Michigan J. Frog

For three days now, I have been trying to capture Troy doing his full-body flex on video. Basically, he screams at the top of his lungs while sticking his legs and arms straight out and flexing every muscle in his body. I'm not really sure what he's doing, but it reminds me of a body builder psyching himself up. But he's also notoriously elusive when it comes to actually capturing him doing it on film. 




He will do it for ten minutes straight, but the moment I pick up the phone to capture it, he stops. If I put the phone down, he’ll do it again. It’s like Michigan J. Frog from the Looney Tunes cartoon. The frog that sang and danced for the homeless guy that found him, as long as nobody else was around. The moment that someone came around, he went back to just being a frog again. I can feel that guy's pain at having nobody else believe that the frog is doing it.
