Bucket o frogs™

Bucket o frogs™ by moriza.
Walking down Mott St. in Chinatown, NY
I bump into this bucket of frogs
Live frogs, hanging out
chillin...
waiting to be picked up
with the silvery tongs, then transferred into a plastic bag...

@Yasmina: hm hm hm I dig the french-style yeah...

@[CK]: Title dedicated to you my friend!
Woo Hooo... Thanks Chris!
I'll show you first, before posting...
here is what I am going to do:
1. Minimum digital alteration on your photo.
2. Print the altered vesion, most likely poster size... depending on how good the quality as it being blown up.
3. Paint, draw, scrible over it...
4. Take photograph of it ;)

Thanks Chris.

Froglegs are overrated. Tastes like chicken. Its like eating chicken wings, little bones, not so much meat. I dont get the hype.

Ha ha finally got couple of "taste like chicken" testimonial... Thanks Nico and Frozen Coffe!

@[CK]: Chris, thanks, I'll play with the largest version you got first. Once I print it I'll know if I need the originals. I appreciate this! :)

@primarita: Well of course.. cute food is becoming a trend ;)

@sweet877: not mine either, but neither as pet...

How much for 1LB? In Flushing $3.99. I have never had them, even though my friends tried feed me to them many times. They first described them as "Little human legs". Who can eat them after that description? :-) But I am really curious.;-)

Gabi, I don't remember how much they cost. But if I have the money i'd buy them all and let them go in some pond semewhere. Let them jump around freely with their little human legs...

Oh nooooo! I am for animal and reptile and bird rights but the froggies make a tremendous amount of noise, when they are in the pond and free and it's mating season you do not want to be anywhere near those ponds. :-) Let's keep the ballance. Besides more people have jobs: frog farms.
Love all your photos. The one with the balloons in particular.
