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."

The Frog has a camel toe.

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.

frog is probably just hanging out. doesn't really look all that stressed to me.

Cool.....but still not the image that comes to mind for "sticky fingers".

My caption would be "I've got a good grasp of the situation!"

Any of you guys eaten frog? I've heard it tastes like chicken.

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.

i'll never forget one of my high school science teachers vomiting after opening a vat of "preserved" animals. just the thought makes me quiver.

I've always wondered.... People say frog legs taste like chicken. At 8-9 bucks lb., why not just eat 1.79 lb. chicken?

I had frogs legs once. They were on the menu of a fancy restaurant, and I'd never had them before. They were delicious, as I recall. But so are chicken wings. Chicken wings are much cheaper. I'll probably never order frogs legs again.

There was a great exhibit of frogs- mainly Poison Dart frogs- at the American Museum of Natural History a while back. This little dudette looks much like one species that stays over the pond when laying eggs. I wonder if that's what this is about...

Some of them can be seen here:

Some of them are washed out because I photoshopped & uploaded them before I realized I needed to replace my monitor...it is getting darker and darker
