Frog Jump kicks off California fair season on Capitol lawn

Republican Assembly member David Tangipa represents Calaveras County and told CapRadio the best way to get a frog moving is to yell at it. “Have a hard conversation with your frog, and hopefully it jumps a little bit further,” he said. I took that advice – I got a frog, gave it some encouragement and slapped the ground behind it. And I won. My frog Green Machine made it 14 feet and 3 inches.
