Yo Carbon Based Inferior Life Forms,
It's me, the amphibian with an ego bigger than Dolly Parton's chest, the charm
of John Edward's smiling as he cleans out a corporations cash drawer and enough
sense to stay off the menu as NY eateries look for exotic things to put on their
menu while the Republican convention drags on later this month. I am Frogzilla,
the amphibian answer to Jaws and I am hosting the HCI Saturday August 7th forty
meter Net. So be there, lest you wind up on that menu under the category of
'side dishes'! Croak!
The pre-Net will commence about 12:30 PM EDT, (1630 UTC), right after the head
of lettuce extract I removed and slipped into the blind dude's iced tea with
lemon kicks in. There is an enzyme in lettuce that induces drowsiness, in case
the scientifically challenged among you were not aware of that biochemical
vegetarian trivia. So the next time you fall asleep while eating your lettuce
based salad, your face lands in the salad dish with a whump, fat free dressing
coats you like a beauty queen wannabe covering her beak with cold cream at
bedtime, remember to blame the lettuce and not the guy who is boring everyone
with his list of physical ailments and herbal cures!
If Mr. Magician is still snoring like a well oiled chain saw at 1:00 PM EDT,
(1700 UTC), I will kick off the Net with a web footed thrust and proclaim
Hallicrafters as the best thing to ever be invented, with the possible exception
of freeze dried pond scum. Croak!
The frequency will be 7.280 MHZ lsb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and a
stagnant water stirring rendition of "I'm In Love With A Big Blue Phrog" by the
sultans of folk music, Peter, Paul and Hairy. Or was it Mary? No matter, a great
tune that really gets your lily pads shaking.
So get your buttocks off the couch before those springs lose their sprung, warm
up those great old rigs, get out the 10X hand held magnifying glass so you can
see those numbers on the dial face without becoming cross-eyed and let's play
radio! So bring a piece of water cress to pass, a couple of your best fibs about
the old days and I will hear you tomorrow! Be there or be returned to the carbon
from whence you came. Croak! Chlorophyll can't be all bad, it's green! Croak!
