They sure "licked" that frog problem.

Was this one of those lickable amphebians? If so, I can understand the fuss.

Couldn't read it. Kept getting distracted by other items on the page . . .

... uh-huh ... how about England sweet azer nut. Ace striker ready to fill his boots ...
and then of course, there's the intriguing useage of camouflage by Jodie Marsh, for all the hunter-type persons out here ...

Canned frog?

They didn't mention if Fergus was "knee-deep" in water...

Was there an article on this page besides the 'Top 20 Viral Emails' button? I had a, um, difficult time finding it.

Frogs got knees?

D'Art' --
Oh, yeah ... lotsa good stuff ... you gotta learn to be really discerning and selective in your pursuit of the latest newsworthy stuff ... just sayin' ...

*Jack rewires the remote to enable the disabler override for nuclear meltdowns, and prepares to save the world, or at least the parts we care about*
"Jack! Drop everything!"
"What is it, new person introduced into the plot for no apparent reason?"
"A frog."
"Pierre is here?"
"No, a real frog. It's stuck in a can."
"Call the fire department."
"I...erm...why would the fire dept. care about a frog stuck in a can? It's not on fire. It's stuck."
"Well, set it on fire then. I'm busy here."
"You're sick is what you are."
"Fine, you help the frog."
"What's so damned important that you can't help this frog?"
"Dammit! You just made me blow up Philly. I love Philly. Well, I used to. I'm telling you, if you and your frog don't get the hell out of here I'll shoot you both."
"You're moody."
"I'm not having a good day, okay. Besides, how do you suppose the frog got into the can?"
"I don't know."
"Well, if the frog got himself in, he can get himself out."
"Fine. If those nuclear power plants got themselves into danger, they can get themselves out, too."
"Good point. Let's go get a beer."

You're sick, is what you are.
LOL!

Fergus: I am free! Free! Free! Free!
Hops along unsuspectingly.
Free! FR(squash)
Firemen: I guess we should have released away from the traffic.
Posted by: opiesgirl | March 29, 2005 at 11:06 AM
They cut off Fergus's SPOUT? That's a little EXTREME, don't ya think? Poor Fergus.

Guin, I bet it's the "Page 3" content that got you firewalled. Those Brits have got topless babes in their newspapers. I think I'll go have a Wilsford.

Interview on news after rescue:
Newscaster: Mr Fergus, How does it feel to be out of that can?
Fergus: ribit ribit ribit, i was chasing a fly, i thought i would make it in, have you ever tasted a fly that's just been on dog pooo. it's the best, well worth the trouble.
Newscaster: That's understandable, even we humans get into that kinda predictament. Star Jones was stuck in a drive through window of McDonalds chasing a greasy fry.
Fergus: ribit ribit ribit. Yea she's a hottie. I really have to get going . . but i would like to thanks these 9 firemen for lending me a hand. They are very smart firemen. Really on top of things.
Newscaster: Thank You Mr. Fergus. Back to you Mr Rather.

Hasn't anyones before said, "...we have real challenges and real problems in the city, and this is not one of them."?
Na, didn't think so....
Suppose the firefighters called 'dibbs' on the legs for dinner?
Headlines:
Appetizer rescued from sprinkler head!
Posted by: kibby F5 | March 29, 2005 at 11:39 AM
brrpppp
And I suppose all those MANLY MEN are quite proud of themselves.
Neighbor: So, how was the day at the station.
Manly Man: Tough one mate! We rescued a frog from a water sprinkler.
Neighbor: Ya mean a Frenchie?
Manly Man: NA! I mean a F-R-O-G. Like Kermit.
Neighbor: YOU RESCUED A WHAT!?
Manly Man: A frog.
Neighbor: snicker A.. snicker oh, man THIS is too good! Wait till the guys down at the The Bird in Hand hears of this!

*no offense towards French folks that, by the way, LOVE a good set of legs - like any of us do.

It would have made a better tongue-twister had there been five firemen.

What they need is a Tasmanian Frogs Coordinator.

Meanwhile ... an elderly woman nearly dies in a kitchen fire. Police believe the fire started when the woman became startled after finding a frog hiding in a box of baking soda in her refrigerator. The victim screamed, throwing her dishtowel into the air and onto the lit stove, where Ms. Hufergardenflop was melting marshmallows for the rice krispy treats she planned to make for her grandchildren. Pierre, Ms. Hufergardenflop's son, captured the frog and disposed of it by stuffing it deep inside his neighbor's watering can.
You know the rest ....

Not that I noticed, but I think the girls of the "Top 10 virals" must have been hanging around with Janet Jackson.

Oh my god. That has got to be the most boring town in the world, and I thought my town was bad where the law inforcement sit around the country roads waiting for people to speed. Nine people? Isn't fire an issue? Lol! It's so funny, really!

Speaking of major motion pictures...
Okay, so this is off topic, but I just had to share. You know CBS? The fine network that brought you Spring Break Shark Attack? (Which, btw, had way too much spring break and not nearly enough sharks attacking.) Well, I just saw the promo for their next telecinematic masterpiece.
If you can hear the buzz, it's too late.
Locusts!

tried to post a story about live frogs in salad in an airline meal, and your blog police told me that the BBC website is 'questionable content'....i guess the herald just doesn't see eye to eye with the beeb's editorial team.....
