| | The Frogster Gets Snarky | | 2007-12-20 08:29:27 | | I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation from Neva aka Snuppy aka CIA Special Operative #4T39BT4 (everyone already knows about the last one, right?) to post over at The Central Snark, so I did. Check it out. It’s about fruitcake. It’s funny. Thanks, Neva.
After reading some of the comments on my post over at [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |

| | Blogger, Myth, Legend: The Frogster’s Early Years | | 2007-10-05 09:00:47 | | Since my blogging fame is spreading far and wide, I figured it was only fair to throw a crumb to the masses clamoring for a morsel of Frogster info. I’m not just an astonishing success when it comes to blogging. No, no. I have been on the cutting edge of many fields throughout my legendary life. Over [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | The Cyberdyne Systems “Frogster” Model | | 2007-09-23 20:42:35 | | Well, I’m back. I don’t really know where to stop with thanking you for the cool comments on my last post, so I’m not even gonna start. But I am most grateful. I will give a special thanks to Bobbarama for bestowing upon me his “Best Kept Secret” Award. It is proudly displayed on my sidebar. [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |

| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 6 | | 2007-08-08 15:58:24 | | Fact numero seis about me is that I can give myself hiccups on cue. There is a spot on the right side of my jawbone which, when rubbed, causes me to contract a case of the hiccups. I have diagrammed the exact location on my niece Kira in the picture below.
I used a picture [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 5 | | 2007-06-12 16:45:53 | | Fact 5 about me is that I always, always, always wear shorts if the temperature is above 40 degrees fahrenheit (for my European readers, that’s 4.444444444444445 degrees celsius (formerly known as centigrade)). 4.444444444444444 degrees celsius would be iffy, and 4.444444444444443 degrees celsius is definitely long pants weather. This leads some people to think I am [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 4 | | 2007-05-29 18:11:32 | | Fact 4 about me is that I LOOOOOOOVE icy pops (those Flav-Or-Ice things) in the summertime. I was fortunate to go to Costco and procure 200 of them for a mere pittance (that’s my way of saying I don’t remember how much they cost but since I was at Costco they must logically have been [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 3 | | 2007-05-16 15:09:52 | | Fact 3 about me is that I dream in color. I know this because of a recurrent nightmare I had for a few months when I was 12 or 13. I’ll outline it below, but I must warn you, it’s scary.
I was sitting at the kitchen table having dinner with my family at our house [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 2 | | 2007-04-25 01:13:18 | | Fact 2 about me is that despite the best efforts of television commercials, I do not believe that the type of car you drive makes you cool. I believe that if you are cool, your car sort of absorbs your cooness via osmosis and becomes cool. Remember what Fonzie said? He said, “It’s not the [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | 100 Frogster Facts- Fact 1 | | 2007-04-23 16:36:14 | | I’ve seen a few blogs do something like this, and some of the lists people put together are fun to read. So I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and venture into the mysterious realm of, ah, me.
Fact 1 about me is that I remember at least a couple of dreams I have every night. [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | The Frogster Interviews Pacman | | 2007-04-13 06:00:02 | | I’m a big sports fan, so I stop by some sports-related sites from time to time. Having read all of the news recently about Pacman’s suspension, I thought it was my journalistic duty to interview him and see what his side of the story was. This was easy, because he lives near The Frog Bog, so [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | | Yet Another Chapter in the Storied History of The Frogster | | 2007-03-23 17:55:55 | | I wasn’t always a blogging genius. No, no. I have been on the cutting edge of many fields throughout my legendary life. Over the last few decades, I have excelled in almost everything I have done. Don’t believe me? Well, here’s proof:
