Poland. Don’t remember if he was dead or alive when they lit the fuse. Ahh the good old days!

flying over a row of houses…… it’s the journey, not the destination

Isn’t that what Johnney Depp did to Hunter S. thompson’s ashes in Aspen?

Burial? No, thank you. Pushing up daisy is too much work when you’re dead.

@coyote2280 - yes, scattered from a large cannon.

RE: Mein Vater ist ein Appenzeller

The lyrics: (and translation)

Mein Vater ist ein Appenzeller Er frißt den Käs mitsamt dem Teller.

My father is from Appenzell he eats the cheese and the plate underneath

Mein Bruder ist ein Kupferschmied Und was der sieht, das nimmt er mit.

My brother is a coppersmith who picks up everything he sees

Meine Schwester ist ‘ne noble Dam’ Hat sieben Kinder, doch kein’ Mann

My sister is a noble lady seven children but no man

People make fun of yodelers, but to be that good at it takes a lot of skill and talent.

I don’t think it’s an issue of skill and talent, but that yodeling is not a pleasant sound to many people even when done by an expert.. On the other hand, bagpipes and violins make sounds that are very pleasant to many people, but very unpleasant when not well-played. So poor violin players and bagpipe players do get made fun of for their lack of talent.

Teresa, I think you need to keep Vlad on a shorter leash:

Well, welcome back, Frog Applause, I think.

Teresa, you must have seen the anniversary of the introduction of Swanson’s pioneering TV dinner. I believe they came out the first week of April, 1953. What they lacked in flavor and freshness they made up for by forming a new low point in our TV culture.

One of the first principles in data processing says that if everything seems to be going all right, then you have obviously overlooked something.

I guess this must apply with Gocomis. It never missed a beat uploading your reruns, Ms T.

BTW, I really appreciated it that you thought enough of your loyal readers to provide those re-runs during your hiatus! That was most thoughtful.

@Flight Suit: I expected a comment about the monster on the blog today. what happened?

@ Flight suit :

I saw the comment that you linked. That is hysterical!

I am very pleased to see that the reruns have run their course. I fear that Classic Rotifer was about to head into lasagna territory, and I dreaded the thought of reliving those awful times.

P.S. GoComics stole my avatar. Looks like they got Allen’s and Alan’s and Marg’s and others too.
