Frick and Frack

I've decided to name this spitter, shown first in March of this year, Frick and Frack.  Frick, on left facing, reminds me of Kermit the Frog with some of his famous quotes jumping into my mind like: "Time's fun when your having flies."  Frack, on the other hand, is more of a joker and definitely not a worrier. 

The term Frick and Frack has taken on more of a meaning than just the "rolls off your tongue nice" name for a couple of performers.  Let me express it like this:  If you have only one person who is a real sap, he could be called a Bozo.  If you have three fatheads they could be called the Three Stooges.  With two goofballs who are best friends they can affectionately be called Frick and Frack (as in "The Odd Couple").

Frick and Frack were actually performers on ice who were famous for funny tricks and just great entertainment.  Frack had some moves on the ice that most can't duplicate today 70 +/- years later.  You can see a short clip of their show by clicking here. 



Welcome to the pond ya goof balls! 

Have you noticed the rock is wet... hmmmm

I love these guys.. Looks like a new saga is around the corner. I suggest you get them some "depends", that might help the wet rock. Be a good doctor and start with the small stuff and progress the treatment. You might even start an insurnance program for all those guys around the backyard. hahaha
