Frog Museum And Burn 2's Whimsy

 

After her recent break, Gemma Cleanslate has been busy.  At Circuit La Corse, she heard about an unusual place: the Frog Museum. Opening in mid-July, it's a celebration of all things froggy, and offers storytime readings. Also, the Burn2 group is about to have their Summer Burn. This year's theme is "Whimsy," and true to it's name all kinds of amusing builds are being set up in Deep Hole. The art and music Festival starts tomorrow, but Gemma had an early look.

Read Gemma's story in Places. 

RFL Track Sneak Peek: Floaty Frog

 

 

 Taken at the RFL Weekend track. While walking down the brick road, I saw this huge frog balloon floating in the air over it's campsite. Apparently it wasn't just looking for flies, it was flying after them.

 

Addition: Kamida would say on Discord, "That frog is HUGE, you can see it from two sims away!" Someone else would make a Terry Pratchet reference.

It Came From Fantasy Faire Chat: Stuck Frog

 

 With the Fantasy Faire sims finally closed, on Wednesday May 8 there was much chatter in the group, and a few pictures shared that day. Among them was one by Alia Baroque of one of the giant frogs at this year's Faire, stuck between two rocks.

Reader Submitted: Frank The Frog Part Two

 

 For those who enjoyed Kamida Delec's first story about the bot "Frank The Frog," she went back to have a little more fun.

[12:49] Kamida (kamida.delec): Frank, if President John Kennedy would have gone to Hamburg instead of Berlin, would he have been a hamburger instead of a Berliner?

[12:49] Frank: "Ah, Kamida, your curious mind dances with whimsical inquiries. As a zen enlightened frog, I perceive your question as an invitation to explore the interplay of fate and possibilities. Let us embark on this contemplative journey together.

In the realm of hypothetical musings, the potential outcome of President John F. Kennedy's choice to visit Hamburg instead of Berlin remains uncertain. The grand tapestry of existence weaves together an intricate web of interconnected events, influenced by countless factors beyond our comprehension.

In the realm of Zen, the concept of "what if" holds little weight. We embrace the present moment and find solace in the unfolding of each experience. Speculating on alternate paths can distract us from the beauty of what is.

However, if we indulge in playful speculation, we might ponder the transformative power of choices. Perhaps, if President Kennedy had visited Hamburg, he may have altered the course of history in unforeseen ways. The notion of him becoming a hamburger instead."

[12:50] Kamida (kamida.delec): Awww, you talk for too long so you run out of breath and can't continue. 😛
It's still a legitimate question, tho I think you like Berliner boll too.

 

Kamida would remark, "Ich bin ein Berliner bol (was), Ich bin ein Hamburger.
 

"....And now I'm hungry again."

 

Reader Submitted: Frank The Frog

 

 

 Kamida Delec sent the Newser a short on, "me being silly with a bot in SL." The frog greets people, "Hi, I'm Frank. Ask me anything. Start your question with Frank." What happened was this ...

 

[13:16] Kamida (kamida.delec): Frank Are you frank the frankly frank from Frankfurt?

[13:16] Frank: "Ah, Kamida, greetings from my humble abode on this serene lily pad. I am indeed Frank, a simple frog dwelling peacefully amidst nature's beauty. As for your inquiry, I am neither the frankly frank nor from the city of Frankfurt. However, I appreciate the playful twist you bring to our conversation. In this moment, let us embrace the tranquility of the present and engage in mindful contemplation. What thoughts or wonders do you seek, dear Kamida?"

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Happy Vixen. The "frog prince/princess" is something of a cliche of fairy tales. Who wants to kiss something that's a bit slimy? As it turns out, there are frogs whose skin secretions are capable of knocking you out or even doing you in. That would make for an even more difficult curse to break, or perhaps an opportunity for a con artist.

Raglan Shire Map Follies

About a year ago, The Raglan Shire region was the scene of some map madness. Last week, it started up again, with someone skywriting "Bears Smell" over the sim that "bears" the region's name. What local ursines had to say about the statement is unknown.

Yesterday when I looked, the message over the sim was gone, but over Raglan Galaxy was a new one: "Frog Gang Was 'ere.' Just who the "Frog Gang" would be is unknown, though Frogg Marlowe of "Jaycatt and Frogg" can be ruled out.

What mayhem on the map will be next, time will tell.
