Teeny Green Bloop

by Meg on June 9, 2006

Teeniest of green globules, Lil pudgle McFrogersons has perfectly tucked feets, and then…

Bloop

WHAM! The scale of a man-hand shows you how small he is. Ahn.

Bloop2

Gracias, Lilybunny!

2 Lora 06.09.06 at 1:59 pm

3 Connie 06.09.06 at 2:01 pm

Wow, looks like he’s stuck on the side of someone’s house? How the heck does that work?

4 Michele 06.09.06 at 2:06 pm

Lora – lol!

5 Redzilla 06.09.06 at 2:14 pm

I love his stickyness! Amazing he can stick to the side of the house. He looks a bit suspicious of that GIANT hand, though–look at the tilt of his head.

6 Gary 06.09.06 at 2:14 pm

Love this site to bitsssssssss

Gary, Singapore.

OMG he’s soooooo cute!!

9 Laurie C 06.09.06 at 2:24 pm

Wow, he’d fit on a cracker.

(Just kidding, frogophiles!)

10 Dustbunny 06.09.06 at 2:24 pm

Attention meerkat fans: we interrupt this blog to tell you that tonight at 9 pm on Animal Planet there’ll be a program called “Meerkat Manor”…all about…meerkats!
Don’t miss it.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled squeeeeing.

11 Redzilla 06.09.06 at 2:26 pm

Laurie C, he’s so teeny he could probably use an oyster cracker as a raft to cross a sea of cream of mushroom. Yum.

12 A thinker 06.09.06 at 2:50 pm

Little tiny frog
Bright green and impossibly Small, I would kiss you.

13 A thinker 06.09.06 at 2:50 pm

Aargh! Insert “enter” between “impossibly” and “Small”.

14 falnfenix 06.09.06 at 2:56 pm

YAAAAAAAAAY! i heart tree frogs!

15 M- 06.09.06 at 2:57 pm

I have pendants for necklaces bigger than this little guy is… wow… too fing aborable.

16 Theo 06.09.06 at 2:59 pm

Peepers! Even better than crickets for the eventide ambience!

17 Stacey 06.09.06 at 3:00 pm

I found some really cool and cute baby names on this site

Complete baby names

Since I am a regular on this site I figured I would share what I found

http://www.completebabynames.com

Enjoy!

18 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:00 pm

Gary in Singapore — LOL for your blog address.

19 punkpie 06.09.06 at 3:01 pm

That looks like a baby White’s Tree Frog! I’ve had a few as pets. They are native to Australia but you can buy them at pet stores in the US.

Interesting factoid about White’s: they secrete a skin mucus containing enzymes that kill HIV. The enzyme is being researched as a possible vaccine.

20 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:03 pm

Stacey, since you’re a “regular” on this site (not sure how I could possibly have missed you all this time), tell me — who compiled the Cute Overload Quotations page?

21 alice 06.09.06 at 3:16 pm

“Hop hop I can make it!”
Thinker – I would want to kiss Bloop there, too, except I’d be scared of accidentally swallowing him. Hm…maybe I would risk it if he turned into a prince.

22 Meg 06.09.06 at 3:19 pm

Go get ‘em, Theo!

23 A thinker 06.09.06 at 3:21 pm

too bad, teho, that spammers hit and don’t return.

24 A thinker 06.09.06 at 3:22 pm

and alice, yes, there might be a small size problem with kissing that guy. Perhaps the daintiest of pecks would suffice.

25 kariboo 06.09.06 at 3:23 pm

just once, i would love to check out a baby book name with my name in it.

oh! oh! theo! *sticks hand up in the air* i know! i know who did that page!!
*grin*

26 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:24 pm

LOL Thinker… yeah. Too bad. No, really.

27 Maureen 06.09.06 at 3:25 pm

Methinks you’ll not get an answer from “Stacey”.

Froggeh!

28 alice 06.09.06 at 3:25 pm

aaah I just thought Stacey was slightly spacey.

