The toads, which can grow up to 9 inches in length and are not native to Florida, excrete a pasty, white toxin from glands on their backs when threatened or disturbed.
Sounds like there will be a lot of folks seeing Martha Stewarts face on a dogs body chasing them down the street.

Could be worse: I'd take frogs over lice anyday.
However, I'd prefer chickens over frogs. God, I love chicken parmigiana.

Frog parmigiana tastes just like chicken, FYI.

Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?
Or is that when the frogs all disappear and the cows go mad?
Who's got a bible handy?

They'll be gone before Halloween. In the meantime, time to stock up on goodies for the trick or treaters

*sound similar to a diesel truck idling in background*
Sarge: Ok ladies, listen up. We're entering deep enemy territory and we're outnumbered several thousand to one.
Frogs: Ribbit. *Splat*
Sarge: In the immortal words of Winston Churchill, "We will fight them in the trees and in the swamps and on the patios! Ask not what you did to your country, but why two birds in the hand in time saves nine! When the going get tough, we spray chlorine in the trenches of ..."
Private: Um, Sarge, there appears to be a frog in your underpants and it smells funny here, can we go now?
Sarge: ...trenches of...that's not a frog, I'm just happy to see you. *ducks* And furthermore...
Frogs: AMBUSH!!
The battle rages out of control, as frog glop and chlorine turns the battlefield red with...wait, what color is frog glop?
Roger Dog Herk! Herk!
Arthur Herk: It's Martha Stewart, and she's coming to take my soul!!
It's too early for this. I need coffee.

Announcer: "In another exciting episode of Mother Nature Goes Wild!"
And PETA should be out there to protect these poor creatures. After all, aren't they upset about historical frog jumping contests?

"MOCK FROG?! We use no artificial preservatives or ingredients of ANY kind!"

Frogs often swarm streets and get crushed by cars ... "That's pretty normal," Day said. "I hit frogs all the time."
I'm outraged. Yikes!

Skink would be thrilled.

Mudstuffin got my line.
My other question is, did Dave post this to bring more attention to his novel/ You know, where the guy got high by licking the toad? And how much research did Dave have to do for that one?
IRS: Mr. Barry, you want to deduct $4,000 for toads for reasearch?
Dave: Well, actually, only $136 was for the toads, the rest was for the munchies.

They are also all over everything in Orlando too.
We thought they were trying to take over.

Anybody else remember the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore routine about the "Frog and Peach" restaurant?
