Little tiny costumes!!! - Froggy as “Hamlet”, complete with tiny tights, doublet, and rapier (cocktail sword should do well for a prop). - Froggy as “Ophelia”, complete with long white dress, wig and garland of flowers. Bonus, set Froggy on a tree branch hung over the water cooler for the proper atmosphere. - Froggy as “D’Artagnan”, similar to “Hamlet”, but add tiny broad-brimmed hat with a couple of chicken feathers. - Froggy as “Richard III” - "Hamlet, but stuff a wad of cotton in one shoulder. \*Froggy as “Quasimodo”, keep the “Richard III” cotton, dress Froggy in rags. Got a tiny model car? Oh, the possibilities: - Black leather jacket and jeans, and voila, “James Dean” - Elegant dress, smush Froggy’s head down (instant bust line) and voila, “Jayne Mansfield” - 1940s dress, lay Froggy out on the car, and voila, the _Life_ magazine photo of the woman who leaped off the Empire State Building ( **Eve** was looking for a copy of this once in another thread). Damn. Wish I had a Froggy in the office. ---

Lots of ideas. Well, it continues. The mysterious Froggy Rectifier struck mere moments ago, and I’ve already put Froggy asunder again. I’ve also learned that I can tilt the water bottle as much as 3°. ---

Go ahead. Be daring. You know you want to. Go for 5 degrees. BTW, are you going to post some pictures for the overly-curious among us? ---

If you decide to send Froggy on a “trip”, I’ll be happy to send postcards from Florida! ---

I have a lizard that is similar. if you send me your address, the lizard is yours. Froggy can have a pal. ---

Ringo, since I know you’re actually sane and I’m here local, I’d be happy to call your advesary once you identified him and play my child’s Sounds Of The Forest toy that’s got a stellar bullfrog recording on it every time he rectifies your artwork. ---

I was going to suggest something similar to **Cougarfang’s** idea. Step 1: Kidnap Froggy Step 2: Take picture of Froggy. For best results, Froggy should be waving in picture. Step 3: Post picture of Froggy here. Step 4: Dopers post pictures of different locations on SDMB. Step 5: Splice picture of Froggy and locales together. Step 6: Every couple days, put a new picture on top of water cooler. On back of picture should be scrawled something like “Wish you were here! - Froggy,” or “Having a great time! - Froggy,” or perhaps “Deliver 10,000 dollars under the bridge at midnight if you ever want to see Froggy again.” Step 7: Hilarity ensues! ---

I like the virtual trip! You could set up a free Froggy email account on Yahoo or some such place, hide Froggy, and post a link to a picture that various Dopers could comp into their own local pics. We could send the pics to you, and you could mail them to various people in the office from the Froggy account. Hell, I’ll even volunteer to do it, if you agree to keep us posted on the results. ---

I’ve got postcards and pictures of the scenery here in Colorado, email me if you want them and I will post a picture wherever you want, and mail a postcard to your office. You should seriously do this, it’ll be great. ---

Have Mr. Frog dissapear forever…and in his place, but a real live frog! In a cage on top of the water thing hopefully, or if you really want to create havoc, forget about the cage. And just put it in the other guy’s cubicle. ---

Pictures from Melbourne Australia available for Froggy’s virtual world tour. Don’t forget froggy droppings - maybe small chocolate drops could be used? 😃 ---

So couldn’t you put Froggy in a funny position and then just watch the watercooler? Or would that be too simple? ---

And yes, I do have a sense of humour, and I know that finding out the identity of your protagonist is not the point, but aren’t you curious and just think how much better you can aim your jibes if you know who you’re dealing with? And also, unless you see Froggy being righted, how do you know he’s not doing it himself? There may be forces involved beyond our understanding… ---

I’ve been told that putting a few drops of food coloring into a water cooler can have hilarious results. Bright green is particularly effective.
