Your frog's name is Gugget. They are a Orange-Banded Tree Frog. Cherish this frog. Begin Frog.
I am already angry that this isn’t Frog Fractions 2.

Hop Sing was the name of the stereotypical Chinese cook for the Cartwright family played by Victor Sen Yung in "Bonanza", appearing in 106 episodes over the show's 14 seasons. Them Cartwright boys had healthy appetites, especially Hoss.

My frog made $3 working at BOOK NEWSPAPER. I'm surprised at how proud this makes me.

Your frog was a vampire. Your frog was the ultimate evil from which all lesser evils flowed. You feel so proud!
That's understating it, if anything!

My frog jumped into a portal and I wound up playing a different game called Witch Egg.

Years later you hear of the publication of a great novel by a certain frog, one that weaves together the disparate fragments of the zeitgeist into an absolute javelin of wit and insight. You feel a humble pride in thinking you could in any way contribute to such a project.
Damn thing made no money, made one six-foot hop, and out-achieved me in life. I'm suddenly hungry for some frog-shaped candies...

Your frog was rather evil, and feared in some provinces.
I've always wanted to make a mark.

My frog
Waits for me
Like a tadpole waits
Downwind on a tight rope leash
My frog
Is a fragile amphibian
Sometimes I'm a novocaine shot
Sometimes I'm an automat
My frog
Is often solo
Sometimes it ribbits then
Sometimes it's a golden glow
My frog
Is invested in
Suburban drainage ditch
Skyscraper shadows on a carcrash overpass
My frog
Is savage, tender
It wears no future faces
Owns just random pondweed
My frpg
Has a wanting wardrobe
I still explore
Of all the ponds I knew and those I want to know
My frog
Is a spark of electro flesh
Leased from the spawn of time
And geared for synchromesh
My frog
Is an image lost in algae films
A neon outline
On a high-rise lilypad

Hey, Frog Game made it here! I saw it first from Porpentine's Twitter feed (since changed). Some of the experiences reported above make me think she may have updated it since then.
While I didn't post Frog Game (there are lots of things that I don't end up posting), I did post DOMAIN OF PRIME FROG, which while not Porpentine's was something she tweeted about.

Your frog has resigned in the face of a scandal at the age of 8.

Your frog was a fearsome food eater, widely respected! Your frog was a miraculous singer of worldwide fame! Your frog was extremely athletic, a stunning champ! Your frog made $8 in its lifetime. Your frog was a vampire. Your frog was a little bit evil.
Your frog's highest leap was 9 feet. Prodigous!
I'm not even going to tell you how many times I played to get such an accomplished frog

My frog also resigned in the face of scandal, and was a vampire. I fed it with my own blood, and its eyes turned into rubies.

Your frog's highest leap was 0 feet. Tremendous!
Thank you for FROG
All my frog wanted to do was sing, are you saying that a frog can only be measured in dollars earned and feet leapt?
oh but sincerely, no, thank you for frog, porpentine
