Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 15, 2023

Was there pot? And smokers thereof?

Or potlikkers.

Tongue on fire hydrant in the forty degrees below fahrenheit. Farm

You oughta get you some.

There appears to have been plenty of pot.

there was, however, a potboiler.

Pot smokers? Given this crowd, I’d have to say yes.

looks like some got enough to eat anyway

Maybe some politickers.

…there was a pot of gold…

…and some potlicker likers…

…and there was a large pot that no one had won in awhile…

…open the pot bay doors ,HAL…

…Amy put pot in the salad…

…but she claimed you couldn’t get buzzed from unheated marijuana …<p…it’d just taste worse…

…but you’d be be happy about…

…but that would be like the pot calling the kettle black…

…surprise, surprise, that’s not my potlicker, either…

Well I saw pot-knickers, pot-bickers, pot-tickers…OH MY!

Without the one, you certainly wouldn’t need t’other.

Some potlucks go like licketistick!

Just don’t let in any potkickers.

Sticking with the theme … Potbellies …!

( sorta )

This whole gag is going to pot!

Bong Rights, at Wright’s Flying Farm…

Just say no to potluck, kids!

The Potheads were hungry!

There were some gyozas though.

No potstickers at the potluck? I’m out of luck and I’m gone.

or potables

A potluck can quickly turn to potmisfortune, when everyone brings Rootbeer and finger-jello.

I brought bananas (for the electrolytes), cooked tubers, and stew in a pastry crust, packed with quilted squares of insulating fabric in a clay bowl. I thought about bringing fragrant plant chips to improve the atmospheric ambience, but some of you would lob crude and undeserved criticisms at me because you would definitely try to eat them.

Potlicker (or pot licker) is/was a derogatory term used in my lifetime in the religious bigotry that existed between Protestants and Catholics. Protestants called Catholics catlickers (see Wiktionary, s.v.), and potlicker (stupid, dull, low status person, etc.; see Urban Dictionary) was the retaliatory term used by Catholics against Protestants. Happily, such overt bigotry is for the most part now behind us, or at least quiescent.

And, moreover, not being much of a cook, I have always disliked potlucks and tried to avoid them….

Winning formulations of pot liquor was available for purchase in festive spaghetti sauce jars at a table adjoining the kissing booth.

Use Teflon next time.
