Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 05, 2023

Murakami says silence is something you can actually hear. And the Attanasio quote seems like a simple observation, a cautionary advisory about life.

I’d advise our young friend here to go easy on the Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations.

When all else is silent, i am overwhelmed by tinnitus

If you can’t understand my silence, how can you understand my words?

Hello darkness my old friend.

…it’s hard to read between the lines when you can’t read the lines…

…an eggplant and a sunflower?…

…what’s that supposed to mean?…

…A.A. does AI…

…a flesh computer…

…hello, silence my old friend…

…you still owe me twenty dollars..

Ms. McGreedy and how is Ms. Mc Ready?

Noise as well … NOISE❗️

It is. People often mistake my inability to say anything for hostility. It’s usually because my brain is taking a personal day,.

Not ever seen is the same as, you are the silent one.

✌️ Peace out of this world, and of course On Earth.

Aye, but “silence is golden”; meaning why open your yap and demonstrate your idiocy for all to hear?

Nevertheless, here is your challenge: Misread this, punk! Do ya feel lucky?

(…) [crickets]

Well, do ya?

The wise man is silent, as, e.g., the Dumb Ox….

Sometimes knowing exactly what it means is even worse.

If any person with whom I am emotionally invested declines to use their words, I am neither responsible for nor interested in figuring out whether or not they are upset with me.

An inside joke…

Disclaimer?

Full Moon today. The Moon is only truly full for 60 seconds.

12:28 am this morning…

Greatest … Committee Name … Ever

Tune In, Tune Out, and Revel in the Sound of Silence!

I’ll lend you my Bose QuietComfort 45® headphones

I’de gladly dump my cell for a silent book!

Who knows what stands in front of

Our lives

I fashion my future on films in space

Silence

Tells me secretly

Everything

The rest is silence

Misread: twisted sister yarns a big fat lie and I can’t tell if it fits or not.

Bratworsted..?

Worsted lie ever told by Sister Brat.
