Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 01, 2021

Git ’er up on the hoist.

Including Pancreatic… Eyes as black as frying pans…

Burn no more my tidy white lady, eat an ice cream cone, chocolate dipped in strawberry icing.

Saw a Gypsy, selling snake oil, only she said you need the snake not the oil.

Reminds me of flushing the toydee for fear a snake could be close.

Oh that fire down below, sometimes it’s pleasure, sometimes it’s pain.

This gives a new meaning to being full of it!

It’s all done with stents and tiny cameras.

Hospital gowns are coming in some really nice colors now.

I’ve heard that the fact that Eskimos have dozens of words for snow is actually apocryphal. Which gives yet another layer of meaning and irony to the coinage “snowclone.”

…why would I call you doctor?…

…I’m the surgeon…

…is a bile duct anything like a Muscovy duck?…

…I’m no expert, but I think you should get that fixed…

…Donald Rumsfield just died…

… but that had nothing to do with the Watergate leak…

…or neapolitan’s waterloo…

…Abba…

…or the brothers, Gibb…

…or Kiss on that one song…

…why do only women bleed?…

…go ask Alice…

…gotta go…

…I hear Beth calling…

Feel the burn, baby, burn!

Bile leaks are a rare but serious complication of gallbladder surgery. If a bile duct is damaged during surgery, bile may leak into the abdominal cavity, causing extreme pain. Bile leaks are often corrected by placing a stent (narrow tube) in the duct to keep bile from escaping while the duct heals.

Just rub some dirt on it and hand Brass the scalpel …!

I thought it was the coffee.

Why bother with the healthcare racket, some bile duct tape should take care of that.

What happens when the Abominable Snowman has a leaky bile duct? Does it freezer-burn through all of his abdominal/abominable organs, too?

My lady friends would put me off by telling me they’re busy washing their hair. At least I was spared the extrahepatics.

Swallowing super glue.

Alex what will seal the deal?

Outer Space Pinball w/planet bumpers…

—Or, you could stick around and let us watch you bleed out. Now, that’s entertainment!

But I suppose saving your life might be a higher priority for you than putting on a big show for us. So, go ahead, have your leaky surgery. (I’d tell how I leaked for weeks after a supposedly simple procedure, but it’s a long and rather dull tale….)

fatal :+/

…as Alice finished reading the letter, she knew Edward was gone…

…gone gone…

…no more cups of tea at story telling time…

…no more stories while sharing their haggis…

…she knew she went to far when she…

…how did he put it?…

…‘set fire to his boat and sold his novel as her own’…

…she now wondered if he truly liked the ghost pepper in his porridge every morning…

…or just said he did to see her…

…smile…

…drat, she thought…

…the ship has finally sailed…

…and I’m plundered…

That’ll kill ya for sure. Happened just recently to a family member.

Only my eye shadow knows.

Space … the final frontier … to boldly go …

to the split infinitive …!

Leave it to The Beaver’s Cleavage.

I’m going home.

And when I want to go home, I’m goin’ hole bile.

Yes I’m gonna find a hole that’s real, see how it feels, goin’ hole bile.

Keep me movin’, movin’.

The Frog: Goin’ Hole Bile; Frog’s Next

Day 2. Messages from the Living Dead. That’s gotta hurt!

Tonto in Toronto seen w/mask on.

I like the art.
