Parasitic Troglodyte

A repulsive, grotesque person of the male species. One who specializes at repelling females, and making people around them vomit uncontrollably. Usually smells like the inside of a hobo's butt, or two skunks fighting over some mushy poop.
Adam, Charlie, and Matt just walked in and everyone started puking. They are hideous and they stink, what a bunch or parasitic troglodytes.

: an exceptionally advanced cuddling position involving two persons and a spectator. The first person involved, lying on their back, must have one leg between the other person’s legs, wrapping their remaining leg--the far outside leg--around the three already intertwined. The second participant tightly wraps their torso on top of first person’s side, while snuggling their head into the décolletage or chest area. The first person’s arms are generally stretched around the second person’s waist and back, firmly supporting their contorted position and clutching them as closely as possible; and, the second person’s arms are up-stretched and wound around the chest and neck area of the first person. Ideally, the second person in this position should have minimal contact with the bed—a hip at most. This position is generally most effective in the dark where the role of the spectator is to remain to the side, burning with curiosity.
B: What's going on over there?

C: We're having a parasitic groping pretzel tree.

A: *muffled chuckling*

coondog paralysis

Also known as Acute Polyradiculoneuritis. This is a canine neurological disorder caused by exposure to certain contaminants contained in the feces, saliva, urine and blood of many small animals, such as racoons, possums and skunks.

The 'agent' then sets off an overreaction of the immune system, which leads to paralysis beginning in the back legs and moving forward, eventually leading to heart attacks and pulmonary failure. Some dogs will continue to eat and drink for a while, some will not.

The treatment for this disease is life support until the worst passes, followed by gradually increasing physical therapy. Once infected, the dog will always be at a greatly increased risk of contracting it again, but it can be survived with proper treatment.

Some symptoms to watch for are:
- Weakness starting in the hind legs and progressing to all legs
- Weak bark
- Development of severe weakness
- Total inability to stand
- Shallow breaths or difficulty breathing
- Stiff or rubbery back legs
- Loss of interest in food and/or water
- General lethargy
- Resistance to attempts to walk the dog
- Loss of bowel and/or bladder control
- Fluid in the lungs
- Heart attack
If your dog exhibits any of these symptoms, be sure to ask your vet about coondog paralysis, also known as acute polyradiculoneuritis - it could save your dog's life.

See specialty pet websites for details, or do a web search.

"Man, my vet told me my dog was just old, but then I found out about coondog paralysis, and he had all the symptoms. If I had known, they could have saved my dog. I never should have let him poke his nose in that hole under the bush."