Well, well. Looks like the old frogster has been a celebrity for the last 23 years. [...]... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | Goodbye for a Week and The Frogster on Skis | | 2007-02-16 00:11:14 | | I must now sadly bid you adieu for a week. I’m going to New Hampshire tomorrow to visit my brother and sister and nephew and brother’s fiancee and sister’s boyfriend and brother’s fiancee’s kid and brother’s fiancee’s other kid. No, they don’t all live together. Anyway, I’m staying with my brother, and he’s got dial-up, and given my personality, I imagine that I could just spend hours cursing at his computer instead of visiting with my family. Bad timing for the blog, because I just entered the world of “blogs linked to by other blogs” at Technorati, but I’d rather make the week more enjoyable for everyone.Â
Yeah, I know. Now I’m gonna get a lot of spam comments from high-speed dial-up providers. That’s fine.
Anyway, I hope that this is only goodbye for a week, and not forever, because there is a chance that the frogster might wind up on a pair of skis with my brother, sister, both, o... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | The Frogster’s Continued Continuance of the Continuing NFL Playoff Picks And My Last Post Ever About Election 2008 | | 2007-01-22 10:17:15 | | Well, I went 1-1 this weekend, which gives me a 6-4 playoff pick record. The average of the “Expert” pickers at ESPN over the same period is 5.888888888 wins, which, pending the outcome of The Super Bowl, makes me an expert. Therefore, in an attempt to solidify my status and enshrine myself as one of the great pickers of all time, I will spend the next several days carefully analyzing the relative strengths, weaknesses and injuries on both squads before making a decision. Nah, since I can’t sleep I’ll just take an insomniac’s whack at it.
Colts over Bears. Lock it in, dial it up, send it home to mother, etc.
On the way home from my sister’s place (which is close to Philly), the radio stations I get on the car radio fade in and out, so I spend some of the time “seeking” while driving when I leave my cool Sirius receiver at home. On one AM station, I think it was 770, there was a talk show about the potential presidential nomi... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | The Frogster’s Continuance of the Continuing NFL Playoff Picks | | 2007-01-15 07:52:00 | | As Saturday ended, I looked in great shape for a 4-0 weekend. Sunday, however, I rolled a squadoosh (I have never seen that word written down before, but this is how I imagine it should be spelled). However, that puts me at a 5-3 record for the playoffs (with the Patriots accounting for 2 of those defeats). The average number of correct picks by the experts at ESPN is 5.1111111111111111111111etc., which means 1 am only .1111111111111111111111etc. away from being a certified expert, at least by ESPN’s standards. I’m gonna go against the Patriots again, because, as the Hobbits kept saying in The Lord of the Rings series, including the charming intro The Hobbit, the third time is a charm (or maybe they said the third time pays for all. But I know they said something like that, and since I can’t sleep, I may just watch The Fellowship of the Ring after finishing this post, so the reference is appropriate to my life). Anyway, my picks:
Colts over The Frogster... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
| | The Frogster’s Continuing NFL Playoff Picks | | 2007-01-08 16:34:59 | | I went 3-1 this weekend, and I agonized over the pick I got wrong for a while. I thought the Jets could go back to Foxboro and win. I was incorrect. The Expert picks on the ESPN site averaged 3.33 wins this week, so I’m a little behind the 8-ball. But I will make up for it by correctly picking all of the winners for next weekend. Absolutely. Guaranteed. No sweat. I promise.*
*The Frog Bog, owners of The Frog Bog, employees, wives, children, relatives, friends, people who went to my wedding, people I used to play in bands with, people I bumped into on the subway when it swayed back and forth and any future children that may be the result of any as yet unrealized couplings of the list of above individuals accept not one iota of responsibility for these picks.
So, with absolutely no doubt and complete clarity, the winners for The Divisional Round (Jan. 13-14):
Chargers over Patriots
Saints over Eagles
Colts over Ravens
Seahawks over Bears

2. Brett Favre will return to the Green Bay Packers and lead them to an 11-5 record.

8. “Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End” will be the highest grossing movie, and it will be coooooool.
9. One of those weekly entertainment magazines will run a story about how a Hollywood actress is too fat, then 6 months later run another story about... | | By: The Frog Bog | | |
