Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 24, 2012

Ben would be proud… you’re just stringing me along!

Fellow night kite fliers, unite! Throw off the yoke of oppression! Let those tails float free!

I like the black background. Easier on my eyes when I’m reading at Midnight.

Soaring to heights at night, just isn’t right.It isn’t polite to fly a kite without a light.

Re: TOM LEHRER – POISONING PIGEONS IN THE PARKMy greatest pleasure after darkis goosing statues in the Park.If Sherman’s horse can take it,So can you.Passengers will please refrainFrom flushing toilets while the trainIs in the station.Darling, I love you !

It’s just to much fun to put down.

RE Blog: turtles or tortoises?

Yellowcake? The mixture of uranium compounds extracted from raw ores? I’ve heard of self-rising cake batters, but self-cooking is a new one on me.

They don’t call me a Hanging Judge for nothing. Mandatory sentences? Bah! The maximum! Off with their heads; or, tails…. And where are your nightflight safety lights and FAA Kite Code identification numbers? —You’re in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

That baby must be a boy—totally astounded at his mom’s sign… So many visually stunning images today, Teresa!

Like that kite, I could use a little more tail.

re: BLOG (“C’était un rendez-vous”)

I spent my sophomore year in Paris and did not see as much of the city then as I did in nine minutes….thankfully, I was in my chair at my desk this morning and not with Claude Lelouch!

What else can one do with a glow-in-the-dark kite?

My personal favorite is Lehrer’s “Be Prepared.”

‘When you’re loking for adventure of a new and different kind,and you run into a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined,don’t be nervous, don’t be flustered, don’t be scared, Be Prepared.’

it’s the old dope peddler…with his powdered happiness…

I get high as a kite every night … is that legal? -Get well soon, DogSniff!!!!

COLORED PENCIL SHAVINGSWorks like one of those Magic Eye things, but I can’t figure out what the heck I see.

Guy’s just workin’ on his kite moves.

Re: WOMEN! USE YOUR VOTEHarpo Marx pictured moonlighting as a nanny.

Flying a kite? To much work!

Careful with the racket, choose with care which ball to hit, watch your follow through and avoid entangling delicate body parts in the net when trying to return a short volley.

Phenomenal blog entries today.

I post many of your offerings on Facebook. One of my friends pointed out that there’s a great “making of” short about the ‘Rendezvous’ film, in which Lelouch retraces his route 30 years later, terrifying a journalist at the same time.

Re: CLAUDE LELOUCH – C’ÉTAIT UN RENDEZ-VOUS (1976)The video is no longer available due to a copyright claim.There is a remake(?) C’était PAS un RENDEZ VOUS à PARIS / REMAKE de LELOUCH

One question; Is the woman driving?

@BillThompson: A hofkünstler would be a performer attached to a noble’s court-signifying that he’s not just anybody calling himself an actor-he’s got credentials and is a quality performer.

…what bellyfull eyes you have…

Thanks Pete. I actually had in the back of my demented mind a double parody that Prof. Lehrer did incorporating first, a rather risque version of M.O.T.H.E.R and then another risque version of Humoresque – which would definitely have the GoComic censors banning me , had I printed it. I chose Samburg because of the tie in with the Park. Thanks for the link. I had almost forgotten all of Samburg’s verses.

For whatever reason, Saturday’s FA hasn’t yet appeared here (at 1:00 AM CDT), although it does show in the FB “check here first” box. Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.
