Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 10, 2012

Are you sure that big old butterfly isn’t beaming weird messages into your little head?

I can only imagine. Fric and Frac.

I don’t know, but she’s a pistil!

I dog ear my own books all the time, thank you very much. What do you think of used book art? For example, http://inspirationgreen.com/art-from-old-books.html

I bet google searches spiked for bric-a-brac. You always expand your vocabulary reading FA.

You know, of course, that this is Ms. Mary Mack—her black dress is at the cleaner and will be right back-back-back…

With silver buttons down her back.

It’s apparently parted her sepal and anthers and initiated entry into her receptacle.

I always called them chotchkies but that’s harder to rhyme.

Re: ARTWORK OF FAMOUS WRITERSI loved G.B.Shaw’s sketch and actually laughed out loud.e.e.cummings drawing is brilliant in its fluidity. Sylvia Plath’s self-portrait sadly foreshadows her suicide.Thanks Teresa, great collection.

That’s not spit. Guess again.

pictures or it didn’t happen

give him no slack; a whack across his crack

on the codes……those are just three ways to display Morse Code. They’re all the samebut you knew that, of course

re blog:It is BALLOON!It’s still the first thing I think of when I see one most of the time.

Emergency tiaras should be much more common. Is that Vlad calendar an ISO standard calendar?In international standard ISO-8601 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has decreed that Monday shall be the first day of the week.

Bric-a-brac is good for nothing but ransacking.

You’re right—you can’t spell: “Banned” And by the way—I agree with you.

Have you heard the way ten year olds (and probably younger) speak to eachother?

but we don’t care if he can spell: }he likes bunnies

So don’t lick my tic-tac!

Re: FB – I think the "William Stang’ drawing is by William Strang — wonderful artist!

re:codes. i was a little confused by the first one because the letters and numbers didn’t look right to me. for instance the letter o should be three dashes but is instead a dot double pause and a dot. the q in the first one is dit dit dah dit, in morse it is dah dah dit dah. well when i googled morse i found that the first is american and the other two are international. i would copy what i found, but i guess simple ctrl c/ctrl v doesn’t work here
