We gotcha all beat. [Frogs in Toledo](http://toledo.com/frogs/). Or, [It’s reigning frogs](http://www.itsreigningfrogs.com/main.asp)! [VIA TOAD-LEDO](http://www.itsreigningfrogs.com/frog_bio.asp?ID=12)! And these unholy things are going up on the auction block October 25, 2001. I’m seeing a new backstop at the pistol range.

The Seattle pigs from Pigs on Parade are scheduled to be auctioned off at a gala this coming Saturday. Here’s a [l(o)ink](http://www.pigsonparade.org/PorkIntelligencer/) if anyone wants to see what they looked like. They were pretty cool to see around the city, kind of whimsical and fun, but now people are getting a little sick of them. ---
