Frog's House of Infinite Wisdom

I'm writing from the front seat of a passenger van as the girlfriend and I make our way up to the Final Four game in Indianapolis. Our first leg starts in Atlanta, where we drop off one rental car for another, get about five hours of solid shut eye, and then back to driving. Twelve (or more) hours of driving from start to finish, one way.

I don't know how these truck drivers do it. I'm not even driving and I'm exhausted. Anybody got some speed I can take?

I was second row with my girlfriend and she and I made sure that the players, Villanova fans and members of their band all knew that we meant business... especially after their fans did the Seminole Chop!

The result?  Gators cut down the goal and Noah does a fantastic victory dance!  Check out the pictures.

The girlfriend and I bit the financial bullet and decided to fly to Minnesota to watch the Gators at the NCAA tournament... and it turned out great, except for the flu I've had the whole time. Click here to see the Gators pull off the big victory!

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) -- Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said Wednesday. The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck. Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkenness, Beck said...

On the Berkeley campus, a PETA display comparing the lynching of blacks and the holocaust to animal testing caused an uproar when black students confronted the demonstrators.

PETA put up the display at UF a few weeks ago, but beyond a few minor comments in the student newspaper, there was no controversy. I found them personally deplorable for several reasons. My initial reaction was disgust at comparing the murder of southern blacks to cattle. After that, I was disturbed by the holocause images juxtaposed with images of sheep or some other animal group. Finally, an image of a goose having food rammed down its throat with a thick wooden dowel was shown, which is allegedly how goose liver pate is developed.

I understand and respect anyone who is a vegetarian, although most I've met look terribly unhealthy (with a few exceptions). I think animals are great, especially when they aren't wanting to wake me up at 3am. I can almost believe - and can understand how others can fall for - some of what PETA offers up as fact, but they have a large agenda that most people aren't aware of, and that's "total animal liberation". This means that animals should not be kept as pets, for instance. So, you out there, with the cats that you pamper and spoil and brush and essentially treat better than your kids... PETA thinks you're scum.

They are also huge hypocrites. This website gives detailed information (including disturbing pictures) about how they treat animals at their headquarters. Please note that I warned you about these pictures, which is something that PETA would never do, as they prefer to ambush children with their horrific propaganda.

UPDATE: My veggie-lovin' friend Fuzzcat was quick to challenge my statement about the health of vegetarians. Let me go on record by saying that Fuzzcat is the healthiest vegetarian I know. He also has questionable taste as he actually reads this horrible blog. Oh, he also spotted a spelling error.

Here are some pictures from the Jacksonville portion of the NCAA tournament. For some reason, I didn't take that many. I must have been too engrossed in the action.

For those who are interested, I have set up a Frogbrother-centric bracket site on Yahoo.com.  All you have to do is register and enter the following information and you can enter your NCAA Basketball picks and compare your selections to others that read this site.

Go to: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com and after you've registered, you can enter the private group called "Frog-etology" and enter the group ID# 67949 and Password gators.  It's that easy!

I barely fit in the frame!

I guarantee this is the next internet "thing"... enjoy.

SomethingAwful.com has put together a "Comedy Goldmine" of terrific altered covers of those Choose Your Own Adventure books that I grew up on. If you don't know what these books are, then you're too f*ckin' young to be viewing my site.
