Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 23, 2016

If he’s a member of an off-shoot of the L.A. Crips, I don’t want to see his hand signs.

A real thing, sold by the Waterbury Rubber Company.Apparently, a rubber hose tightly wound with spring wire.(Not intended for nostril lavage.)

..wrapped up like a deuce knot nostril..

Visually striking.But can it grip the eye sphincter?Let’s put it to the test.[Machinery clunks and whirs in background.]Yes! It does. Get yours today!

I asked the Best Boy and got no answer… but I must know. Just how does one reach the sphincter through the nostril ?

Yeah? You’re going to need a longer hose.

@RadishOk then! Here’s some Jibba Jabba rap (very short): https://youtu.be/GHXhGEIAXpE

Mine is quite well used.

Nope. Not gonna touch this one.

Up your nose with a rubber hose, fella!Flutter-by, flower, Aegean interlinked spirals—you’ll see it all flash before your eyes before the Darkness….

There are those people to whose verbal outpourings one might ascribe the properties of diarrhea. Trump may be one of these. They may usually be identified by their careful parsing of language, which does pour forth at intervals, though with a very low consistency, their Truth being fluid and not particularly fecund in nature.

They sell these for hookahs at my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant.

Whoa—awesome art! The word “sphincter” has always made me smile for some reason, too.

Good one.
