The Polo Mint Adventures Part 5: Louisiana Museum for Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Here we are again, Polo Mint Lovers everywhere.

This set of Adventures comes from Denmark.

At the Louisiana Museum there was an Exhibition called 'Pop Art Design' which was very good -- but not easy to Polo Mint.

(Go on...ask why a Museum in Denmark is called 'Louisiana'?)

Here goes...

Thank's for the tip Val and a great song MomKat! I'll mail my asches in an envelope (my lawyer will mail it) to Louisiana, that way it will at least hit the floor before being vacuumed. Who knows, I might end up in -What did Mrs. sip boy!

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Bravo MomKat! Your talents are wasted here. You should be on the SSN (Silly Songwriters' Network). The challeenge for participants therein is currently to write a song using English County names ( Yorkshire, Lancashire, County Durham, Cumberland,  Buckinghamshire, Essex, Sussex, Middlesex -- stop Val! that's quite enough sex for the SSN) that can be sung to Perry's tune

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

What did Dela wear?

a New Jersey...

Why did Cali phone ya?

To say Oh Hi oh....

What did Mrs. sip boy?

She sipped a Mini soda!

Where has Ore gone boy?

She went to pay her Texas :-)

How did Wiscon sin boy?

She stole a New Brass Key...

Too bad that Arkan saw,

and so did Tenne see!

It made Flra die...

she died in Misery.

And this song makes me illl in oy..vey!

Original song  sung by Perry Como (do I remember? Ha!)

Monsieur Eraser, a Guerilla Cemetery Performance could probably manage to get your ashes (assuming, of course, cremation) buried in Louisiana. To get a coffin buried there would be somewhat harder to arrange unofficially. (I would, of course, like to help you on this, but as you are considerably younger than me, I will have gone..;somewhere...before you do)

You could always say in your will that you wanted to be buried in Louisiana,&  commit suicide there in a spectacular fashion in such a way that your wishes could not be ignored;

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Suus...MomKat(erina) found the answer.

Louise, Louise, and Louise.

You'd have thought that when Louise number 3 came along that this guy would have thopught 'Enough!'

It's all a bit like Rod Stewart's wives and girlfriends all looking the same over  a 40+ year period.

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Googling it is cheating!

What would have happened if his wives had been named South Dakota, North Carolina and Mississippi?

Do you remember the song 'What did Delaware'?

You could Google the lyrics of that too.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Fantastic blog, my dear Valentine xxx

So amazed that they allow you to take photos...and photos with Polo mints :-)

Super!

Oooooh, how I loooove Giacometti. Must put this museum on my bucket list,

also must put Denmark on my bucket list. My greetings to Henrik and his wife xxx

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Hahaha...ask "which Louise"???

I asked Google :-)

"The name of the museum derives from the first owner of the property,

 Alexander Brun, who named the villa after his three wives, all named Louise!!!

[Eraser Heed]

The nicest museum ever! Louisiana is the contemporary museum that will "heal" anti-art lovers, my next project will be an application to be burried in the garden. The danish is quite open minded so maybe my wish will be granted. A mint flavoured dirt...

We'll have to ask Louise!

[Suus in Mokum]

Fantastic, again. But Val, why is a Dansk Museum called Louisiana? Tell me, please.
