"Pluck your magic twanger, Froggie."

Froggie150

That phrase came to me in a dream last night. People of a certain age might remember it from a Saturday morning TV show (1955-1960) called Andie's Gang, starring Andy Devine.

It's a little difficult to explain the phrase, and Froggie. Someone off camera would say the words, "Pluck your magic twanger, Froggie," and a rubber fog, about 10 inches high, would appear in a cloud of smoke.

I had a Froggie. There was a little noise maker in the heel of one shoe and when you squeezed Froggie, he made a cool croaking sound.

I only mention because the phrase would make for a good T-Shirt. And maybe we can become the number one hit from a Google search (since there are only 6 hits at present).
