2010-04-23: Nothing But Space Frog (in Pellucidar)
true story
Lisa found this book at the local Goodwill. Well, actually, it's a Great Illustrated Classics version of Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Hound of the Baskervilles. I hacked it!

Text transcript
[[ I hold a copy of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Pellucidar". A drawing of Rabid petting Space Frog is on the recto.]] Book: His head as he paced beside me was level with my hip. I laid my hand upon it caressingly. As I did so he turned and looked up into my face, his jaws parting and his red tongue lolling as you have seen your own dog's beneath a love pat. Book: "Just been waiting all your life to be tamed and loved, haven't you, old man?" I asked. "You're nothing but Space Frog, and the man who put the hyaeno in your name ought to be sued for libel." Book: Raja bared his mighty fangs with upcurled, snarling lips and licked my hand. Book: "You're grinning, you old fraud, you!" I cried. "If you're not, I'll eat you. I'll bet a doughnut you're nothing but some kid's poor old Fido, masquerading around as a real, live man-eater."
