Ok...but what if I wear a costume?

Uploaded: October 29, 2009

Description

Frankie here. Yeah, yeah...Frankie the Frog (since I gotta use my full name). I think I'm related to them other guys...you know, Fred and Fritz. But I don’t know how. You might call me one of those doorstep babies. Someone wrapped me up in a big leaf and dumped me on the front porch of psycho Aunt Frances’ place, out in the middle of nowhere. I took outta there soon as I was old enough to hop and catch my own supper. Been livin’ in the city ever since.

Anyway, I’m freakin’ out here. The Frog X-Games don’t start ‘til 2012, but I feel the need…the need, for speed! Right NOW! Been ridin’ my skateboard every day, building muscle from leaf climbin’, and now I’m ready to kick some BUTT! Heard the Squirrel Olympics were gonna be in town next summer. That’s a whole year earlier than the X-Games.

Ever see those squirrels jumping from one branch to the next, tails in a tizzy, scramblin’ to hold on? I know I could score me a medal in that competition. Can’t none o’dem squirrels stick a landin’ like good ol’ Frankie can! And you know I know what I’m talkin’ ’bout!

You think if I found myself a fuzzy squirrel costume, anyone would know I wasn’t one o’dem stupid fuzzbutts?
