Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 15, 2016

Is this a metaphor for Wednesday?

That is not Teresa and her critics. That is Teresa’s fans and one of her critics.

I’d love to know what goes on in Teresa’s mind, but I’m content with just enjoying her surreal and almost phantasmagorical offerings.

Putting his camera down, the spotter in the chopper reached for his high-powered, scoped rifle.BANG!What did he shoot at? Did he hit anything? Or was it just a blank to startle the critters into action as he took up his camera again?The world of Frog Applause is often full of moral ambiguities….How low and lame we froggies are on the food chain! I want to live! (attributed to Susan Hayward)

Or it is a tick carrier with its complement of support vessels, and it is only designed to look like a benevolent elk being hounded by feral lupine denizens of the park. The eyes may be fooled and the mind as well. Only rampant paranoia can save you now.

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!

This just in: Donald Trump says our elk are in danger… the two black wolves should be deported!!!

How can you humans claim to be at the top of the food chain? Seems to me, worms are at the top .But then birds eat worms and it starts all over. There is no food chain, just a food cycle. (I’m usually not this morose…sorry.)

Elk again I had that for dinner last night

The Wolves have been invited to the Elk’s Lodge for canasta.

Take me up on it if 3 pigs in a blanket are being served.Josh, stop me please, shove something down my throat if I laugh…

Josh’s comments are far from getting better (i.e.. funny or clever). He’s not even a funny or clever troll. Whoever said it first was right. Some trolls are more useless than others.

One wolf for each leg.

@Happy. Your ability to find on-topic bunny-related images to Teresa’s work is amazing. What’s your secret?

@AnyoneWhoKnows (I keep forgetting that it’s impossible to reply to a post that has only an image). Does it matter if there’s a bit of text under the image when it comes to replying?

Hey, man. You’re a Frog Applause landmark. If there was a historical marker system in place, one would be next to you, alongside several others here. Ever hear of a blue plaque?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_plaque

I was curious about the difference among the coat colors of wolves. I was also curious about inbreeding in wolf packs. Some of what I found:

In a DNA study of the agouti signal protein (ASIP) in coyotes, wolves, and dogs we found that there was no difference between the wolf and dog, except for a few mutations that cause specific coat color patterns in the dog (fawn, black-and-tan, and recessive black). Wolves exhibit the pattern known as wolf sable, with banded hairs on the back, and some solid black hairs interspersed. Some dogs also exhibit this pattern.A nice comparison chart: http://preview.tinyurl.com/j5dpu9u

Info about inbreeding. (Sorry if no one else finds this stuff interesting).http://preview.tinyurl.com/z37oat8

But would you want to be the one who drove off a subscriber, even a dissatisfied one? A few playful nibbles at the haunches, maybe an examination of the viscera, these things are all perfectly acceptable. But allow for immaturity to have its day at least some of the time. There is a hunger that makes us want to have outsiders about who can become insiders in the best way possible.Anybody else watching Hunters on Syfy?Anybody else watching Hunter x Hunter on Toonami?No? Oh… you can’t read this until later can you. I suppose I will have to accept your limitations then…

I know. But I used up all my question marks because I ran out of exclamation points. I’ll have to run out to the Punctuation Depot and stock up. This is becoming inconvenient;

These people are not reasonable. They are not rational. You cannot persuade them. You cannot argue with them. You can only run. Run until your heart gives out and the breath no longer comes to you. Run until you fall insensate and without the will to move any farther. And then they will eat you alive, while your terror and fatigue stop your voice so you cannot even scream. It is all you can do. Run, and hope that you fly off a bluff or into a body of water, to either be free of them or of life itself. Run. Do not stop. Keep running.(This would have been much better if I had exclamation points. I’m lucky to have found some spare periods. I had to use a semicolon in place of a period earlier, which is just terribly awkward.)
