Next time post the article. You can only open that if you create a NYT account. Hmmmm- you're not working for them, are you?

Very funny story. Unless, I guess, you're the one with the frog in your salad.

LLindaC, you can register to read the NY Times website for free. Many people post links here to those articles. I think there are rules against posting the whole article here on the message board.

LLindaC-

INext time post the article.

Actually, Nikki's right; cutting and pasting copyrighted material (which that AP story clearly is, is not permitted).

Suppose, before you post here again, you read and familiarize yourself with the rules prior to being so quick to post snotty comments?

Was it the whole frog or just the legs and back?

If just the legs and back - yummy! Better than crocodile any day!

It was not a snotty response- I was joking. testy, testy! LOL.I post here quite a bit. I am not registering with them unless I know they won't give out my email to other places. Here's the story from an Australian paper- no registration needed.

I registered with the NYTimes giving my *real* e-mail address quite a while ago, and have not had any increase in *junk.* They say they do not give it out. But with other publications, I give a Yahoo e-mail address, and you don't have to worry about your main address getting junked up, just in case.

My sister hates to fly. She's coming to Chicago from California this Thursday. I sent her the article to cheer her up.

kikahead:

uh-oh busted: she was sitting in first class, so she had already downed her complementary glass of champagne and could order anything else she darned well pleased to go with her tree frog, oops, salad!

Now, back to my trip planning. Leaving in two weeks to go across the Pacific pond, but not to Australia, so no Australian tree frogs for me this trip. Can't afford first class anyhow.

rahmanbar: thanks for a good laugh to start off the morning!
