Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 26, 2023

You can usually buy fast food at the alley.

In the newly illustrated five-volume classic Bildungsroman by François Rabelais, Gargantua decides his young son Pantagruel, not yet grown to full height, has been poorly taught in the care of a tutor, and decides to send him to Paris to be properly educated. (—

I feel sure that you’re neglecting many more attractive possibilities.

…gives new meaning to street vender…

…in Vancouver, they do keep their sidewalks clean…

…and their female Sasquatchs…(from Saskatchewan)…

…cook a really good street urchin gyro…

…and the bowling allies in Vancouver have street tacos to spare…

…if you strike while the iron is hot…

We had a saying in Savannah, Georgia that I hope I can get onto this site…“I don’t know whether to s—- or go blind.”

If you don’t know, you’ve likely passed the Choose Wisely Junction.

Bowling ball shaped fast food would come in handy right now.

Another advantage to eating food from the sidewalk is it’s ABC: Already Been Chewed.

what to do…what to do…

That shorter person is doing a good job of copying their partner’s stance. It’s kind of a human social tendency.

Matches fume, close cover before striking.

Three on a bowling match, all die in a cornered bowling bar and grill.

Pity Charles Byrne and curse John Hunter! All poor Charlie wanted was to be buried at sea in a sealed lead coffin.

Hurly-burly man and son.

Don’t go bowling in Lewiston, Maine today. :’(

If you use the 3 second rule you’ll be fine but longer than that you’ll get sick and won’t be able to go bowling!

if it’s Tuesday it must be squelched fries

The little guy might as well ask the big guy if he’s stopped beating his wife …!

( classic yes/no dilemma )

Maybe he could ask Rotifer to borrow Ruben’s bowling pin for his tall friend.

Have you ever tried eating fast-food off the floor of a bowling alley? It’s pretty slick!

Admitting you don’t know the first step. Not stepping on your dinner is the second step. You can’t handle the third step.

Just stay in your lane, little man.

Don’t lick your two middle fingers or thumb before a thorough disinfecting if you’ve been bowling.

In Japan it’s kosher pickles, when Rabbi blessed the sidewalk grill. Getting grilled in Bowling, is gassed from leaking and low temp. settings .

The potty room could is down the alley.

Now I am hungry for a McChicken and the nearest McDonald’s is 50 miles away (and also the roads are bad because it was/is snowing here).

It’s simple, Shrimp! If you’re hungry, you eat off the sidewalk—and like it! If you’re not, you go bowling, if you have any skill for it.

Otherwise, as big as I am, I can just terrorize the Natives into providing whatever I feel I need. Size and strength can be big (ahem) advantages in this life.

(By-the-by: strictly personal aside. As it happens, Silhouette Shrimp looks a lot like a silhouette image of me that was incorporated into a published scholarly report by a friend with imaging needs and abilities.)

…when I was 14 (my dog! 60 years ago!) I worked the grill at A&W. One day I took a frozen hamburger and through it out on the road, let cars run over it, brushed it off and grilled it…

…true story…

…we never got compliments from people…

…but the car hop came back and said that the customer really wanted to tell us how good the hamburger tasted…

…I also used to write FLICK you with mustard on the footlongs…

…what can I say….

…I was 14…

This is a clear cry for help from the inner child.
