The Uncle Frog Blog

The day was cold and damp. The yardwork debris can hold off enough day. As luck would have it, a fresh yet temporary blanket of snow would later cover up the unchecked chore. A perfect day for Uncle Frog to give the Bacon Explosion a whirl.

With two pounds of super thick-cut bacon and two pounds of freshly ground Italian breakfast sausage, how could things possibly look brighter? I know … cheese. Lots and lots of fancy shredded cheese. And a few slices of colby-jack to add to the celebrations. There is no better way to commemorate a milestone birthday than to put a twist on a Bacon Explosion … add cheese and it’s the bomb. A bacon bomb!

If you have six minutes, a love for bacon and want to see what I did yesterday, here you go:

Get in the groove with an R&B frog on the road as Road Frog sings his nasty tune. This creative video highlights a dirty mouth frog singing some hip-hop shenanigans on a raunchy road trip. The rubber frog lip synchs to this popular song. It’s actually quite humorous and entertaining.

Back when Uncle Frog first announced on the CafePress boards that we were expecting our first child, many of my fellow board friends created special avatars with frog themes in honor of the unborn child.  It was extremely touching to say the least.  Even more touching was when we received this Go Frog! design printed on a quality white infant t-shirt as a Baby Shower gift from this kind and generous shopkeeper.  We love the cartoon depiction of Uncle Frog holding his newborn baby frog-daughter.  How cute!!

Another fun and funny frog theme bib we received from our CafePress Baby Shower is entitled the Unhappy Frog Bib.  Our little tadpole is going to be so happy wearing this green and white bib given to her as a gift.  I’ll bet you know someone who would enjoy this as much as Uncle Frog and family!

Like you’d be happy if you only had flies for dinner. It’s a cute design for a baby bib, and hopefully you’re going to feed this baby more than flies. Cute gift for frog lovers.

As you all know, Uncle Frog is a successful designer of unique t-shirts, greeting cards and other merchandise.  One of the primary outlets we use to create, ship and service merchandise is CafePress.  If you weren’t aware of this, then I would like to invite you to visit the Uncle Frog Gifts & Apparel store.  In our opinion, CafePress is a wonderful company only surpassed in its wonderfulness by the many Shop Keepers that we have had the pleasure of chatting with online.

When we announced that we were pregnant (Mrs Frog more so than Uncle Frog, but I guess that’s what they are saying now-a-days) with our first child, there was such an outpouring of happiness from our fellow Shop Keepers at CafePress.  Frankly, we were overwhelmed.  Soon, many of the Shop Keepers were expressing their desire for our son or daughter (we know now she’s our daughter, but didn’t know the gender until birth) to sport some of their designs.  What an incredible gesture!!

Therefore, over the next multiple handful of days, we want to share with you the Baby Shower presents we received as gifts from a variety of kind and generous CafePress Shop Keepers.

Funny bug-eyed Frog t-shirts  and gifts. SuzyQ’s cute little frog shirts are fun to wear and give. Great gifts for your favorite frog lover or amphibian enthusiast. Pretty pastel green color, fun for adults and kids frog shirts!

So even your Uncle Frog can get stressed out every now and again.  The pressures of writing these witty articles for your reading pleasure, the stresses of the “real job,” caring for five hundred stray cats (ok, I made that one up), and raising a new baby daughter.  Sometimes the stress can get to you.  Frogs are only human, after all.

That’s why Uncle Frog likes his frog stress ball. The Blob Frog is an awesome stress reliever because you can stretch it, throw it, and squeeze it. The Blob Frog has a strong outer shell and an inside that pops out in color morphing bubbles when squeezed. For a ribbiting experience, grab one of these cool amphibians for your desk today.

The Blob Frog is about four and three-quarters inches in diameter.  It comes in random colors (which in my humble opinion, only adds to the stress … which color will you get?!?  but it doesn’t matter because once you get it, you can squeeze the snot out of it and all your worries will melt away).  I feel so much better with my frog shapped stress ball.  Whew!

Thin may be in, but fat is where it’s at. UncleFrog.net has a big selection of fat pride and fat joke t-shirts and gift items. Hear Uncle Frog’s take on what it means to be fat and how fat pride really is a good thing. In this video, hosted on YouTube, you’ll get to meet the world famous Uncle Frog as he, in his quirky way, explains the movitation behind the ever so successful Fat Pride merchandise line.

Three boys on a mild and tender spring day play gleefully with some frogs. Leap frog never seemed so interesting and engaging. The smile and squeals of delight as the green frogs jump hither, thither and yon. It reminds you of the childhood days you once had in a gone-by era.

But wait! Is that a deer foot in his hand? All the better to play with frogs. I can’t say I’ve ever played with frogs with a deer foot in my hand before. At least two of these boys in this video seem to have deer feet in their hands. Now, as the realization sets in the moods shifts from one of nostalgia to one of mild dread.

Nope. Frogs might cry, yell or even whine a little bit every now and again. But frogs definitely do not scream. UncleFrog, in no way, shape or form condones cruelty to animals. Frogs are people, too. However, I have to admit, this cartoon did give me a warped little chuckle.
