Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 28, 2017

Urinalysis is part of the trickle-down economy.

By ceasing to make sense, the world we live in has made itself more similar to Frog Applause.

The New Guinea Highland Wild Dog will eventually return to it’s native habitat, have patience..

The New Guinea Highland Wild Dog went to Borneo because they had heard that the paparazzi there tasted better.

Control the B vitamins, control the world.

Fletcher & Tanya had to exorcise Li’l Trumpy in order to return to their accustomed surreality. http://www.seattlepi.com/comics-and-games/fun/Zippy_the_Pinhead/

Probed the New Guineas article while recovering from analysis.

I remember when Gore Vidal called William F. Buckley, Jr. a pro-crypto-Nazi (when you think about, it’s almost kinda barely the same thing). #itsastretch

Fasting, for the test, he finally indulged in a treat….

While the spork waited patiently on the table.

You are over thinking it.

That face!!! He seems to be sick to his stomach.

He has a foon in his automobile, names it CARFOON.

He has a jugular shot foon, named his BUFFOON.

I’m bummed that I have to be satisfied with Crème Brûlée as I peruse the old National Geographic magazines in the waiting room.

The highland dogs have their own version of the urine test.

Warming to the task and feeling less threatened, she began to deconstruct the situation and restore her dominance. “Well, stop it. I didn’t summon you and I don’t want you here. I’m not Alice and this boat was abandoned, so I have a legal right to salvage as the sole claimant. And I’m not lost. I am exactly where I mean to be. If anybody here is lost, it is you. You seem to be a combination of at least two things, and unable to decide which of them you most want to be.”

The New Guinea Highland Wild Dog did not go extinct. It is alive and well, and hiding out in Mexico City under an assumed name.

Is a foon like a spork?

Pyroluria- KryptopyroluriaPyroluria: How Pyrroles Affect Physical and Mental HealthPyroluria is a genetically acquired chemical imbalance in which the body produces an abnormally large number of pyrroles. A pyrolle is a chemical consisting of a 5 membered aromatic ring. These chemicals are the byproduct of hemoglobin synthesis and have no known function in the body; they are normally excreted in the urine. Most people have very few pyrroles in their system at any given time; certain individuals, however, have an unusually high number of pyrroles in their bodies, resulting in a condition known as pyroluria.

Also known as Mauve Factor (due to the mauve color visible on testing paper during urinalysis) or pyrrole disorder, pyroluria occurs when the pyrroles bind to pyroxidine (vitamin B6) and zinc, causing these vital nutrients to be excreted from the body in large amounts.

Deficiencies of B6 and zinc are associated with a wide range of emotional and psychiatric problems. Nervousness, extreme irritability, anxiety, depression, short-term memory problems, and explosive anger have all been linked to pyroluria. A large percentage of patients with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia exhibit high levels of pyroles; alcoholics and emotionally disturbed children also tend to have an abnormally high pyrrole count.

In addition, zinc deficiencies have been associated with a number of physiological disorders, including poor immune function, poor growth, and delayed sexual development. Because zinc and B6 are so important to both our overall physical and mental health, identifying and treating this devastating condition is critical.

Teresa’s subscriber numbers have dropped off again. Those people don’t know what they’re missing. Or maybe they do. Some people just can’t handle using their minds to absorb things that are different. Predictability is their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even their mint under a pillow is predictable. “I pity da fools”, like Mr. T would say.

I say, Fredric! You really must stop reading those old National Geographic’s in the Waiting Room whilst, ahem, awaiting the results of your tests. The nice doggies are not extinct, just reclusive. And, please, dispose of that disgusting French meringue floating on vanilla custard; it is truly repulsive and ill-suited to a prissy young gent such as yourself! Am I sufficiently clear?
