The frogs are kicking out a memorial dance party:
"That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a
Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight" - MJ

Vanessa seems like a crackpot to me. Bob will have a LONG life filled with love and CROAKING? Seems like she's giving mixed messages...

The group is shocked when Claude mysteriously appears, suffering from amnesia although otherwise healthy. He remembers nothing after leaving class last Thursday...

The real question is how Lilith will react to all this...

Kim Flippin at 9:35am June 23
Ed has a good point. You should get a German Shepard...

I really don't think we could handle 8 big dogs.

Sweet Jesus - there are EIGHT African Dwarf Frogs in the trifle dish...how did I miss this?

Because they breed like...like...frogs? Or math is not your long suit? Or there's a cyborg infiltrator, looking for John "le frog" Connor, leader of the future frog resistance against...oh, never mind.

Cheryl Farnum Rendino at 6:57pm June 22
Now wait just a minute. I'm so confused, there are so many characters in As the Frog Turns, I don't know if eight is MORE or LESS than you expected!!!!

Sarah McGinnis at 7:07pm June 22
Read on...I've changed the title.

Cheryl Farnum Rendino at 7:11pm June 22
Did Claude come from a Froggy bar, perhaps? Or maybe from a plane which broke apart in the sky? Drawn to the trifle dish by a mysterious electromagnetic force?

You aced your writing class in elem school, but flunked math?

Sarah, you haven't changed much with your humor in all these years...hilarious! I'm enjoying your soap opera!!!

Cheryl Farnum Rendino at 1:34pm June 20
I can imagine Sarah's early grades report cards... "Sarah has a... ahem... um... vivid imagination."

Cindy Schoenfeld at 1:45pm June 20
Yah, for sure...I bet she got an "A" in writing!

On today's installment of "As the Frog Turns", Marjorie appears to have shifted her affection from Bob to Julio. Emotionally devastated, Bob attempts to jump out of the tupperware container. Lilith tells him to not be such a pollywog. There are other frogs in the pond.

OH MY GOD! BOB CANNOT kill himself over that tramp!

Cheryl Farnum Rendino at 7:24pm June 19
Little does Marjorie know, Bob is a prince in disguise. What a dimwitted wench.

Conrad Boucher at 7:32pm June 19
Poor Bob. It's not easy being green.
From Facebook, June 18, 2009:

Today, on "As the Frog Turns", the 4 frogs came back to us, along with one more buddy. African Dwarf Frog Total: 7. Bob is happy, but the rest are still nameless. The guinea pigs feel quite superior.

I hear frogs taste like chicken.....

Sarah McGinnis at 3:01pm June 19
These might taste like really tiny chicken.

Ahava Java at 5:52pm June 16

Conrad Boucher at 8:14pm June 16
Sounds exotic. What are their names?

Sarah McGinnis at 9:36pm June 16
Haven't named them all yet, but the one that almost got away is Bob.

Cheryl Farnum Rendino at 9:43pm June 16
I think if you have a Bob, you better have a Phil.... there ya go, name them after the punch lines to jokes about men's names.

Conrad Boucher at 8:09am June 17
How about posting a pic and then take suggestions from your FB friends? Sounds like a party!
