I have sad news about Rotifer. As many of you know, he’s a recovering pasta addict. Teresa knows this too, and sometimes she intentionally stimulates his mesocorticolimbic pathway with thinly veiled references to that other more obscure GoComics’ character with the lasagna issue (I’m speaking about the “LuAnn G___field” reference in Her 5/15/18 edition of Frog Applause™). Well, that “LuAnn G____field” mention sent my Rotty on real spaghetti bender. We had to have another intervention, and he’s agreed to go to “camp” at an undisclosed location (again) outside the USA* that specializes in the treatment of pasta-related dependencies (using a fast-track regime of juice from fermented grapes from a variety of growers scattered around Napa and Sonoma counties). If all goes well he’ll be back in a week or so.
Sincerely,
Rotifer’s Mother
P.S. Darn you, Teresa. Darn you to heck for being his enabler.
Your pain is my pain. It must be torture watching Rotty overspork himself on pasta. Tell me he hasn’t experimented with the super-addictive varieties such as bucatini. I’ve heard angel hair is a gateway pastaoid. Is he pestoing too? Or is he mainly a saucy meatballer? I apologize for all the questions, but we all suspected the road he was on. And to think Teresa was involved. If the Froglandian national flag isn’t flying at last-mast, it should be.
I can understand it if Teresa feels as though she should take some responsibility for sending Rotifer on his latest bender, but why must we all be punished with a FA repeat? Is this a mistake or punishment?
You know why I put up with the same FA two days in a row? I admire the lameness in it. Yes, the lameness of having to make comments, different ones, from yesterday. I sort of give a hats off to Brass Orchid for that. Shrewd move taking the heat off Teresa by being the enemy of the day.
I have read of such “camps” … they employ a regimen of in vivo voltammetry with carbon fibre electrodes … success is measured by how many water chestnuts and Brussels sprouts can be consumed in one day. Unfortunately, this may lead to the need for other types of encampments … a vicious cycle indeed ….
Anna doesn’t care, so why should we? We are the lame, the acolytes of Sister Teresa of the Perpetual Lameness! The sad news of Rotiferian relapse aside (and leave my beloved Angel Hair out of it!), today is but a test. Those who fail shall be cast out of Froglandia, for they are not truly lame! Our borders are vague and securely so! Do not try to re-enter, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 angel hairs!

Dear Mother Thalweg,

I’m not the fluffiest bunny in the bunch, but does Anna have more than one employer?

Tell Rotifer that the white water is a tad dangerous this year…
