Frog Pepper : The Green Pepper That Looks Like A Frog !

George Corneliussen

In the comment section of " The Face Of Morning Coffee"

/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976733805

I mentioned that about five years ago we got a bag of green peppers from a local farmers' market, and when we inspected the peppers after we got home, we were surprised and stunned to find that one of the green peppers looked like a frog head.

In a moment of inspiration, we decided to name the pepper " Colonel Beauregard T. Frogpepper" for no other reason than to be silly. We then posed the Colonel with a few objects around the house and took some pictures, again just to be silly.

Anna Q. made a request to see the frog pictures in her comment to the " Morning Coffee" article. After digging through a box of pictures that was in no way, shape, or form labeled, I was able to unearth the shots of the good Colonel.

So here are a few of the "silliest" ones. Do they make a point ? Gee, I hope not.

It's tough being green

Stephen,
Maybe we should have sent him to college then he could have been Dr. Pepper.

George, these are so funny. Budweiser is missing a star!

Laurie,
Green Beer for St. Patrick's Day, you may have something there.
Susan Reynolds Mar 4, 2006, 4:19pm UTC
This is funnier than my monkey mail. Drat!
George Corneliussen Mar 4, 2006, 4:45pm UTC
Joyce,
Thanks we're big fans of the decour ourselves. Maybe someday I'll post some of those pictures. We have a house full of things we bought for next to nothing and fixed or cleaned up. It's a blast doing the house up that way.

Amy,
The Colonel would tip his hat to you if could.
George Corneliussen Mar 4, 2006, 4:49pm UTC
Heather,
The Colonel on a runway with a shoulder-bag ? Might have to glue the bag on.
George Corneliussen Mar 4, 2006, 4:50pm UTC
Susan,
I don't know, monkey mail sounds like it bears investigation.
George Corneliussen Mar 4, 2006, 4:55pm UTC
Anna,
We tried to preserve the Colonel, but he ended up looking like one of those frozen corpses they dig up on a Nova special. You know like,
"The Lost Pepper Man Of The Alps".

Anna,
No problem, glad to be of service.
Sandy Knauer Mar 5, 2006, 12:50am UTC
Cute. I laughed harder at each picture, imaging how much fun you must have had posing this pepper all over the place. Nice name. I have a friend who named a body part Beauregard, and that's the only other one I've ever known. Hope he doesn't see this and get ideas about sending out pictures.
George Corneliussen Mar 5, 2006, 7:31am UTC
Sandy,
Thanks ,the Colonel was literally an example of homegrown humor.
Susan Pattishall Mar 5, 2006, 10:03am UTC
Hi George,

I will somehow be standing in the supermarket . . ., but thanks for the cute story. What a find. 10.
George Corneliussen Mar 5, 2006, 10:08am UTC
Susan,
You can almost hear the Colonel singing,
" I am the walrus, I am the eggplant"
Dawn M Mar 5, 2006, 9:50pm UTC
LOL Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Bonnie L. Mar 6, 2006, 1:39am UTC
LOL! So did you ever eat it? I can't imagine you could save it for very long without it rotting.
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 6:04am UTC
Dawn,
Thank you, glad I could share them.
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 6:06am UTC
Bonnie,
No, we couldn't save the Colonel. He only lasted a week, or so.
Enoch Allen Mar 6, 2006, 6:54am UTC
Your stories really are so much better with pictures.

And God, you crank these kitties out fast. You must have graduated from the Sadi Polizzotti speed-writing workshop.
Kathryn Flynn Mar 6, 2006, 7:04am UTC
George, this is TOO funny. Loved the piece. Too bad about the demise of the colonel. But that's the life of a vegetable.
Cat Givens Mar 6, 2006, 7:45am UTC
Very fun stuff! If you'd have eaten him he'd have just tasted like chicken anyhow. I'm wondering if your wife kissed him?
Serina Matteson Mar 6, 2006, 8:06am UTC
This was great. Quite the imagination.
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 10:06am UTC
Enoch,
It's more like the Zombie Island School of Writing.

Kathryn,
Better to have posed and rotted than to have never posed at all.
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 10:08am UTC
Marcia,
Thanks !
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 10:09am UTC
Cathy,
She gave him a "look".
George Corneliussen Mar 6, 2006, 10:10am UTC
Serina,
Glad you liked it !
jessie voigts Mar 10, 2006, 11:36am UTC
george - do you know those people that take the veggies that look like something, and put them into kids books? oh, i forget the name. they are so cool. this guy belongs there!
George Corneliussen Mar 10, 2006, 3:11pm UTC
Jessie,
Sounds like a peach of an idea.
