Right wingers, Canadian frogs and a racy sitcom

I had brought some of my frogs to a cabin from my childhood on The Lake of The Woods. The frogs kept on getting out of the flimsy cardboard box I had them in and were hopping down among the dilapidated floorboards of the cabin. As I tried to recover them, I discovered there were many species of awesome native Canadian frogs below the cabin. I began to collect several of each species.

I became aware that a group of four or five right-wingers I didn't know were thoroughly cleaning the cabin as a favor for the elderly owner. I tried to help but was more interested in the frogs and unsuccessfully tried to get the right wingers excited about them. I showed the oldest of them a mass of pink frogs with curly pigtails mating in a choreographed kaleidoscope-like cluster and told him only a few humans had ever witnessed it but he didn't really care. I got a picture.

There would be a big party once the cabin was clean. I salted and peppered a raw 50 pound NY Strip steak sitting on the counter. Later, one of the right wingers started shoveling pounds and pounds of salt and pepper on the oversized steak. When I began to tell him I'd already seasoned it I realized what I thought was salt and pepper was actually a mixture of white and wild rice. He stretched and rolled the steak around the rice and chopped it into sections which were like rolled ice cream cake in form.

When the party started, the shores around the island were lined with carnival-like buildings. It was all right wingers, lots of them everywhere.

My family left in a houseboat to travel back to the U.S. through a system of canals. We passed a park. A lot of elderly people and attractive college girls were all playing volleyball together. I wanted to stop and ask the girls where a good place to stay was, but my dad drove the boat on.

At the hotel, the Canadian version of an American sitcom was being filmed before a live audience. The main character was gay and it was known the Canadian version was racier. I looked in on the filming to see the main character peeing on another guy's ass. The camera angle changed to reveal he was actually peeing into a urinal while staggeringly drunk. The studio audience laughed. I hoped my parents didn't see it as they would be offended.

I decided to play dumb by pretending I didn't know a permit was required to bring live frogs into the U.S. if they were discovered at customs.
