Was interviewed yesterday

Hey frog's legs are real tasty, there is a restaurant in Geneva that always has them on the menu. This reminds me that we need to run over to Fernand's restaurant sometime, been too long since we had escargot.

I was soured on frog legs about 20 years ago, cooked for breakfast by my friend's wife, who literally couldn't boil water. I've never reacquired the taste for them.

Which is a shame, as we have frogs around here which are as big as a dinosaur. I might just go out this summer and shoot a few.

Maybe if I cook them they'll be fit to eat.

One time, over 40 years ago, I was driving from Maryland back to that Hell-Hole, Ft. Jackson SC and stopped at a fried chicken place in North Carolina someplace, basically a fast food restaurant. Not only did they sell fried chicken but also fried frog's legs. That's what I had for dinner. They were great!

Oh, and I love snails too!

Gotta gig 'em, Chas.

I love frog legs as well as snails, although the appeal of snails may well be all the butter and garlic they're cooked in. Come to think of it, a used condom with loads of butter and garlic might be pretty tasty as well.

Nah, gotta use tartar sauce! Taste just like raw oysters that way!

I've never gigged a frog in my entire life.

When I was a Boy Scout, we used to go out, shine a light in their eyes, and club 'em with a 2x4. Damn mud flew 10 feet in the air.

And once I got not much older, I started using a .22. Pretty effective. Stingers pretty much hammer them, Yellow Jackets will blow them half way into the pond.

Fellow I know was telling me stories about when he went frog hunting when he was a kid. Said they'd shine a light in the poor frogs eyes, then open up on him with a couple of .22 automatics, a .410, and a .30-06.

But this is Bugtussell, like I have to remind anyone.

Would leaving a snail lying on the back seat of your buddy's car elicit the same response?

From whom? I'm trying to draw a mental picture of which one would freak out my wife the most.

You actually live in Bugtussell?
