TMA as a research tool
Feb 15, 2017, 15:42
Further to a discussion on another thread, TMA is now so vast that you can find almost anything on Google by searching "Modern Antiquarian" and the subject. Keen to demonstrate I tried "modern antiquarian" frog and landed on this beauty from Rhiannon:

"There is a frog minding it. One time a man brought a black cock and if he killed the frog he would get the gold. He brought the cock and set him fighting with the frog but the cock was not able to beat him. Another man brought a cock but the cock was unable to beat the frog. So the gold is said to be still there and the frog is still there minding it until the present day."

Any other offers? There's a prize for the most unlikely.

Sadly I'm not finding any newts to go with your frog. Plenty of dogs.

Talk of cheesegraters reminds me it's worth rejoicing in the fact TMA contains a link to a song pointing out the difficulties involved in buggering a hedgehog....
