We can be sure his body paint is impeccably applied. Just keep him away from ginger.
You begin flying with a full bag of luck and an empty bag for experience. The object is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

A few years back I bought a dozen of those bullfrogs. I was traveling home from Texas. While stopping for fuel I saw a man with a truck full of them. So I bought 12 live ones for $15.00. I wanted them for my garden pond. Wow they were loud on summer night.not some weak rebbit but a loud grwung. One day I saw one run across my patio and jump. When it landed it rolled a few times. Once he got stopped I saw a mouse tail sticking out from his mouth. Holly molly it eat a mouse. The frogs disappeared after hurricane sandy.i never saw them come spring time . I think an early snow storm right after sandy got them.

Yeah, but it may be that Mary Ann was actually the wild one.

Disney started with a mouse. I started with a frog that eat a mouse. I had a garden railway named Frog Pond & Pumpkin Patch. It was a twice around an 8x10 pond. I wanted frogs. All i could ever find were these little tadpoles that grew into little frogs. Then one day while getting fuel on rt 10 Mississippi. I saw them. Frogs so big. Bigger then any i had ever dissected . The owner of the truck said i had to buy 12. He said. " he only has 100 and would be paid less. If he went below 100 count." So the deal was struck for a dozen @ $15.00. It gets better. He says "i should keep them wet and cold". Otherwise they will not make it back to Pa." He and his friend help me get a few boxes out of the trash. I then place all my old clothes on top of the boxed frogs. A few bags of ice split up per box and i'm good to go. Well until 1400 miles later when my wife gets a glimpse of my laundry.

Now I've got a hankering to hop on down to Doc Hopper's from some french fried frog legs......

Frog legs, frog legs, frog legs so fine!
Hoppers is the place you should dine!
There's cheese legs, bacon legs, chili legs too!
French fried frog legs just for you!
If you want just a snack then here is the one,
a Frog Leg Burger on a bright green bun!
