Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 11, 2016

Waggin’ HOoooo!

Wag’s Hutt

I am begining to recall why I did not follow Bloom County much

Bobbi “Mean Streets” Harlow is making her presence felt in rural Bloom County….

We all know who Little Johnny grew up to be. He still has been known to acknowledge a wagging tail.

Even an Overlord can be swayed by a lovable mutt….

They were Dooleys’, Doolin-Dalton

High or low, it was the same

But what does the fox say?

The appearance of dingleberries happen to say, stay away..

I can read my girls smile just fine.

It says, “Treat?”

The tail that wagged the dog spoke to little Yohnny.

Tails are very expressive.

little doggie your tail is telling about your love for your master

My dog’s tail will go around like an airplane propeller when she is happy.

‘Bone cold’? I always thought the phrase was ‘stone cold’.

And THAT, gentle reader, is why the Cafe never appeared again…

I have heard that gluten is very bad for you. Just in case, I have increased my daily gluten intake. One can never be too careful when statistical studies are being carried out. You never want to be a statistic.

I still don’t understand Frog Applause.

…and the wheel keeps turning…

I miss Bobbi Harlow.

A sudden sharp noise was all that was needed. A pixel avalanche began, without preamble or explanation.

I was in it before I knew it was happening, trying to swim with it to maintain my bearings.

Nearly without thinking, I activated the flotation bubble in my rucksack, which lifted me above the moving sea of pixels. While an avalanche is not a perfect fluid, it is fluid enough for flotation to be relevant, with less dense volumes being forced toward the surface.

The non-permeable fabric membrane and the canister in which I had compressed all those things which one should not hold in were well worth the burden they represented.

I gained no understanding.

I was not crushed and frozen.

I was lifted above the flow.

I lived to wag the tale.