29 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:25 pm

Kariboo — careful, it was a mostly a trick question…

30 Laurie C 06.09.06 at 3:28 pm

Methinks Stacey might have been a ‘bot drawn by the baby thing. But now with the hedgie pushing it off the main page, perhaps we’re in the clear again.

31 A thinker 06.09.06 at 3:28 pm

I know! I know!

Futuristically speaking, it’s E.C. Right?

32 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:33 pm

…and/or AuntieMame, yes. At least, that’s what I was thinking. E.C. has said she’d consider it & consult with some folks. (Sound about right, ladies?

33 Theo 06.09.06 at 3:33 pm

)

34 mariser 06.09.06 at 3:40 pm

wha? wha! whut?!

I dun unnerstand.. goes to corner pouting and sucking thumb…

35 A thinker 06.09.06 at 3:41 pm

*sigh*, teho. No “blue material” at this time of the morning.

36 A thinker 06.09.06 at 3:41 pm

um, ooops. think I might have misinterpreted your comment. sorry.

37 E. Collison 06.09.06 at 3:48 pm

Perhaps. (re. C.O.’s Familiar Quotations.)

38 Sara 06.09.06 at 3:59 pm

When I lived in NC, we’d come home at night and the whole front of our house would be covered in little green frogs, just hanging out. You’d have to shoo them off the front door, or they’d jump in and all you’d hear ( all night ) was little ribbits all over the house. Not fun, cute but really loud!

39 VaCKo 06.09.06 at 4:00 pm

This frog is like a Frog Prince/Thumbelina crossover!

40 Redzilla 06.09.06 at 4:07 pm

I think only a “transfer” kiss would work. You could kiss your pinkie and then ever so gently transfer the kiss to the froggy. Gently, people.

41 Aubrey 06.09.06 at 4:17 pm

Is this frog-ikins a relative of Mr. Penny Wise-Dime-Sized Turtle?

42 lauowolf 06.09.06 at 4:20 pm

Punkpie–
What do they eat?
Fleas?
Dust mites?
A cricket would beat this guy up.
(I don’t even like amphibians, and I like this guy. Very, very dense charisma here.)

43 Theo 06.09.06 at 4:27 pm

Wait, what? “Blue material?” (Thinker, Mariser — I wasn’t messing w/you; now *I’m* confused)

E.C. — I’m available for consults, too, of course. But I’ve already got the Glossary.

44 A thinker 06.09.06 at 4:43 pm

no, no. I’m sorry, Theo. I totally misunderstood what you said and applied it to the wrong comment. just ignore me! clearly posting before thinking, here.

I know you weren’t messing with us; and I got it. No worries.

45 M- 06.09.06 at 4:47 pm

Okay… so if you kiss a frog and get a prince… what happens when you kiss this little cutie?????

46 punkpie 06.09.06 at 4:51 pm

lauowolf:

as froglets they eat any insects they can… you can buy itty bitty crickets and worms. They don’t have long “zap ‘em” tongues but rather, leap to munch the food and kinda shove it in their mouth very quickly. Once they are older, you just buy them larger crickets and wormies. :-)

47 Theo 06.09.06 at 5:00 pm

M- — possibly Prince ‘Erbert.
“But father, I don’t want any of that…”

48 snusnu 06.09.06 at 5:21 pm

Why do they never show up at my house?? They show up at my sister’s, but not MINE! And I’m the frog lover!

49 idonothingallday 06.09.06 at 5:26 pm

i wonder happens if you lick it’s belly?

Is this the newest version of ‘Withnail and I’?

51 Tracey 06.09.06 at 5:54 pm

I had one of these in my house once, have had them on the outside too!

52 brownamazon 06.09.06 at 6:57 pm

Sigh… I just got back from lovely Bermuda last night, where the tiny tree frogs serenade you to sleep with musical peeping every night.

53 The Guy Over There 06.09.06 at 7:15 pm

My god.

I want it. I’d make a teeny tank for him and feed him the bloodworms I feed my fishies.

