Frog-gigging

[Mycanid]

Hiya shroomster.

Yeah. . . it's nearly 2 P.M. here, not so much the morning. Say hi to the hive for me.

Got any frog haiku for us?

Ah ha! I can't believe I forgot! One of the most famous of all haiku was written with a frog in it! Bad fungus! Bad!

Here is the text in Japanese:

Furu ike ya
kawazu tobikomu
mizu no oto

Here is a translation (there are many attempts ... this is considered one of the deepest haiku poems ever written by Matsuo Basho):

Breaking the silence
Of an ancient pond,
A frog jumped into water —
A deep resonance.

There's a slew of different translations and curious commentary on it that can be found here:

Enjoy!

Silly fairy, you don't eat squirrel brains like a runny egg. They're more like a honey packet. You crunch the skull, spit out the bone fragments, then
*SLURP*

Or you, know. Whatever.


hafrogman has never eaten any brains of any kind.

Not even crawdads? Or crawfish as they say in some places.

Nah, I don't really relish the idea of eating anything that has more limbs than I do. Down with crustaceans, insects, octopi, squid, etc. Creepy crawlies != food.

Hey frogman ... morning. Ya see the frog haiku in the frog giggin thread perchance?

Yeah, I saw it. I was perusing the explanation page. It's quite deep, and probably a fair bit beyond me.

So, this thread seems to have lost a little of it's life without Krunchy alas.

New topic time.

I bought myself one of them there community supporter accounts. What should I make my custum user title? I was considering "oh the frogmanity" but it's kind of long. Any thoughts?

Never been gigged.

 

[Mycanid]

Never been gigged.

Excellent choice!

 

[hafrogman]

It is indeed a grand suggestion. Exactly the same length, but still a much better option. I'll see if anyone else comes up with anything, but I'll probably end up with that.

I know you didn't just suggest that we need Krunchy in order to be spicy...

What can I say? Fourthmeal has taken over my mind.

He's Krunchy
You're spicy
My jokes are cheesy
...
Now all we need is melty.
