"It feels like they stole one of our family members,"
My daddy was a toad, I know just how she feels...
OK..I took it. I'm going to put it under the arch on August 22, the day we are suppose to all see Allah.
Well, maybe I didn't take it, but someone should send these people some new family members.
Check the french restaurants for giant frogs with prosthetic legs.
Anyone check the road for splat!! marks?
Rather than taking it, I would have deflated it and stretched it across a couple lanes of traffic!
THAT would have been cool....
F5! Haven't seen you for awhile. Now I remember why I used to wonder about you...
Hope you're well, buddy. Have you read any of Ridley's non-Barry-co-written books?
"What do you really do with a 30-foot-wide frog that wears sunglasses?"
Oh, dear. Is that a question you really want to ask on a family station?
This little froggy went courtin’
This little froggy stayed home
This little froggy had sunglasses
This little froggy had none
And THIS little froggy went PSHH! PSHH! PSHH!, all the way home.
what the hell am I supposed to do w./ that frog now, huh? they've plastered it's picture all over the internet and I will never be able to put it in my front yard...
Guess I'll have to try and find him a good home... keep an eye on ebay if you are interested.
-Free
But my Giant Frog doesn't wear a prosthetic leg, BB!
Kourou frogs excepted, MiK ;)
Jamester! Nope, haven't read any of his books. I'm trying to get the nerve up to buy some.
Glad I've tittled your sick side ;-)
Boo, your Cruise Director Supremo writes ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to fabulous and exotic (Dead Parrots Society) Prime Crime blog. Please mind your step as you disembark; I believe someone spilled some butt butter on the gangway. Ted McGinley will be taking snap-shots throughout the excursion. You can preview the shots tomorrow morning beginning at 10:00 a.m. on the Lido Deck.
Please remember these eight simple rules to make your stay safe and pleasurable:
1. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. We don’t know where it’s been.
2. Respect the native culture no matter how silly the names sound. Do not poke the natives with a stick or offer them food. Make Fearless LEader proud.
3. Keep your valuables securely stowed and fastened betwixt your ramparts at all times to reduce the threat of pick-pockets. If you do not have ramparts with adequate storage capabilities, pair up with a rampart buddy and share.
4. If Charo is your designated tour group leader, please carry extra bail money, net and tranquilizer gun with darts. You will most likely need them.
5. Talk Like a Pirate Day was September 19. Further gratuitous use of pirate names and/or pirate speak is just stupid. Stop it now.
6. Stick to the post at the top of the page. Don’t make us come looking for you. Extraction costs are not included in the shore excursion fee.
7. (Monty Python) French references are quite obvious. References to (Dead Poets Society) Prime Crimes do not require much depth either. Please use restraint.
8. When shopping for local crafts and souvenirs – bead necklaces, reed baskets, velvet Elvis paintings and Jesus-Virgin Mary-Last Supper images on lacquered driftwood – your are expected to bargain. It is an insult to the vendor if you pay retail.
The (Love) Terror Moat resumes (sets sail) promptly at 9:00 a.m. EST (because that’s the only time zone that really counts). We don’t intend to send the chopper back for any stragglers so keep up with your respective tour group.
Dead Parrot Society ... good times
Frogger anyone?
Heard the one about the scientest that trained his frog to jump on command?
Cut off one leg and said "jump frog, jump".
The frog jumped 1 meter.
Scientest writes this down and cuts off another leg. Says, "jump frog, jump".
The frog jumped .5 meter.
Scientest writes this down and cuts off another leg. Says, "jump frog, jump".
The frog jumped .25 meter.
Scientest writes this down and cuts off another leg. Says, "jump frog, jump".
The frog doesn't jump.
Scientest says again, "jump frog, jump".
The frog doesn't jump.
Scientest writes down, "Frogs with no legs are deft."
... shucks, you did?
Deft or deaf, kibby?
Wooohoo! All ashore that's coming ashore! The Dead Frogs (wbagnfarb) Road Trip and Blog Invasion has begun!
Also - not to suck up or anything, but I've read every single Ridley book that I can lay my hands on. Kibby - do the libraries in Prague have a lot of English language novels? (I tried to search it online for Ridley's novels, but my Czech just isn't holding up to the challenge.. I couldn't find anything) I'll check my bookshelves and see if I've got one I can send you - I might have one or two of the earlier ones.
Bottled water? Check.
Ramparts? Check.
No feeding the natives? Check.
No pirate talk? Check.
No French jokes? Check.
*boards, waits for ship to set sail*
Road Trip!!!
Kibby, you want to look for the early Ridley book where they take over a huge shopping mall.
And the Lou Boldt series.
"ribbit!"
English books in library's? HA! I'm lucky to find English books in a book store.
Me and Amazon have a close relationship. Except Amazon.uk considers shipping to Prague like shipping to Mars (PA). It's not part of "Europe".
... go figure.
... guess that would have been "deaf" - and here I thought I was SO GOOD ...
YAY! road trip
I'm currently 3/4 of the way through beyond recognition. It's pretty good.
One of the books I ordered a while ago is "Peter and the Starcatchers," by the way. It will definitely be the first book I'll read whenever the order arrives!
Kibby, I share your pain. You should be glad you're not farther away than you already are, though. Here the shipping charges are astronomical.
We don't pay tax, thank goodness, but a lot of the time the customs charges can be a pain in the arse.
/end whine
But I thank all that is holy for Amazon and the Fnac.
