11/26/2005: Hanging frog



I dunno, maybe I should have saved it for a Friday image, but I don't have any information on it and it's more just a strange shot than anything else. There's a "hang in there baby" sort of quality about it, more than a mind-boggling quality about it. And yet you have to admire the beast's flexibility, and determination in the face of a difficult situation.

Not to be too anthropomorphic, but it certainly seems to have a big ass grin on it's face. You could put that picture on a T-shirt and write a pretty good caption.

"Top of the world, Ma!"
"I am the KING of the jungle."
"Here I am, baby."
"How's THIS for frogs legs."
"It IS easy being green."
"Once you've had green...."
"Miss Piggy my ass. Come here baby."

Are you sure? I'm not an expert, and I assume everything on a frog is watertight, so I can't tell if it's male or female.

It's not about what it has, it's what it looks like.

Those eyes look as if they're squinting a bit, and you may be mistaking as a grin what is really tight-lipped concentration and determination, plus, of course, this is very reminiscent of the French squat position. Don't suppose there's a follow-on picture with a small pile accumulated beneath the little fellah....?

Well, CapnHowdy, I saw it, and I couldn't help it. It was like I was possessed or something.

i've had frog legs before. a bit like chicken in that they don't taste like much. i wasn't crazy about them, they looked weird and not enough meat to be worth the trouble.

I associate the taste of frog too closely with the taste of formaldehyde to ever try it.

No, I haven't ever tasted formaldehyde, but as we all remember, after the frog dissection class, you just can't get the smell out of your nose and it transfers to EVERYTHING.
