It's definitely here.

[El Tigre]

Go watch TV or something Dave. Only Loosers like El Tigre are on the Internets now!

[Dave]

You can't be serious! TWELVE NEW KINDS OF DUNG BEETLES, and you think I can watch TELEVISION???

[Dr. Rickenstien]

Have they given the little buggers a Suriname yet?

[Dave]

Also: It's "losers," not "loosers." Not that I'm saying we are either one.

[mm]

you and me ET, just we three

[mm]

those purple frogs must be producing a powerful amount of poop...just sayin'

[Dr. Rickenstien]

:-D* That is all I had to add to the conversation.

[TNjen]

That frog looks like an eighties fashion flashback.

[Dr. Rickenstien]

TN, after 10-12 years do ya think it might request to be recognized only as a symbol?

[Meditrina]

Uh, yeah, we are loosers.... and the later the hour, the looser it gets.

Doc, your wound healing? ;-)

[Siouxie]

Dave, maybe you can get one of those cute little dung beetles for Sophie. You know, to take her mind off Preci's passing.

[TNjen]

and give up it's suriname?

[Dr. Rickenstien]

Doing nicely Med! Although, the late nite blogging nearly killed me this morning going back to work and all. heh!

[Siouxie]

Surily you must be joking, Rick!

Hi Med!!

[Dr. Rickenstien]

*snorks at TN and Siouxie! Grabs ice cold glass of tea and 14 Tylenol for the headache due to lack of sleep*

[Siouxie]

It's those alkyholicks that keep you up all night at the blogbar, Rick. Shame on them!! ;-)

[Lairbo]

I never saw a purple frog;
I hope I never see one;
And I can tell you either way;
I'll surely never eat one!

[Annie Where-but-here]

I never saw a purple frog;
I hope I never see one;
And I can tell you either way;
In Suriname there'll be one!

[Dr. Rickenstien]

Is it ok to lick them tho? And I bet dung beetle tastes really well with a couple of slices of rye and swiss.

[AFKAT]

well now, given that it us Saturday night and all, I thought it might be appropriate to share this musical offering that has the added benefit of helping all keep up with, errrr, current events...

[SW]

'SCUSE me, while I KISS this frog
Dya dya dya, doo doo DUM, doo doo DUM
deedle deedle deedle...

[Bethie]

I can only imagine what this find might mean for mankind!

[Punkin Poo]

"I'd like to try on that amphibian, but can I get it with dots instead of stripes, please? Or perhaps a nice mauve? Oh, and some strappy dung beetle sandals!"

[Just Ducky]

A purple frog in Suriname
Is the latest new science phenom
With color fluorescent
And manner quiescent--
Somehow, I’m reminded of Strom.

[Punkin Poo]

Is frog skin very stretchy? I wouldn't want to ribbit.

[TNjen]

Pardon my abuse of the apostrophe above. I am ashamed, as I was an English major, for all the good that has done me.

*grumbles bitterly*

[Ross]

Wow! A frog that is fluorescent purple BEFORE you even start licking it!.

[SW]

I'm so small but here I am
Nestled here in Suriname
'Tween Guyana and Brazil
Come here doll, give me a thrill
I've been feeling oh so tense
Hold me tight you little wench
Oh, please, stay in French
Guiana.

---apologies to Paul Anka and the rest of you who have no idea what I'm talking about

[SW]

Hey, check out the paramaribos on that tall and tan and young and lovely girl from that little beach town!!

[Dr. Rickenstien]

Only in this blog would you find a Paul Anka song parody nestled within a thread about purple frogs and (Not 1 But) 12 new dung beetle species in Suriname. Ok, maybe in Bindi Irwin's, but definitely not in the States!

[SW]

"...12 dung beetles, and one ant species..."

An entymomogist's dozen?

Out, over and.

[SW]

Entymologist's.

Fudge.

[Dr. Rickenstien]

I think I'll pass on the Etymologist’s fudge. Doesn't taste quite right after Surinamese purple frog soufflé.

[CJrun]

Oh yeah, the guy with editing privileges makes a spelling joke...cheater!

[TNjen]

I've learned a lot about herpetology and entomology from the Blog.

I can't say that I've learned a lot about Paul Anka, not yet anyway.

[Scarsdale Ramada]

Yes Dave, you should be watching television. Here's the latest Paris update:

Paris Hilton has issued the following statement:

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge.

This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter, but important lesson from this experience.

As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

I must also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

[Siouxie]

she can write???

[Dr. Rickenstien]

I was about to say the same thing Siouxie, although in a far more insulting fashion than you.

[Dr. Rickenstien]

And when did her publicists become so dumb as to think she gives a rat dog's ass about anyone in the military? Didn't these people go to college to get this kind of gig?

[CJrun]

Scar, I don't know what you '...had done by the media...,' but note that it was in a thread about dung beetles. I also note that S(tevie) is off his meds, so it may be a normal Saturday night....

[Jeannie]

I'm quite sure that Paris doesn't even know that she sent out this statement!

[Dr. Rickenstien]

*I'm quite sure that Paris doesn't even know that she sent out this statement!*

Jeannie, I'm quite sure that Paris doesn't even know where she is tonight! If she is still as whacked out as she was yesterday, I'm betting she is either sitting on her cot and swaying side to side with a blank stare on her face or the jailers have loaded her up with valium.

[AFKAT]

I'm shocked that she didn't include, in her statement, her wish for world peace and greater advancements in quantum physics...oh, and more puppies to make the world a happier place...

