Cops: Man playing real-life 'Frogger' hit by SUV

CLEMSON, S.C. — A man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by an SUV while playing a real-life version of the video game "Frogger."

Authorities said the 23-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Anderson after he was struck at around 9 p.m. Monday.

In the "Frogger" arcade game, players move frogs through traffic on a busy road and through a hazard-filled river. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends.

Chief Jimmy Dixon says the man yelled "go" and darted into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway.

No charges are expected against the driver. The name of the man who was struck has not been released. He was in stable condition Monday night.

Nope, just another nut case.

So he did it himself rather than using frogs? There's your problem right there!

What a queer bird, the frog are
When he sit he stand (almost)
When he walk he fly (almost)
When he talk he cry (almost)
He ain't got no sense, hardly
He ain't got no tail, neither, hardly
He sit on what he ain't got hardly.

old poem...

Sounds like an old coonass I know in south Louisiana.

I always thought that poem was Ogden Nash-- but it turns out to be much much older. And there's music that goes with it-- it's a round! Who knew?

(Also, everything Nash did rhymed, which this poem does not.)

Doesn't sound like it to me. If I were him or his family, I'd get a second opinion.

And a catscan of his head to see if there really is a pea in there or not.

It's a wonder he didn't croak.

 

[fuckwaffle]

you know what happens to a frog struck by lightning?

When he gets out of the hospital maybe he'll try being Pac-Man. Now that conjures up some images.

If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he hops.
