Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 24, 2013

I agree, those kinds of things should happen much later in the day after significant alcoholic reinforcement.

The gent in the carrot-juice ad looks like he needs the carrot as a nose more than he needs it as a juice ingredient. If you’re going to make a lateral move from “snowman” to “model,” make sure you collect all your belongings!

Pitchfork mobs are always best at night due to the tar torches they carry.

It is never too early to start drinking your own urine!

Catullus alleged that urine, as used by the Celtiberians, whitened the teeth, inpoem 39

Did they happen to say WHEN Grace would be returning?

No feathered headdress?Stay away from Las Vegas.

Carrot Pop?Mmmm…!

Yes, but it’s five o’clock somewhere, isn’t it?

I say pop too, but rarely have to since I never drink the stuff.

Considering my choice of beverages, my urine has probably got a fairly high alcohol content.

I married a girl from Wisconsin (we live in Colorado now", and she calls soft drinks “pop,” while I usually still refer to it as “soda.” To avoid disagreements, I usually call it by its more specific name: ginger ale, Dr. Pepper, or Sierra Mist.

Go back to bed, Smug Guy in Reflective Sunglasses, and save your shenanigans for after dark….

It never mattered to me WHAT to call it. In my teens I drank about 6 Pepsi’s a day and often spiked it with some bourbon. Later I took a liking to Tonic because the kids would not steal it from the frig. Even before moving to AZ I took a liking to Diet Dr Pepper and also to Diet Rite fruit flavors (mostly tangerine and raspberry). I still have some of the latter, but have mostly avoided any sodas for a few years now.

My new Dr allows me NO sweetners except Stevia and few things are made with that. To save $ I ordered bulk of some unsweetened Koolaid powders and bulk stevia as well on Amazon. I also have herbal tea ;-DFilm on “cute animals” was VERY – watched the whole tape.

“Sir”, among other things,

I love the rainfrog!

Re: the blog: I’m hooked on the Thai woman’s rendition of 4 Non Blonde’s song, “What’s Up.” She starts off nervous, but then really nails it.

COLONEL SANDERS AND ALICE COOPERAlice Cooper played my brother’s high school prom. He wasn’t a big act yet and they’d had a hugely successful fund-raising for the band.

Teresa, your fruit bowls always look so appetizing!
