Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 19, 2016

You’re in for a special, special treat..Special. As in species-specific. As in, not for human consumption.

And remember there are no fees for parking at Fjord Applause .Just follow the freeway past the last award-winning fiddleybitto Slartibartfast Lane and the pickling factory.After that, just follow your nose to the front door.

Pokémon head out of fjords vater hole.

…party harty…

That’s why I always come back in a different disguise. Free lutefisk every day!

Not a Peace Prize, though.Pointing out that there is not enough thermal energy to transport the amount of water needed to create the glaciers to carve the fjords is not going to win you any friends in Oslo.

Velkommen ain’t Norwegian.

That goes right up there with the Longhorn™ billboard I saw years ago. A large 3-D billboard with bullhorns protruding outeach side! Any of you posters driving along the highway or back roads ever saw that? No joke!

My favorite part was Fisk is free (I didn’t even know he was confined)

But is the lutefisk fresh? Is there a way to tell?

Everything I know about lutefisk I learned from Prairie Home Companion.

Norwegian Fjord Horse, with bunnies.

Unless the booze is free, there’s no way I’m touching the lutefisk.

I think I’ll skip Fjord Applause and proceed directly to Frog Applause, thank you. The Old Wolf can have my share of lutefisk….

Darn. I was expecting those recipes to end with throwing out the fisk & eating a plank. Oh, well.

I prefer my fish deep-fired and beer battered.Perch or bluegill will do.I raise a glass to absent friends.Some of them leave a heck of a landscape behind them.

Reminds me of a “Simpsons” episode where the family traveled to Europe and the people there only drove Fjord Fjiesta cars.
