Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 12, 2019

Shiver Me Timbers

Indoors in a straitjacket: perfect descriptor of a Danish winter.

I’d buy that for a dollar!

You may not be able to see this, but the guy in the straight jacket is wearing very comfortable socks.

Now I’ve been to Daneland, but I don’t remember no hyoo-guh (but I’ll grant Her this – they did talk funny).

Smell the book and read the flowers.

Feeling safe in doors in a straight jacket being warmed by the thought of swimming fish…..

If he’s a Dane, where’s his melon collie?

What’s the Danish word for “DUH” …?

Always go forward, never go straight, always be ahead. Duh huh?

Outside, you are a fish in a tank. Inside, the crowd is confined and restrained. All nice and cozy.

With a book, blanket, warm beverage, cat (optional) and some mellow music in the background. But not Saturday mornings. Norman Bates Memorial Soundtrack Show. It’s on the internet.

Brain Freeze

Deutsch: “Gemütlichkeit” is analogous.

He’s snug inside a room with padded walls, I think.

I hyoo-guh you; you hyoo-guh me. That’s of course in the Italo-Froglandian dialect. Caution: it has been known to lead to kissing frogs (have you ever noticed the surfeit of princes in the world?). Someone should bind them in straitjackets and lock them indoors….

He’ll be sleeping with the Copenhagen mermaid.

HYOO-GUH …. Honk if you’re horney!

Physicists usually use Friedmann’s equations, which simplify general relativity, to describe how the universe expands. What Croker and Weiner realized was that extreme objects in space, such as black holes and neutron stars, had to mathematically be treated the same way as anywhere and anything else in space. Previously, cosmologists would gloss over anything that delved too deeply into these phenomena. That was evidently a mistake. There is only one correct way to pull off these equations, as Croker and Weiner found.

Who put his straitjacket on?
