I guess my invite to Frogs on Farms Field Day got lost in the mail.

is there a Frog Co-Ordinator's Association of Australia? Inquiring minds want to know

"World Wildlife Fund Frogs on Farms Field Day"
I will spend the rest of the day trying to say that three times fast. Or, come to think of it, three times slow.

How does one get to be a Frog Coordinator? I want to coordinate frogs for a living.

*dusts off resumé and puts in application to be Everglades Frog Co-ordinator*
I'm not sure what the pay is, but the job title alone is worth it.

What does a frog coordinator coordinate?
other than frogs?

What does a frog coordinator coordinate?
other than frogs? I'm confusing myself...
Posted by: Rebecca | September 12, 2004 at 02:35 PM
sorry for the double post. my computer has been acting up ever since the frogs became uncoordinated.

I had a friend who accidentally signed up as a volunteer for the World Wildlife Fund.
It was by accident though.
He saw the WWF and thought it World Wrestling Federation.
They kicked him out once he did smackdown on a panda.

hey, thats right.
is it even kegal to share acronyms?
shouldn't that violate some copyright?
Posted by: Rebecca | September 12, 2004 at 02:44 PM
This is a very important occupation -- 'cuz, you know, the last thing anyone wants to see is clumsy frogs.

I think that "The Tasmanian Frog Coordinators" would be a good name for a rock band.
Posted by: Babs | September 12, 2004 at 04:02 PM
My guess: Tasmanian Frog Coordinators hold a shiny black wand and direct Tasmanian frogs to do the "Bud" Weise" "ERRR!" routine, only in Tasmanian for Tasmanian beers. or perhaps not but I'm just trying to help.

I think that frogs are one of the last animals that need to coordinated. The frogs in my area are very coordinated, both socially and physically. Now opossum, that's a whole other story. Someone needs to coordinate their asses off of the highway and back into the trees. The same with squirrels, the squirrels in my area lack even the basic coordination skills and just seem to be aimlessly on the look out for acorns. Unfortunately, most of the tress in my area do not have acorns. A few pinecones maybe, but no acorns. On the other hand, the racoon coordination skills put the mafia to shame. No trashcan is safe in my neighborhood. Even the stray cats come by and shake their heads at the destruction.

I coordinate random fires.

who co-ordinates the co-ordinators? and who would co-ordinate the senior co-ordinators? and how far up the chain would you have to go before everybody was co-ordinated... or there was someone co-ordinated enough that they didn't need supervision?

'World Wildlife Fund Frogs on Farms Field Day' wbagnfa Beatles nostalgia album.
Don't misunderestimate the power of coordinated frogs. If you were to put 1000 coordinated frogs in front of 1000 typewriters in a room, eventually they would produce the script for a Presidential campaign speech somewhere in a swing state.

Rebecca - not too many years ago the wildlife people sued the wrestling people over the WWF thing. Wildlife won, Hence it is now WWE for the wrestlers. Dont ask me what the E stands for I don't know
And now a haiku:
Tazmanian Frogs
need some coordination
who wants the job, you?
Posted by: MadScientist | September 12, 2004 at 05:29 PM
I thought about majoring in "monitoring frog practices" but my rat bastard college counselor steered me amiss.
Posted by: philintexas | September 12, 2004 at 06:11 PM
If, as Corn implied, frog coordinators teach them to be less clumsy, I hope that there are also frog ettiquette teachers and other staff for a Frog Charm School. Otherwise, what's the point?
Posted by: J in NZ | September 12, 2004 at 09:25 PM
i didnt know that frogs were uncoordinated -- will they be learning to dance, or what? devil of a job in tasmania.
Posted by: queensbee | September 13, 2004 at 02:58 AM
Sounds like a job worth applying for! Where do I send my resume?!
Posted by: Shari | September 13, 2004 at 06:05 AM
They need a coordinator for bad French people in Tasmania??
What will they come up with NEXT?? the EB.
Posted by: EB | September 13, 2004 at 06:18 AM
Do Tasmanian frogs move everywhere as miniature whirlwinds too? I can see that a co-ordinator would be required to control that.
*wonders if basing view of the world on Looney Tunes cartoons is possibly leading me awry*

"TASMANIAN farmers learned the importance of ... frog-awareness...
They were keen to find out...reap the benefits frogs can provide..."
I find that I am lacking in frog-awareness.
I want to reap frog benefits.
Where do I sign up?
I am keen.

Oh, Judi, I think you need to clean up the mess in here.

Although they are preferable to rump hangers that cover only the legs of boxer shorts.
