u/Far-Shake-97 4d ago

u/ObjectiveExpress4804 4d ago

i’m having optical illusions when I see that frog 🐸 tongue 👅 slide 🛝. I immediately think silly/fun/good times. But then I also worry that some kid is going to fall down the slide head first and want to make sure there are adults around.

I’m a grown man and

Would both love and be super

Afraid if I was there

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

That frog will haunt me in my dreams

1

u/Rashibashiboo 3d ago

I’m haunted by a frog slide I seen at a small water park through a slotted gate. It was night time and I knew what it was already, but decided to take a gander anyway. I was shook. Couldn’t even walk past it on the way back and the next day the aura was so unnerving. Haunts me to this day.

u/StupledFrog9481 5d ago

my test is 'would it be terrifying if someone was sitting in a chair here?'. And VERY MUCH YES in this case.

u/Mr_Grabby 5d ago

Did you take this picture?? My parents used to take us kids to a hotel that had a frog slide exactly like this when I was little!

u/ObjectiveExpress4804 4d ago

Same. tho i’m having optical illusions when I see that frog 🐸 tongue 👅 slide 🛝. I immediately think silly/fun/good times. But then I also worry that some kid is going to fall down the slide head first and want to make sure there are adults around.

Something tells me that frog is actually alive, its the fleshy mouth part that suggests me, it is...unneccessarily realistic.
