I'm not kissing that.

So THAT's why I can't understand my frog! He's speaking japanese!

Mushrooms are not usually part of a frogleg dish. This is a problem.

Key quote: "Two of the five dead frogs were kept as pets by a couple in Tokyo..."
You know, once they're dead, they're a LOT easier to manage.

Dead Frogs Throw No Pies

Frogs are actually considered to be good luck in Japanese culture. I guess it wasn't too lucky for the frog.

"The frogs die of dehydration in the water."
Sounds like a good reason to drink!

Can I just say how exciting it is to get the coveted Trifecta?!
I'd like to thank my family, & my boss, who has no idea how little work I actually do on a daily basis.
And Dave, for encouraging the intellectual endeavors of this

Good night, everyone. I will see y'all in 51 hours, with appropriate beverages and snackables.

Chytrid fungus......I bet they got it from Twitney. She'll put anything up there.

Jon, we bow orientally, before you! While we are down there, we grab the cuffs of your sweat pants and 'pants' you, as we know that's what you're wearing in your Momma's basement!
Posted by: CJrun | January 12, 2007 at 04:35 PM
Woo-hoo! 51 Hours!! We should make a television show, 51. Only nobody gets shot in the thigh; instead, Percocet is randomly administered to bloglits, and the ensuing hillarity is followed, hour-by-hour.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 12, 2007 at 04:36 PM
And, just in case anyone feels the need for more numbers, here is an ample supply, courtesy of the random article I just read in the Wikipedia.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 12, 2007 at 04:38 PM
Hour 1: People giggle and stumble.
Hours 2 thru 51: Everyone sleeps.
Posted by: Punkin "you got a friend" Poo | January 12, 2007 at 04:42 PM
Er, a revision, then. Each hour, a random bloglit is dosed with Percocet, and the rest of the bloglits point and laugh.
Posted by: Clean Hands | January 12, 2007 at 04:43 PM
And I still keep thinking that the top of the page says,"Call your vegetarian now."
Pass the Percocet, & a bottle of fine red wine.

OT Alert?
I just received, in the mail, my new Driver's License.
Never had to go to DMV, or anything else. What does this all mean? Well, for one thing addle-pated drivers from round the world can get there Florida Driver's License through intranet tubes!

Hooray for jon! And hooray for only 51 hours! CH, I think you have a great idea for a show. You should pitch it to Fox.

YAY for jon, again!

CH? can I be the taser-wielding-chick on "51"???

Posted by: Siouxie | January 12, 2007 at 05:00 PM

wonders where she can purchase frog fungus for use on local hideous frog population.
Posted by: crossgirl | January 12, 2007 at 05:17 PM

OT Alert:
Thanks to everyone for the hugs and well wishes. My brother-in-law is doing fine, for the shape he's in. Although people coming out of anesthesia are very funny. He was talking about some guy who was coming to see my husband about a painting that Mr. Ducky supposedly has for sale.
Posted by: Just Ducky | January 12, 2007 at 05:27 PM
Ducky, quick while he's woozy- steal his cake!
cg, yepper. However, it wasn't a trifecta so I don't have to pants myself!
Posted by: CJrun | January 12, 2007 at 05:32 PM
I just checked and I have about a dozen Percocet left. By the time I finish them the pain will have subsided and it's unlikely I can convince my doc to prescribe some more. He keeps telling me to go to the "pain management center" instead of taking all those pills. I sincerely think I deserve at least another 20 or so -- isn't everyone entitled to a little "recreational oversupply" as a reward for dealing with the boo-boo that got you those little blue yummies in the first place?
Posted by: Nebbisk | January 12, 2007 at 05:51 PM
Sorry Nebbs, you only get those until you're capable of your first recreational thought.
Posted by: CJrun | January 12, 2007 at 05:57 PM
We'd better alert Keroro Gunso. If here anyone knows what I mean by that, I'll eat my hat.
