Obviously putting up more of a battle on this one than the weak mongrels ever did in any war!
You can't make this up.
Green on green engagement. Friendly fire. You name it.
I expect they will fail.
A hasty surrender might help.
Send them some Cane Toads, to get rid of the bullfrogs... ;^)
the Frenchies are maroons.
Oh, no, not another office pool. OK, I got French surrender in 23 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes. Twenny buckadingdongs. Come on, puh-LEEZE somebody drop a C-note on the French or the pot's gonna be empty...
Why bother? They're just gonna surrender in a week or two anyway.
This senseless cycle of Frog-on-frog violence must stop!
Why to I have this vision of hundreds of Bull Frogs marching in to Paris under the l'Arc de Triomphe?
Only a frenchman would go jacklighting frogs and then not eat 'em. Stick to snails you pollywogs!
These French are not very smart!
They need YEARS to work out an eradication plan?
Dummies, all they have to do is put a nominal bounty on Bull Frog carcass, but allow the hind legs to be kept for eating.
Of course paying French kids a few Franc's per frog would not make these "Ecologist" so wealthy as the current ineffectual scheme does.
The proper way to harvest frogs is with a Gig, similar to a small barbed pitch fork. Much safer than shooting them!
For sporting amusement you can even catch them with dry flies and a fishing pole.
This story reminds me... my kids caught 5 tree frogs today and had them in a paper cup that tipped over in the car on the way home from church. By the time the tipped over cup was noticed only one frog could be found. A thorough search was conducted in vain. 4 treefrogs will eventually be discovered, mummified, somewhere in the station wagon. Maybe I should call my neighbor over to search, too. He's French....
Hell, even our frogs kick their butt...
Let's see, the bullfrogs lay about 25,000 eggs annually, and the frog-hunters have managed to shoot 120 of them in five hunts over 11 months. Factoring in these frogs having few natural predators, even a mathematically-challenged brain such as mine can figure out who's going to win.
The French are always underestimating the Americans, even our bullfrogs.
It's Bush's fault!
They tried cats?
Never fired, only dropped once...
8 - 10 bullfrog legs
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
Add lemon juice to bowl of water and soak frog legs several hours. Add olive oil to skillet. Pat dry frog legs with a paper towel and place in skillet. Cook over medium heat turning once after undersides are golden brown. Sprinkle diced chives over frog legs. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine to oil. Cover and steam several minutes until golden brown. Serves three to four people.

They have virtually no predators, and each lay up to 25,000 eggs a year, against 10,000 laid by the local frogs.
"We carried out five hunts between September last year and this July, killing about 120 of them," Detaint said.
