Dear Mr. Pickles,

Dear Inquiring Minds,

You must be referencing Lily, the lovely lady who has been frequenting the Hub lately. You’ll be seeing more of her in the near future. Is she my girlfriend? Well, I don’t like labels but let’s just say she’s checked if I’m a prince once or twice ; )

Dear Master Pickles,

Bullfroggy Frogg

Dear Bullfroggy Frogg,

Thanks for the complimets on the new site - it’s sweeeet. Although I don’t appreciate the comments about my appearance - the truth is I’m simply a pudgy little frog who recently underwent Lasik surgery.

Dear Mr. Pickles,

TStarr

Dear TStarr,

This is a classic tale of girl meets boy, boy leaves girl, girl goes for a walk by a pond, girl meets frog, girl kisses frog….you see where this is going. In all honesty I’ve been kissed by thousands of women looking for their prince (a bit of a ladies-frog if you will). So my answer is I simply don’t remember. Seriously - I get around.

Ryuji K

Dear Ryuji,

My favorite foods are flies, water bugs, and coincidentally - a rack of babyback ribs. Even though I have webbed hands, and no teeth - it’s a Friday night ritual for me.

Dear Dangina,

I have called the police.

- Braids

Dear Braids,

It’s a name that my mother Sweet and father Dill passed down through the family.

Dear Just Wondering In Maine,

Time to a frog is like TV to the caveman - it simply doesn’t make sense to us. I’ve never been taught how to tell time, there are no clocks in my pond (although we do get the internet, and I have a computer oddly enough), and I can’t wear a watch because they generally slip off my flippers (which also answers your question about the hands). Generally, we simply exist with no concept of time at all. Mr. Pickles is my god given name by my parents Dill & Sweet. I’m very proud of it. My goals and objectives consist of two things: “Don’t Get Eaten” & “Don’t miss my 6pm Matlock reruns”

So, there you have it. I pretty much just hang out, eat, sleep and learn about the world through courtroom dramas.

Mr. Pickles

Dear Mr. Pickles,

Do you have any children? Are they cute like you?
- Curious

Dear Curious,

I’m the proud papa of about 4,000 tadpoles this past spring. Only 20 made it to adulthood which, for a frog, is about 6 weeks old. They’re spitting images of me - which of course means they’re stunningly handsome.

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Jennifer

Dear Jennifer,

I once moved away to Colorado for about a year and a half. Then I remembered….I’m a frog. I don’t belong in the city, or on a ski slope. I belong in a pond.

Mr. Pickles

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Jen

Dear Jen,

Generally your hand will smell normal. Unless I pee all over it. Which happens about 75% of the time when people pick me up.

Dear Bobby,

I hate you.

- Kathy

Dear Kathy,

I’m a frog. When’s the last time you saw a frog at an Elton John concert? I’ve heard Rocket Man’s a good song…but…I live in a pond and don’t have a radio.

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Worrywart

Dear Worrywart,

If so - you just saved me a trip to the vet. If not - then I’ve got something that needs looking at.

Mr. Pickles

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Cucumber

Dear Cucumber,

My eyes are perfectly aligned…for a frog with a deformed head. Regarding the Wheatie question - I’m a frog people.

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Lillypad

Dear Lillypad,

If I only had a nickel every time I was asked this…..well, I’d have a bunch of nickels. However since I’m a frog and don’t participate in transactions where currency is exchanged they are rendered useless. Kind of like your question.

Mr. Pickles.

Dear Mr. Pickles,

- Megan B

Dear Megan B,

I told you never to write me at the office! What we had was special, and your a real sweet gal. Your big world with your automobiles and grocery stores…it’s a people world baby. No place for a frog.

Mr. Pickles.

Dear Curious Nelly,

I am a frog - I don’t know.
