Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 12, 2024

Ah, the luscious lamprey. I admire their rasping tongue.

No cloacal apertures for me, thanks. Yikes

They suck.

Probably because they don’t have a fashion sense.

And I love the artwork.

No face yet…

Rough Draft.

The penalty on Giraffe.

Facemask rubber bath Matt.

If lampreys attach themselves to a stoner who likes to swim, will the result be high eels?

That’s a shoe-in for a good joke.

I’m sure they’re just good friends

OMG! she has sucked her face off!

Lampreys have a way of gnawing into one’s heart, though….

They’re facing things head on.

Time is a lamprey

From future to past

Leaves you swimming in the ocean

With its face pressed against your assets

Gnawty, gnawty.

zoology has practical uses

Now, ladies, there’s no need to get all eely-feely. Let’s just lamp and prey.

Who knew the Butterick Sewing Pattern models knew so much aquatic zoology? I didn’t.

Also, it looks like they’re sharing a pair of earrings.

“Snickered the snarl with the snoozing snipe, that lurked where the lamprey lay!” By Eugene Field

Lampreys … nature’s French kissers …?

( ugh … sorta )

I’d need an hour or two to sub-google all the terms necessary to understand this creature. So much complicated verbiage! Makes me want to rewrite my creator bio.

PS I really love the artwork today!

I’ve always believed that lampreys are totally misunderstood and make Lovely Pets. Course you have to feed them, but once they are attached they pretty much feed themselves.

Buccal tunnel

What they lack in charm, they make up for in Spice.

Fun Historical Tidbit for the day: Rich Roman Vedius Pollio, pal of Augustus Caesar, kept a pool full of moray eels he used to throw his slaves into. He liked to watch the hapless slaves being ripped apart by the eels in a matter of minutes. He did this a lot!

Slimy behavior but not illegal according to Roman Law because – “cüm in servum omnia liceant” (“all things are allowed to be done to a slave”).

trade you a carpal for a buccal ;+)
