I recently learned that Tony's Bar, the "largest navigational hazard" in Kodiak, hosts an annual frog jumping competition. Each year the theme is the "Best Picture" Academy Award Winner. I have seen shirts around town with last year's slogan: "No Country for Old Frogs," and have been very confused. Mystery solved...
Apparently the frogs are flown up from Texas for the event, which takes place during the Kodiak Crab Festival. You can purchase your frog for $20, which actually seems like a fairly good deal, considering that lemons cost $2.49 right now at the store and don't carry the limitless possibility of financial return that a championship jumper presents.