*snif*

[W]

She's got better speech writer's than I do!

[CTProf]

wow... power leveling dude has a new schpiel... great.

[Paris]

Mommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[TNjen]

Do we look like we give a crap about power leveling?

[Dr.Rickenstien]

*2. 40 Lvl Mount*

I don't know what that means, but if it's what I think it is, I may visit that site after all.

[CTProf]

You may be on to something there Rick.

[KentuckyFilly]

Rick, unless you play computer games, that is not what you think it is...sorry, man

[Dr.Rickenstien]

Maybe Prof! And I would be willing to bet Paris will be checking it out as well when she gets sprung from the big house.

[LaWanda LaKeesha Jones, Paris's's's GF]

*SMACK*

shaddup byotch!!!

[Dr.Rickenstien]

well dangit, I was SO getting my hopes up to KF! Oh well. At least I will always have Paris!

[Siouxie]

Do I need to get my kick@ss boots tonight???!

[Bethie]

I am neither a Sir, nor a Madame, sir.

[KentuckyFilly]

OTOH, if you are a gamer, you may have a hard-on by now ;-)

[GungaDan]

Them silly Suriname-ums. No one there noticed a frog with fluorescent racing stripes and 12 kinds of dung beatles? What did the think was happening to all the missing dung?

[Dr.Rickenstien]

*Looks at his last post...remembers that it is past 9 o'clock and he is due to take his meds right about now!*

[Siouxie]

Hey Prof!!

Filly?? how ya doing???

[CTProf]

Hiya Siouxie! How ya doing tonight?

[Siouxie]

I'm good! Girls are sleeping over at their friends' house...so I'm all alone and ready to chill with MY friends ;-)

[DeskDiva]

Hey, y'all! It's the regular crowd here again tonight! How're all y'all doin'?

Filly - feelin' any better today?

I am getting SUCH a gas (NOT "such gas") reading back on this thread. I'm thrilled to have such funny friends!

[CTProf]

*Gets Siouxie a Kamikaze to help her "chill"*

[Siouxie]

I's all's is doing great! I give hearty *ribbitsnorks* to all the wonderful lyricists!!

[CTProf]

Evenin' Diva! Can I get you a drink?

[Siouxie]

yummmmmmy! thanks Prof!!!

*takes boots off & sits at the blogbar*

[CTProf]

Ok guys the boots are off... a few more kamikazes and we may even get her to drop the machete.

[Dr.Rickenstien]

Hey Prof, let me have one of whatever the Diva is driking tonight. Unless it's some fruity wine cooler or something of course. :)

[Dr.Rickenstien]

Of course I meant *drinking*. Must have left the Paris Hilton Spell Checker on by mistake.

[DeskDiva]

Nope. No wine coolers fer me. I'll take a mojito. I am HOT and need something to cool me down!

[CTProf]

ALRIGHT! I happen to make a mean mojito.

*whips up a couple mojitos for Diva and Rick*

[CJrun]

After a long telephone conversation, I think female horses should run in Triple Crown races, but we probably shouldn't let female horses have phones....

*ducks*

[CTProf]

Female dogs either CJ.

[Siouxie]

*SMACKS* CJ!!

[Dr.Rickenstien]

*ROTFL at CJ! Ducks by the new mechanical bull he had Mert install today!*

[Siouxie]

CJ?? have I formally introduced you to Prof??? he be my friend.

[DeskDiva]

Excellent, Prof!! I'll take the meanest mojito ya got.

[CTProf]

My son and I just planted some mint today, he doesn't know it... but that's for mojitos! :)

[DeskDiva]

Yum! Mint is a MARVELOUS thing. We have it growing wild in our front yard we discovered. Love it!

[CTProf]

Yep! I actually have quite the nice herb garden going right now. Makes cooking a little cheaper and a little more convenient.... not to mention just better.

[Siouxie]

Mechanical bull??? Dibs on the first "ride"!!!

[DeskDiva]

*ducttapeducttapeducttape*

[CTProf]

*changes name to Mechani..*

nah that's not gonna work

[Siouxie]

Diva...you know my motto..."Save a horse...etc", but I'll try the horse for now ;-)

[ScottMGS]

*holds hands in shape of a stirrup to help Siouxie onto mechanical bull*

[Dr.Rickenstien]

You have to put the kick@ss boots on before your allowed to ride it Sioux!

[ScottMGS]

AND a simul!

[Siouxie]

*SNORK* @ Prof!!

[CTProf]

Hey Scott! How ya doing?

[ScottMGS]

Hmm... If those are kick@ss boots maybe I don't want to handle them.

*puts gloves on*

[Dr.Rickenstien]

*hopes Blurk is paying attention to all of this somewhere and laughnin' his ass off!*

[ScottMGS]

Hi, CTProf. I'm doing pretty well. I've got a bit of a red neck sunburn on my neck. My oldest daughter and I walked on the beach this morning and took pictures of tide pools for a school project.

[ScottMGS]

SWeep!

[Siouxie]

Scott!!! LOL thanks...I think!

*puts her boots back on...and cowgirl hat*

*straddles the bull*

WHOOOOOOOAAAA!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

[ScottMGS]

SWeep!

[ScottMGS]

*dang bot mutter mutter*

[CTProf]

Sounds like fun actually Scott. I love doing stuff like that. Unfortunately my sunburn came from cleaning out the kids' pool today... such fun.

[ScottMGS]

It was, Prof. I haven't been to the beach in a long time.

[ScottMGS]

Insom is speechless!
