Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 29, 2020

That’s a generalization but with pacific examples.

Spiny lumpsuckers are social, and will interact with divers. They seem happy and playful.

Tasselled wobbegongs are solitary, and will sometimes bite and kill divers. They may enjoy the life of a carpetshark.

Fried egg jellyfish hang out in the same places, but we have no idea whether this is coincidental or deliberate. Any interaction with humans is probably accidental. They are not unhappy because the concept of happiness seems to be irrelevant to them.

“Not giving a rat’s ass about what other people think” in an important part of Megalonomastic Hermeneutics.

The only one you really have to impress is yourself. That also goes for the stoopid people who run this site. Although, after 3 years of saying they would fix Sherpa, we now know that they are way too stoopid to know anything and they don’t impress anybody.

Of course, she is only assuming that they are not unhappy. They might be silently screaming inside.

Don’t ever leave me Lucille, you’re the only true friend I’ve got who doesn’t put on airs…. that fried egg jellyfish is a true friend….he never gives a yolk about anyone and thinks they’re not all cracked to what they think they are.

… today’s Frog Applause imposes a bias…

…don’t persons trying to impress other people have enough problems without being called dumber than a friend egg jellyfish?…

…think of poor George Clooney…

…his constant sorrow …

…having to sell coffee machines…

…coffee machines!…

…coffee machines only being bought by other people trying to impress other people…

…and the selfish friend egg jellyfish, do they care?…

…around as much as a spiny lumpsucker…

…or a tasseled wobbegong…

…they don’t care at all…

Survival of the fishiest … sea what I did there …?

Happiness is some blowfish for me and my nosey neighbors.

“They do not sweat and whine about their condition,

They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,

Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”

from Walt Whitman, Song of Myself, Verse 32. 1892

“If I only had a brain.” Well, take Prevagen for your brain, its made from jellyfish, everyone knows they are deep thinkers.

SPORKNIF...bringing to lemon twist party…This is better than a dollhouse…

My dolly can beat up your dolly.

David “Dave” Prowse, the actor best known for playing Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, has died at the age of 85, his agent has said.

Apparently jellyfish do not die of old age.

Listen, doll. If I told you my problems, those guys would look like pikers!
