take a video of yourself burning ballots? seems kinda dramatic

The New England summer of 1758 had been especially hot for eastern Connecticut, so hot in fact that a marshy artificial pond (creatively named “Frog Pond”, as it would be precisely the ecological niche a frog would prefer)

[…]

having abandoned their dried up pond, an army of bullfrogs marched on the Winnomantic River intending to conquer its more hospitable climes and usurp the current amphibious residents. Estimates of the number of frogs involved suggest they filled a road that was forty yards wide for four miles in length, and their martial column took several hours to pass entirely through Windham. When morning broke, the pond and the river were littered with thousands of dead frogs, slain in battle. It is unclear which frog faction won the day, and some conspiracy theorists have suggested there was a cover-up of colonial war crimes when the frogs were massacred by Windham residents, but obviously, there having been no recurrence of frog warfare in Connecticut, perhaps the horror of the carnage at the Battle of Windham Frogs forced them to eternally embrace the philosophy espoused by H.G. Wells when he observed, “If we do not end war — war will end us”. A little known fact is that Kermit the Frog’s original statement was “War is Hell”, but he decided to go Zen, and simply declare “It’s not easy being green”.