Oh, road trip to Ridley's BLOG. No wonder he looked so surprised when I dropped in this morning.
Nice jammies, though.
Oh, and ribbit.
(go Pioneers!)
Did anyone think to pack the you know what?
I just finished Peter and the ShadowThieves. Now if they would kindly get another one published soon, I'd appreciate it. Not that I'm impatient or anything like that.
*sighs* I ~heart~ road trips.
Sly, got the Leetie Head? Think it would REALLY shock him to leave a few staked about.
MiK, inside EU customs shouldn't apply to you. Does it?
Amazon just includes Czechs as "part of the rest of the world" when it comes to shipping charges. Even though their warehouse is probably in Germany. Many times my book prices DOUBLE because of the shipping. Dublin's cheaper.
LOOK! A toad!
This place is nice, but it's not been properly Booger!ed.
A Ribbit! is not equal to a Booger!
BOOGER!!!
CAR!
... yep, Blue's right. A good BOOGERing is needed.
Anyone got warts yet?
*taptaptap*
Is this thing on?
*peeks in*
Looking over the rules list, I'll note I have storage space for valuables, should anyone need it.
That is one huge frog.
My head hurts.
*wonders if Leetie's pain has anything to do with her post*
If so, MiK? Any recommendations for her?
*wonders if Ridley gets a notification in his email everytime a new post is.. posted?*
If he does, it's gonna sound like a mariacchi (sp?) band has taken up residence in his pc.
Ridley and Frogs and Road trips, Oh my!
Has anybody tried kissing the frog yet? To see if he turns into a prince?
Why does "kissing the frog" sound like a euphamism?
as we are currently taking the jaunting tour, hopping around all over the place on topics...
I just found a new author, Tim Dorsey, new book on paperback is Torpedo Juice (third in a series that starts "Stingray Shuffle"). The main character is a sort of Psycho-Spree Killer, social activist, in a sense. Made a mugger swallow a bunch of bullets and then put him into an MRI...
Swallow bullets? ugh.
Ok, that's it, I'm making breakfast. Spam and eggs, anybody?
I'll have the spam spam spam spam eggs and spam, thanks neo
*falls on floor laughing*
At some point later today, someone will understand why.
Spam me!
*perks*
*serves up a giant bowl of scrambled eggs and a heaping platter o'spam, shaped into little frogs legs*
Come and get yer eggs n legs!
bwuah!
Bwuahaha!
Ha!
lol!
rotf!
lmoa!
lmfaoqrs!
etc!
*helps herself to eggs*
*grabs a leg*
*runs>>>>>
*finally checks her email*
*snorks*
Did we giggle like mad when we opened it?
We still are. *smooch* Thanks! I think.*giggles*
we thought you was a toad.
Oh brother, where art we?
I feel asleep on the poop deck.
Again.
I've read The Putt At The End of The World.
Collaborations count right?
Kissing the Giant Frog is a BIG no-no.
A regular frog, well, OK.
Maybe I should make spam spam spam spam eggs and spam for lunch.
anyone else read the Lemony Snicket series of unfortunate events books? I'm on the 12th one. I really like how they're written and quite a few snork worthy bits. I do feel like a bit of a tool walking into the children's section of the library with a conspicuous lack of child though
Did anyone bring a gift for our host?
*brings frog legs for Ridley*
I also ordered the first three Lemony Snicket books, Trillian. I've been very curious about them for a long time now.
I read all the Lemony Snicket books several years ago, and my daughter has part of the series. I enjoyed them.
I did not link Lemony. Too dang depressing.
oh shoot
link = like
Anyone wonder if Ridley's going to think his blog is possessed?
Well, all your blog belong to us....
Just Dave Barry's MOATies (yes, we of the Giant Leetie Heads) making a road-trip to celebrate this new bloggy goodness!
MiK - I don't like SPAM!
ribbit ribbit ribbit
Higgy, dear, let me cook you up some nice Crunchy Spamburgers for lunch; that'll change your mind!
Ridley, would you like some as well?
Who was Anon? because the whole bullets/MRI thing is sheer brilliance in terms of torture!
I'm late, but are they still cooking spam? Because I'll have some spam, spam, baked beans, and spam.
Just in case Ridley wants to Join , I jotted this down.
Gee, aren't I a gentleman?
The best things in life
Are Spam and Frogs, Frogs and Spam
Road trips are fun, too
well, and there's that whole penis thing.........
well, and there's that whole penis thing.........
They are a lot of fun...
*starts packing the tour bus*
Well, I have to go out in 5 minutes, so I thought I'd get in early.
Has anyone noticed that this blog clock is REALLY wrong?
I mean, not even close!
Riddley doesn't realise that the Dave Barry Blog Time Zone is the only time zone that matters? he has a lot to learn about this blogging thing
oy. There's only one d in Ridley. sorry!
Hmmm, do you think Ridley could miss "64" comments in this string? Not a word from the tyke...
Prolly on the lam with the giant frog....
Re Kafeleni: Anon twas I... I didn't have my login...
It was pretty sweet though, how the author had the cops coming up, finding the murder victim shot to death, obviously, but couldn't explain the lack of entry wounds.
Tim Dorsey "Torpedo Juice" named after a one part everclear/three part red bull Florida Keys drink...
LTTG, but I'm here too!
Hi, Ridley! We're from the DB blog. Does that tell you everything you need to know about us? :)
