Peter un cable? Are you guys doubling up on us, or is this from another episode? Maybe a sneak peek at a future episode?

BTW, I love the video. More! If I weren't so old, I'd fly to France this minute to hit on Frog. I just love a man in a tiara...

Lynn - it's a flashback to a k&k learn french #7! equivalent to "péter un plomb" ;)
I am SO glad you liked the video! And I'm sure Frog loves the flattery too... Although I'm jealous he looks better than I do in a tiara!
