We were in London and be bought a little brass frog candleholder ... then we were in an antique shop in Paris and he bought a little frog paperweight and we were hooked.

There's used to be a category of Southern Democrats (especially in North and South Carolina) called "yellow dog" Democrats because they were so faithful to the party that they would rather have voted for a yellow dog than for a Republican.
