$frogs$ (Oakland)
Looking for live frogs will buy what ever you can catch
I’m not going to try to catch a frog. I’ll NEVER get that stupid ringtone out of my head.
Thanks for the post, Dana!
Want a Not.A.Lion t-shirt AND a Llama-nun's Prayer mug? How about a Cat Math mousepad? Of course you do!
All are now available as t-shirts and other things! (The llamanun mugs contain the YSaC group prayer on the back.)

Was chauffeuring my nephew not long ago, and had to traverse a parking lot and multiple drive-through lanes. Which prompted a comment about “life-size ‘Frogger’.” Which reference, sadly, had to be explained. And did not really register until said nephew downloaded a Frogger game app . . .
Weird Uncle as source of tween entertainment–check.

I tried to explain to a 10 year old how the old dial ’em phones used to work. Her face just kept that blank look on it.
Explaining the 8-track is a similar struggle.
And TVs that you had to get up and walk over to and turn a knob in order to change the channel.
Dang kids don’t know how good they got it!
*shakes cane*
I spent ten minutes trying to explain to my nieces what “records” were. I was hampered by the fact that they are only vaguely aware of what a CD is, since all their music is in MP3 format. (I was finally reduced to describing them as “Kinda like a really big DVD, but with music on it instead of a movie.”)
Didn’t you used to have to watch TV shows when they came on over the…. cable? And if you missed it, it just sucked to be you? Man, that sounds awful.
FM, until today, I had one of those TVs
Ooh, and party lines.
Let him watch the George Costanza episode of Seinfeld where he tries to move the Frogger machine across the street to get it plugged in before the battery it’s hooked up to runs out and loses his high score forever. “Game over!”
Looking: for live frogs will buy what ever you can catch.
If the live $frogs$ are going to be paying me, should I just go straight to them and eliminate the middleman?
And what do those froggies who are rollin’ deep wish me to catch?
If it’s a falling star, don’t forget to put it in a bucket. If they want you to catch a tiger by the tail, I’d pass on that one.
Falling stars last longer if you put them in your pocket, then they’ll never fade away.
True, but that’s because they burn a nasty hole in your thigh.
Meh, I’ve got plenty to spare.
You have more than two?
Do the spares in the freezer count?
I like to keep an extra set of emergency giblets (hey, you never know when you’re going to need a gizzard transplant) in a plastic bag, tucked up in my…… well, never mind, but they’re safe and warm in there, that’s all that matters.
Well, yes, you should, but, you are not sparkii, either.
I’m still shuddering imagining the sorts of parties with amphibian licking there are; or of the “play” that requires bushels of frogs . . .
Good evening. On Ethel the Frog tonight, we look at the Oakland underground market in amphibians.
Oakland? Live frogs? Is he trying to control the bug population, or did he get the toad-licking thing a bit wrong?
Yes.
Suh-uhn…you lookin’ for dat frog? Just CHOOT ’em!!
Swampily yours,
Troy
Squee! Swamp people! Poor Troy, I want to buy him a new shirt, he wears that same stripey polo every show.
Admittedly, FM, I’ve never actually seen the show. I have seen the promos while watching some of my other guilty History Channel pleasures, i.e. ‘Pawn Stars’, ‘American Pickers’, and hubby’s favorite ‘American Restoration’.
I just saw the ad, thought of frog-giggin’, swamps, and Troy came to mind.
Fozzie bear is desperately looking for a new partner.
He’ll have to get in line behind Miss Piggy.
For a second I thought that said “Fonzie bear” and I got the giggles.
Ayeeee… Wokka, wokka!
That Happy Days ploy would really have been jumping the shark: a Muppets appearance.
All I caught were these warts…
Wow, I thought Doc Hopper gave it up years ago! At least Max isn’t working for him any more. Right? Right?
“So, how’s that plague work going?”
“Kind of hit a wall today. Ran out of frogs.”
“Did you try Craigslist?”
“Hmmmm…”
And here I spent most of last week and the holiday weekend collecting locusts!
It’s only around 125 miles from Oakland to Calaveras County. The $Prize$ for breaking the record is $5000. You can buy a lot of athletes for that, but most are not capable of getting a leg up on the tough competition. It’s not easy being green, eating flies and croaking early.
Exploring craigslist can be a ribbiting experience.
Although I spent my formative years in said municipality, I never had occasion to sample $frogs$ (Oakland). Rumor has it the dish was created by Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling on one of his rare visits to the colonies.
I thought of food first, myself. Frog legs rule!
Is $frogs$Oakland like “Surf Maryland” or “Ski Missouri”?
Why are there so many retards on Craigslist
selling stained naugahyde.
They earn our derision, with phony descriptions,
What’s Sparky have to hide?
So it’s been sold for free or some OBOs.
You’ll see Taco’s thong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the spelling corrections.
You’re kicking and screaming with me.
I’m pretty good at catching colds, what do you think Sparky would pay me for one of those?
It depends on how you gave it to him…
Well, my box is already R-rated…
And now I’m in the corner.
Puhleeeeeeease don’t talk about your R-rated box…..save that for Friday’s conversation.

If you never been frog kissin’…
I’m dorky enough to think about Cannery Row because of this post. And that Oakland isn’t far from Monterey. Maybe the poster is looking for Mack and the boys.
ghostcat, your powers of Snark are wicked and evil and stuff! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Oakland Froggers!
You have to be licensed to catch frogs in California (and most places). There are heavy restrictions on taking amphibians from the wild, around the country.
