Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 13, 2021

But still right handsome.

Shake it off …!

For many, mundanity is sanity. But when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

You need to use that mundane hand on a few people who got rid of Sherpa.

Need to indulge in a Mama Celestial pizza.

what are you talking about?

The Banality of the Mundane.

This is a job for … Calgon and their lovely Bath Beads!

Such quotidien considerations.

It may interest you to know (or it may not) that Bertrand Russell thought boredom an essential ingredient of a full life.

“Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil.” ― Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

The mundane GoComics management killed the Sherpa with the stroke of a key.

…my brother an avid adventurer related this story to me yesterday….

…his 4 year old grandson told him that he wanted to go throughout the world and seek adventure like him…

…my brother said to him…

.. I’ve been all over cross country skiing, hiking, kayaking ,hunting, fishing and traveling…

… but you will find most of your adventures in your own backyard and town…

…you can adventure every day…

…it is a decision to make yourself be adventurous…

…meanwhile I am decided to either watch the new Tom & Jerry movie or finish up The Stand miniseries…

If you embrace your inner bore quarantine is allowing you to become one with the lump.

when experiencing boredom, simply sprinkle dried herb(s) onto your palm(s), since it seems as though that you have got enough thyme on your hand(s)

I try to avoid the mundaneness of it all by concentrating on the lameness. It is the lameness that makes life worth living.

“Mundanes” is the snobby descriptor used by various groups (e.g.: Society for Creative Anachronism) for people who aren’t them.

Some DL hand cleaner and/or Boraxo will take care of that.

Yup. It’s one of those days again. To be sure, writing in several varied fonts on the back of your hand could be fun of a sort. Kinda mundane, though….

Mundaneness? 8^0 Make it madness for me, please! 8^D

Je meurs d’ennui.

Some dead white guy I read about in college (whose name I cannot recall) once referred to, “soul-destroying boredom.” That dead white guy never read Frog Applause©

He may or may not have been dead when I read about him. That was a couple of years ago.

The great mundane … Hey MUN … A GREAT DANE …. Time for feeding again, and again.

I need … to go back and read some Keats, listen to a little Zappa, have a few of the cookies I helped bake today …

Re the Blog: there are also a few words that contain the “common” vowels in order … and I’m not being facetious … and facetiously contains the bonus “y” …!

Happy Damned March 14th … Pi Day today (not yesterday or tomorrow) …!

… it wasn’t so much mundane as lame…

…at least that’s what she said…

… I, on the other hand, considered it the 4th of July…

…thus, the conundrum…

… should I mourn her leaving…

…or celebrate her gumption?…

…she ended up painting graffiti on the space shuttle…

…and sacrificing a Tom Brady in Singapore while quoting The Poet Gates…

…I, on the other hand, the left ,in fact…

…read The Red Badge Of Courage…

…by only reading the first and last sentences of each paragraph…

Day 2. Bathos! Banality! Boredom!

Play with your mind.
