The "I Love Frogs" Thread

Frogs like bromeliads.

What is the worst animal going? Philosophically, humans, but irrationally, centipedes, and cockroaches.

Ooh yes; I hate cockroaches and beetles...

Now I'm wondering what I'd do if I found myself, when I woke, transformed into a giant cockroach. That story is, unsurprisingly, so uncomfortable...

You'd not only have a frog in your throat, but probably a Kafka too, drom.

You'd like my house. The centipedes are falling from the air vents.

But I can't complain. Since the centipedes started emmerging, the silverfish population seems to have declined.

Oh, bromeliad, I would be stressed where you live...

Give me goldfish over silverfish any day.

Deteriorated? I'd say it was an improvement if it got rid of the frogs!

Ewwww...I hate slimy creatures.

I fear my thread has degenerated into intolerance of our slick-skinned friends. I guess it's time to pull out the big guns . . .

TOMATO FROG!!!

Throw it in the fryer and toss some balsamic over it. Mmmm....tomato frog.....

Oh, dear, poor thing, he has exopthalmic eyes!!

Ain't they the cutest exopthalmic eyes you ever did see?

Yes, really they are, Kicky. Plus, look, look! at the cute fingers..

Are those technically fingers, or toes?

That's a very impressive looking frog, kicky.

And . . . BAM!

Golden Poison Arrow Frog!!





To the Indian tribes these little frogs are most useful. They catch them and put them close to a fire. As soon as the frogs start to become hot they exude a kind of slime from their bodies, which the Indians scrape off and collect. This slime prepared in special way, is a most potent poison, and the Indians use it to dip the tips of their arrows in. Thus, when the arrow strikes an animal - even a quite powerful one, like a wild pig - the poison works very rapidly and kills the beast.

Let's see a penguin do THAT.

I don't believe a penguin would want to.

.....and how's the frog after all this?

You really think frogs are going to get more love here than the hamsters did?

Frogs are much more appealing than hamsters.
Hamsters are too much like mice and rats. Blechhhhhhhh.

One of the best things about golfing in the country is the frogs in the ponds.
