For the mini challenge: motorcycle, grandiose, summer, flying off the handle, blue jays

Now, what does that mean? Phrog wondered. He had never heard a disembodied voice at the end of the enrollment ceremony before. Just then he was distracted by a flock of blue jays flying off the handle of the summer motorcycle. It looked rather grandiose in a strange way.

"Oh wow!" he exclaimed as he turned around. He picked up a letter from his desk. He scanned it with all speed, grateful that the housekeeping staff had not tossed it. The letter told him that his quarry had escaped to Iran. Well I guess that is that, he told himself. One more has escaped to the land of many puddles. The last one to go was Jack-in-the-box of apples. (He had shipped himself off in a large tub of apples - subsisting on a case of clam chowder.) He had run off to join the Chorus line in a way, way off Broadway musical. Unfortunately he broke his leg while dancing with a troop of whirling dervishes and had to retire.
