@cassgirl says:

(love You)
YOU twit, too!? man oh man…
@cassgirl says:
yup
@cassgirl says:
That was close, I swimming down in spam.. It’s this awful connection. A huge stormis here and I get to go to tow yards in feet of mud… YIPPEE!!
You’ll have to twitter girl..
@danielleH says:
what is that thing?
facebook.
did you click on it, yeller? keep clicking. and clicking. and clicking.
So glad you wrote that to danielle…I didn’t click on it more than once…I would have lost a whole lot of laughs but gained some time!
Facebook or freerice.com
The flair option on facebook can have me searching, sending and laughing for hours.
The fail blog. hehe.

suddenly- the noises in my head switched from “beep-beep” to “ribbit-ribbit”
facebook and i always check your blog too but thats not a waste of my time! hehe
Postsecret.com
also Myspace
And I window/internet shop and put stuff in shopping carts that I never intend on paying for.
Ok, this is going to make me sound like a complete idiot…but I just realized that your blog posts have been counting up! fourteen…fifteen…sixteen…
I will go to someones blog on my list and start to go through their blogging list. It is so fun to see all the different people.
It is also neat to see a blog list that has a bunch that I already read and then a bunch I haven’t ever read. It tells me that we pretty much like some of the same things. If they frequent these other blogs that I have never been too, that I may really like them.
OK the click click click on the frog…just plan wrong in a very funny kind of way. LOL
I didn’t click on it until just now.
Oh my.
Hopkins, eh?
There are some funny people in the world. And I love reaping the benefits of their humor.
amy joy – THAT is awesome.
I thought I was the only one.
And apparently I waste time here: http://mike.whybark.com/archives/001951.html
’cause I just read the whole thing. wow.
what they heck was that frog thing?
You should have seen my face looking at it trying to figure it out. haha
Twitter. Twitter has taken over my life. And Facebook. Dang them both.
And email. yeah. Pretty much. ;-)
Love you!
Just blogging.
I refuse to Twitter…refuse!
Although Picassohead and Bomomo can keep me entertained for hours! That’s kind of embarrassing to admit.
Love you.
OK. I just did it.
That is hilarious!!!
Does it ever end?
Would you believe the twitter has caused me to waste some time? But I kind of like it.
Love Etsy. Droooool……
I’ve also recently discovered Facebook, but haven’t signed up or contacted anyone. I think that’s what really sucks you in!!
brad — better late than never!
kelly — yeah, i’d read that, too, before i posted this. the whole thing is so bizarrely funny to me! and i can’t stop CLICKING!
brandy — did you click on it? and click again? and click again?
michelle — i’m refusing to twitter, too! and picasso and bomomo are entirely lost on me. i am not artistic in the least. so you can spend my share of time on there, too!
lisa — oooh. i’d never seen “etsy” before!
Run, Alece, RUN!!!!! Because believe me, if “I lost my frog” things cost you 17 minutes, FORGET the amount of time you can spend on Etsy!!
I love going to that site – it’s like wandering around the greatest crafts fair you could imagine. I find all that creativity incredibly inspiring, and soothing, too.
did you click on the froggy thing? and keep clicking? am i the only one so easily entertained by this!?!? :-)
I clicked and clicked and clicked and clicked – waiting for a point… but I decided that for me the end of Hopkins must have been in the Hopkins flavored Ramen. Hopkins in me belly.
there is NO end to the hopkins. that’s the utter craziness of it. it just keeps going and going and going and…
all the blogs in my netvibes + twitter = hours
And then at 9pm I realize, “Shoot! I’ve read blogs all day and don’t have one written for tomorrow!”
Hi, my name is Procrastination Polly. Nice to meet you.
@atangie says:
Oh wow – I thought I was the only anti-tweeter out there!
Hmm… my clear-my-head-doing-a-mindless-activity activity online would be editing photos on Picnik. (that looks like it is spelled wrong but I I am not going to ‘waste’ time checking if it is or isn’t… I am just going to leave it there… right or wrong… it doesn’t matter to me… really… I am fine not knowing… )
The other thing would be watching pirated videos or YouTube funny stuff like commercials and stand up.
@traceepersiko says:
that’s right Terry!! you get yo’ frog! him was the bestest hoppin green frog i done ever did see!
@traceepersiko says:
i think i became hopkin because i clicked so much! oh and i spend too much time browsing REI website.
i clicked like 10 times and i still didn’t get it.
i’m sorry.
i get things usually.
i’ll try again. =)
just keep clicking.
there IS no point.
maybe THAT’S the point!
blogging.
for sure.
And I refuse to twitter as well.
Hopkins sure is loved there ….
EEEEEEEEEEEBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!
: )
Okay, I am a little slow … just clicked, and clicked, and clicked … pretty clever.
And, I refuse to twitter or facebook … blogging takes up enough of my time … but it sure is fun, especially with you guys!
i love me some facebook…
@mandythompson says:
weird. Why would anyone wanna make something like that.
I don’t get it.
But glad you do! :)
maybe i’m not as deep as the rest of you because i haven’t even thought of it in terms of something to “get”. i just keep clicking and clicking and it just makes me laugh.
the real story is that an autistic child had lost his stuffed from and posted that “missing” sign in his neighborhood. somehow it’s turned into an online phenomenon with new pictures about hopkins the green frog being made and added to that site all the time.
