Who wants some sweet tea?
Hey everyone! Crazy Legs here. I arrived in the strangely warm and un-winterlike state of North Carolina on Saturday. It's so warm here that I even got to shed my leather jacket and go au natural for the first time in a long time. I was tempted to go for a swim upon arrival, but thought better of it when I dipped a flipper into Falls Lake.
I am here with ScottyGee in the capital of North Carolina, Raleigh. It's a lot better than I thought it would be. In my head I pictured a bunch of overall wearing yokels racing around in beat up cars spray painted to match their favorite NASCAR drivers. It's not like that at all. Well, not entirely. It's very pretty, clean and laid back. The kind of place a frog could get used to.
Saturday night I took it easy after my trip. I just lounged around with Scott and Dory. I think someone slipped a roofie in my fly cocktail because most of the night was a blur and I woke up on Sunday to Dory licking me. I felt a little violated.
After a quick breakfast, Scott announced that I would be accompanying him to his hockey practice. It was too damn early for hockey, but he insisted. Once inside the Mini and rolling down the road, I realized Scott thinks that all Minis need to drive like they do in the Italian Job, so I grabbed a helmet, held on for dear life and tried not to croak.
Scott is definitely not a morning person. He looked half asleep as seen below. That may explain all the swerving during the ride to the rink.
After a couple hours of hockey, I decided to try playing a little goalie. I figured the webbed hands would work as well as a goalie mit, but man was I wrong! It really helps to have a soft skull when pucks are flying at your face. After that ordeal we headed out to breakfast with some of the guys. Nothing like a worm and fly omelet. Mmmm.
The rest of the day we spent on or hind quarters watching the Carolina Panthers and the Pittsburgh Steelers whup up on their opponents. Nothing pleases a frog more than seeing Eli manning completely fail. Muahahhaa. Go Panthers!
Late at night I realized that Scotty had a sweet looking video game system. It was indeed an Xbox 360. Frogger has never looked better. We cracked a couple of brews and gamed for a bit. I must have got a good buzz on because I don't remember doing what you see in the photo below, but apparently I was really fond of that Xbox. So much so that I tried to make it my tadpole's momma. I feel so ashamed.
That's about it for now. Scott assures me there will be sight seeing and a couple hockey games in the near future. So I am looking forward to that. Right now, I think I'll go hang with Dory and try to figure out why Pete is so into her.
Ciao!
