Froggy?By wbarwell@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM (William Barwell)15 Jul 1995 03:05:27 -0500 Froggy? Whass dat? Thinking about the London demonstration reminded me of something from the mid 70's. In airports worldwide, teh cult recruiters, Moonies, Hare Krishnas, La Rouchites, and others became thick as fleas and made life a living hell for airport workers and travelers. On eguy, a mitch something-or-the other who traveled a lot an dhated these crass hard sell beggers was traveling with some trinkets he had bought to bring back to his young kids. Little metal frog cliickers. He was approached by a Hare Krishna and impulsively he pulled out teh clicker and clicked it in response to the shithead's appeal for $ so he wouldn't have to speak to the sunuvabitch. The startled Hare Krishna couldn't handle it and left. Much to teh applause of fellow passnegers. So he started an organization, Froggy, (forget the acronym he made up) and went on a bizarre tour of the world's airports selling frog clickers and speaking and handing out flyers. Soon all over the world people who traveled a lot and airport workers were mercilessly clicking culties when approached in airports. In some cases it had been observed that Hare Krishnas had been surrounded by as many as 8 or 10 passenegers who did not speak but furiously clicked their froggies at him till he left teh terminal. Many such travelers would carry extra froggies for those who needed them and flyers. The guy who did this lived off of donations for almost a year. Supposedly this bizarre movement actually effectively handled the culties in many airports til courts finally allowed the airports to legally confine them to booths.
The English FUSS people should design up fliers for hotspots like Tottingham Road and find some clickers for the regulars around these areas. See if the local shops would be interested in carrying 'em. Imagine if all the regulars clicked them when approached by clams. You wouldn't have to speak. Or argue, the clicker would let 'em know, not interetsted. I am sure big pests would sooner or later experience being surrounded and clicked by several angry locals tired of the clams. And I am sure 8 X 14 flyers expalining clam engrams, Xenu, ect and and other beliefs and why the need for a clicker to run these pests of would be quite popular. Wish I could remember the last name of the guy who did the frog clicker thing. I remember reading an article about him that showed him in an airport with his frog suit and his boxes of clickers and flyers. Pope Charles SubGenius Pope Of Houston Slack!
