"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

I was going to say Christmas Island, which would be 9 letters if your left out the island bit. Which is not the important bit after all. Well, I suppose it would be if you lived there. It would be pretty important that the island just didn’t, you know, up and vanish one day while you were out playing whist with the robber crabs. But what I’m getting at is that Christmas is the important part of the name. I mean, seems like there are more people who celebrate Christmas than celebrate islands. Not that I have anything against islands, although some people might be starting to think that. Some of my best friends are islands. I, uh, don’t really celebrate Christmas either come to think of it. If I was going to celebrate something with 9 letters in it, I would probably go for Wayzgoose. Or, if my mood was passably Shetlandish, a spot of Up Helly Aa. Oh yes.
By the way, Christmas Island’s not a country.

The answer is on de frogblog. I’d reveal it here but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone still trying to figure it out.

Your friend has eyes in the back of his head? Better to see his butt, I guess.

barticle35: click on the chicken on the right of the page.
Before I go peek, I’m betting on Slobbovia.
Or maybe E.Elbonia.
