My new concrete Froggie The Gremlin has settled into my study comfortably, in a corner by the window and in my clear sight from the study. I watched Froggie when he was on the black-and-white show “Andy’s Gang,” Froggie taunted the pompous and vanished at will.
I found him at Jack’s Outback shop on Main Street, of all places, and didn’t recognize him at first. Then it all came flooding back. I am very happy to have him here, and I had a good round of haggling with Jack (who wasn’t sure who or what he was) and ended up buying him for $150. I consider it a steal, that is, if you want a big concrete wise-ass frog in your office.
Plunk your Magic Twanger, froggie. I should say that some of the kids who watched had prurient things to say about the “Magic Twanger,” but not me. Froggie was always a hero to me.
I do.
You are just a bit older than I am Jon, and I remember “plunk your magic twanger Froggy” but not the actual show. That is so very cool. Can’t help thinking he came to help you chart your next journey as a truly independent writer!
Or more likely, to poke fun at me…:)
Lordy, he looks like he has always belonged there. Has Fate made friends w/him yet?
I thought it was “pop” your magic twanger, Froggie”
No, definitely not “pop,” sometimes “Twant” sometimes “Plunk,” you can hear it on the You Tube Videos
