242.0. "The Official Frog Jumping Note" by GENRAL::WADE (Go Broons!) Mon May 21 1990 10:50

    This past weekend, a normal-sized 'merican frog weighing
    approximately 1 pound, overcame tremendous odds to win
    the national Frog Jumping contest held somewhere in Georgia.
    The competition the champion faced included the studly Giant
    African Frog contestants which can weigh upwards of 10 pounds.
    
    The winning jump measured 19' xx".  
    
    The trainer of the Giant African Frogs was heard to say after
    the contest <in the immortal words of Arnold>, "I'll be back."
    
    Apparently, some of the giant frogs could not compete due to
    their bodies exceeding the boundaries of the launch pad.
    
    Let's hear it for the good ole American frog whooping up on
    them furrener frogs! <clap, clap, clap...>

	Clay, that was teh Calveris County Frog Jumping Contest, and it was in California. the African Frogs were brought by a doode from up here Seattle way. Funny thang is, when he wanted to enter them, the organizers wanted to ban them, but he fought it and they were allowed to compete. I believe that record is 21' something. JD on Frogs