54 SilvorMoon 06.09.06 at 7:24 pm

Y’know, I’m not one of those people who are all, “It’s so cute! I want to put it in my mouth!” but this is bringing me close to the edge. He’s like a little piece of shiny green candy…

55 lilybunny 06.09.06 at 7:29 pm

Awww I’m so happy people like my baby froggie! We have a ton of these little guys who live outside our door (they hop on the windows and drive the poor cats INSANE!) but this is by far the teensiet one we have ever seen.

There’s little hidey holes the way that the siding on our house siding joins at the corners by the front door, perfect for froggies to hang out in, so we always see little heads poking out of them. We have dubbed them “Frog Pockets”

56 A thinker 06.09.06 at 7:31 pm

“Frog Pockets”–I love it! I want a frog, and a pocket to put it in.

57 lilybunny 06.09.06 at 7:31 pm

PS to the folks discussing what they eat…they hang around our front door because at night (due to the porch light) it’s where the bugs are. It’s the Golden Corral for froggies, all they can eat. I have seen some of the bigger ones eat millipedes and stick insects bigger than themselves!

58 ag 06.09.06 at 8:41 pm

FROGULES!

59 brownamazon 06.09.06 at 8:56 pm

“Millipedes and stick insects.”

Yikes. And, might I add, double yikes.Must look at wee frogling again to get rid of panicky, creepy-crawly feeling…ah, that’s better.

*shudders*

60 lezlee 06.09.06 at 9:06 pm

Bloop. Bloop bloop. Bloop bloop bloop bloop!

61 AngelDawn 06.09.06 at 9:26 pm

Wonder what the tadpole looked like?

62 Saska 06.09.06 at 10:37 pm

Frog pockets… awww.

This, of course, makes me think of the joke about the engineer with a talking frog.

63 mariser 06.09.06 at 10:45 pm

Saska,

…and?

64 Aubrey 06.09.06 at 11:17 pm

What made the frog such a superior brewer of beer?

He added plenty of hops.

I JUST made that up, and WHAT ABOUT that engineer?

65 mariser 06.09.06 at 11:19 pm

Aubrey,

a punny joke!
not bad, not bad…and on the fly!

I.must.know.about.the.engineer.

66 Claire 06.10.06 at 12:24 am

I suppose if you kiss this little guy you get the teenies t of tiniest pocket-size prince to carry around with you forever…

Or you could just keep the adoooooorable tiny wittle froggie!

67 ElfOwl 06.10.06 at 1:51 am

OOH. Forget 1! I want 100! I loves him!

68 Jen 06.10.06 at 2:08 am

So adorable…

I wouldn’t want to kiss him…I’d want him to stay a frog forever!

69 E. Collison 06.10.06 at 2:10 am

ElfOwl! ElfOwl! ElfOwl!

w00t!

70 Saska 06.10.06 at 5:23 am

I’ll c&p this from the site where I found it (nerdtests.com) -

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.” The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want.” Again the engineer took the frog out , smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess, that I’ll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”

The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool!”

71 hrh.squeak 06.10.06 at 8:05 am

Saska, too funny!

If this little guy could talk, he’d say “Get that giant pink worm outta here before I eat it!”

Does anyone else hear “Frog Pockets” in their heads to the sound of the Hot Pockets commercial? If you could bust open a pastry shell and this little guy poinked out to say hi, it would be a best seller at *my* house – I love froggies. And the little brown salamanders with tiny little five fingered hands and Beady Eyes.

72 falnfenix 06.10.06 at 1:13 pm

hrh – dangit, i wasn’t going to say anything, but YES the “hot pockets” song is firmly stuck in my head…’cept hot is substituted with frog.

73 another Mike 06.10.06 at 4:18 pm

makes me feel guilty for smashing a few of his little brothers last summer :o

74 lilybunny 06.10.06 at 7:04 pm

hrh.squeak – we actually sing that when we see the frogs in their frog pockets, we say “Where ya gonna sleep? FROG POCKETS!”

We’re dorks :)

75 hrh.squeak 06.10.06 at 7:25 pm

No, Lilybunny, you are a Cutemiester and me wurvs you.

76 Theo 06.10.06 at 7:40 pm

That’s “Cuteologist,” actually.

So ’tis, Theo. Lilybunny is one, too.
