So What Are You Complaining About?

So what are you complaining about?  You're a Homosapien.  What the heck do you know?  I'm living out here in a near-freezing cold pond.  The Fall leaves fell down and covered my house.  Do you think those Homosapiens would come out of their toasty warm home and uncover me?  No, they did not.  To hell with them,  I will show them.  I come from a tough line of Tommasos'.  We will not be defeated.  Soon I will go under the water and sleep.  I might move to Florida.  I only have to worry about the alligators down there.

Ohh Frankie...where did you go? Hello Tommaso!

Due to the slight possibility of copyright or trademark infringement, "Frankie's" name had to be changed.  Myself (and several friends) went through some 70 fictional frog character names, in multiple nationalities and different art forms. It's pretty amazing how almost all 70 names we came across, were already being used somewhere on planet Earth in books, toys and comic characters.

So to keep things non confusing and as close to remaining original as possible, "Frankie" is now "Tommaso" aka...Tommy, aka Tommy Guns, The Guardfrog.

One Small Step For A Man, One Giant Leap For a Frog: How I Made My Way to America

Hi.  My name is Francois.  But call me Frankie, because since I hopped over here to America many years ago, I have found Americans to be too lazy to properly pronounce my name.  Don't look at me so strangely.  This is my GuardFrog face.  For the first few months I was living for free in this rinky dinky, small pond (that clearly wasn't built up to my comfy specifications).  

I came here in 2010 a free frog, full of hope.  I didn't even need a green card, I was already green.  Then in 2016, you Americans got tough on immigration laws and I had to leave that big beautiful pond in Central Park, that some fools named "Turtle Pond".

I hopped into suburbs outside the city until I landed this tiny fake pond.  The owner hassled me to do some form of work in order for him to take care of the pond up to my European standards.  To get him off my Lilly pad, I promised him that I would croak "Intruder" or "Run Forrest, Run" if I saw uninvited guests, or burglars at his doors and windows.  I promised him anything to make him go away.

Listen, a frog who dances, sings, drinks and gambles has to have fun too?  I'm a real party amphibian.  Subscribe to me and help me pay for some flies and a heater for this pond.  Winter is coming and I hear fuel prices are going up.  That means this homeowner guy will be out here watching to see if I'm tapping his electricity with a pond heater.  😒

No worries.  I will be hot wiring a heater out here...😄
