and the owner of the oyster bar/market/restaurant I was at decided to add frog's legs to the menu.
Fucking 65 YO genius ("You won't believe this but I never read a book." he once told me proudly.)
orders a CASE of live frogs. Maybe 30?So, we are supposed to KILL them AND chop off their legs and prepare for the kitchen.
NOBODY would do it.
Finally I think The Genius did one. NOBODY on staff would EAT the cooked frog's legs.
Anyway, the next day the REST of the case of frogs were taken to a lake in Golden Gate Park
and released. Probably some variety that managed to cause myriad environmental problems in
GG Park over the past 35 years.Fuckin' genius.

My dad took me frog gigging when I was a kid. We were in a couple of boats with one of my aunts and a couple of uncles. I thought it was great, riding around in boats in the dark with just flashlights. We got a bunch of bull frogs.
The next night was also supposed to be great. My aunt was cooking them up and we were going to get to eat them. I was outside playing with my cousins until they called us for dinner. When I walked in the house, I almost gagged from the smell. I didn't eat any and still haven't. They might be tasty, I don't know, but they don't smell very good cooking.
Damn, that's a great story. I'm sure nobody gave a second thought to releasing the frogs back then, and the potential environmental impact it might have had.
Here's what you should have done. I couldn't have made up something this good:
"The most humane way to euthanize Cuban Treefrogs is by liberally applying benzocaine (20%) to the back or belly of the frog. At your local drugstore, you can find a variety of products containing 20% benzocaine -- first aid or burn sprays and toothache gels or liquids. After you apply the benzocaine, the Cuban Treefrog will quickly become unconscious. Next, seal the plastic bag and put it into the freezer overnight. By the next day, you can be sure that the Cuban Treefrog will not wake up (which would be inhumane), and can dispose of the bag. "
If it works for Cuban Tree Frogs, it just might have worked for dinner frogs.
It's too bad "The Genius" didn't order psychoactive toads instead. The Haight-Ashbury hippies would have loved you for releasing those into the park!
shucked, live crabs torn apart (for the best cioppino ever) or boiled and Maine lobsters & crayfish sharing a similar fate.
Figure I've shucked at least a half million oysters alone in my lifetime.
When the Karma hits the fan there, I'm in for it!
Psychoactive toads we would have kept around to add to the swell stash of drugs and booze we consumed!
