RENO- (AP) Breaking News. According to a press release from the Washoe County Coroners Office today, preliminary toxicology reports revealed “high amounts of alcohol and other drugs” in the blood of legendary rocker Froggie the frog at the time of his death.
As the resulting buzz surrounding the report was felt around the world, family in Reno Nevada vehemently defended the dead frog. “We are confident that Froggie had nothing to do with that stuff. He was clean,” says Mr. Squiggles, Father of Froggie. Squiggles, who now resides in a 15 gallon tank at the 400 block of Mt. Rose Street said that the rest of the family is “100 percent behind our Froggie.”
In what has become a common sight at the Nation’s schools and universities, students at the University Of Nevada here in town held a candle-light vigil for the fallen amphibian, singing songs and sharing stories of how the frog had touched their lives. “We want to remember the good times and all the happiness he brought us,” cited long time senior Ryan Jerz, “He was a good frog. He’ll be missed.”
As the Nation come to grips with the loss of this cultural icon, the questions still remain about his demise. Was Froggie really over the demons that plagued him earlier in his career? And if so, how could the toxicology reports be explained? His family believes he was a victim of foul play. “We’re gonna find out what happened to our Froggie,” says Squiggles, “and my guess is you gots to start askin’ those people he was livin’ with, and that fish- that Beta person. We won’t rest ’till we see some justice round here.”

Sherlock added these pithy words on Feb 17 04 at 1:12 pm-Holmes: From my extensive experience with heinous crimes such as this and my detective intuition I have deduced my first suspect to be the woman that Froggie lived with. I beleive her name is Heidi.
-Watson: Yes sir, that’s her name and the odd-looking gentlemen’s name is Ed.
-Holmes: Like the Horse?
-Watson: Surely sir.
-Holmes: Mmhhh…
-Watson: Why the woman sir? I would immediately suspect Ed, I mean the way he was going off about cats…ohhh the hatred and rage in his tone!
-Holmes: Elementary my dear Watson, however I beleive that even more sinister is the jealousy and anger that Heidi was most certainly enveloped with when she found out that cats were not allowed in their complex.
-Watson: Ahhh…Uuuhhhh…I see…
-Holmes: You see Watson, by intoxicating Froggie, that only leaves them with the fish, whom I suspect is the next victim in her grisly plot. Regretably her horrid plan does not end with Beta! No! I fear for the Apt. Manager’s life as well! With all of them out of the picture, she can then manipulate her simple-minded, feeble man into getting her her most desired feline.
-Watson: Macabre!

I salute you, my friend.
mrjerz added these pithy words on Feb 17 04 at 4:11 pmDid Froggie by any chance happen to have a wife who had talent, albeit far less than Froggie himself, whose career might benefit from the death of a cultural icon? Just asking. And my exact quote was, “He’ll hella be totally, like, missed, and stuff.” Thanks for cleaning that up. I might have looked sillier than your average “long-time senior”.
Ed added these pithy words on Feb 17 04 at 4:17 pmNo prob, Jerz. I think you may be on to something tho…
