By all account last night's inaugural "Telling the Widemouthed Frog Joke" competition at the Old Entomologist was a great success. All credit is due to the contestants for their enthusiasm, and to tigris and Another Kiwi for their vigilance in ensuring that no-one cheated by using the Riddled Facial-Muscle Faradiser.I had no idea that there was going to be a group event. It must have been a last-minute addition to the program.
The judges were unanimous in awarding Greenish Hugh the prestigious Golden Ribbit (this being a tasteful gilded replica of the blender we normally use for disposing of the evidence after pithed-frog lab demos). Sadly, it turned out that he had not actually entered, but was merely trying to dislodge the skewer after an ill-judged attempt to eat a shish-kebab sideways.
Ah, that's what McGravy-tasse's "blender drinks" are!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the fellow in the brown, um, tunic? toga? did not care for some of the jokes.

ReplyDelete~
catch up to Finland
ReplyDeleteThat's an excellent table. I knew about Finns and Slovenians (who doesn't?) but where's Norway and Denmark in that list? And I think Belgium was sandbagging them: very promiscuous.
