Okay. I found this toad at my grandmother's bramble-infested garden, which I named either Henry or Henrietta (because I don't know the toad's gender), last Saturday. I captured the toad because I wanted to take it to the hospice garden, where it will be safer, I think. I kept it inside a plastic container with a couple of holes on its lid so it can breathe in oxygen, along with some foilage and some water.
Did I do the right thing by keeping it inside with those conditions at the time? Or was I trying to kill it? I don't know much about toads, but I do know that they are similar to frogs.
Eventually, I took it to the hospice where there is a pond. I let the toad go and it jumped right in the pond. I know that there are only goldfish in there, so I don't think they will eat it.
Today, I'm worried that I think the toad's dead and I fucked up big time. :(
(Yeah, laugh all you want, you assholes. :P)
-
toad fine. don't worry about it. It'll find somewhere cool and damp to lurk no doubt. might eat the goldfish though, unless they're big uns. :D
-
/me wants a picture of henry-henrietta...
as dunc said, should be fine, trav.
lovely eyes, toads...

That's my Henry-Henrietta-transgendered toadie! :)

Yeah, they are nice. I don't understand why people are frightened/ or disgusted by them. :/
Assholes. See if they like being a lonely toad, where you have shit chances of other animals caring about you. :(
-
toads are nice. i once caught a little froggy but let it go of course... now thinking about it the poor thing must have been really scared.

It was either being scared of me for a few hours or being scared and mauled by its predators.
What a man's gotta do, what's a man's gotta do.
-
i named my penis, Henry.
seriously.
-
oh, please, no. :(
really. naming your knob anything is seriously horrifying. i once went out with someone who called his Algernon. even worse, he shortened it (the name, not the knob, fortunately) to "Algy". i cannot tell you how aghast i was.
and that's not all - i actually got xmas and birthday card from him AND ALGY[/b] !!!
is it any wonder i'm so choosy about men?
:'(
-
i once went out with someone who called his Algernon.
After the mouse ? ? ? :o
Damn, now I have to get that image out of my head. Thanks, satan.
-
le travesti angelique, your beloved toad should be ok, don't worry about him or her. You did a very gallant thing there... ;)
-
oh course a man should name his penis! penii are people too!
my coochie is called Barbara... or Babs for short.
-
i once went out with someone who called his Algernon.
After the mouse ? ? ? :o
Damn, now I have to get that image out of my head. Thanks, satan.
no idea, how he came up with the name.
and you think you have a hard time, getting it out of your head: imagine what I had to get it out of... :o
:laugh:

what?
-
now, now, mcj. /waggy finger, etc. have to give you credit for your persistence in trying though, eh? lol. ;)
-
if you give me credit, then you'll only be encouraging me.
probably not the best idea.
-
possibly. but if it amuses or entertains or interests me, i may just continue to do so. ;)
-
;)
BTW- do toads really cause warts?
-
no.
-
can a witch give you warts?
-
only if you kiss the one on the tip of one's nose.
-
thanks for the info.
hear that lucifer, no nose nuzzles for you. ;D
-
can a witch give you warts?
yes, if you don't behave yourself. i'm pretty good at curing them, though.
millapill, you're just jealous. :P
-
indeed, i am a wartless witch. :P
-
And I am a man in witch drag.

Toady, toad, toady. Cute, little toady. Toaaaddddyyyy...
Long live the toads.
-

-

No, but she does look like that common toad from the pic.
Unfortunately, I do not own a digital camera.
-
good thing all them toaders look about the same. :P

Except for the genitals.
-
so that is what a brittish toad looks like.
for some reason i was imagining prince charles.
ah well.
-
When I saw this title I thought of evil dead II(i think).
-
i thought Charles was part of the simian fam. :laugh:
why'd you think of Evil Dead II, Nomaken? was there a Henrietta in that flick?
-
It was the wife of the archeologist, she spent half the movie in the basement tormenting the shit out of everyone.
-
wasn't that Evil Dead ? he went back in time in the second one, methinks. Army of the Dead.
-
He went back in time in the 3rd movie.
I have reason to believe henrietta was in the second movie because the second movie was originally titled dead by dawn, and at one point in the movie several monsters were screaming "Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn! Dead by dawn!" And the zombie in the basement was pushing it up while chanting this.

I gotta toad story - better than the centipede story actually.
We have toads on our property. When it rains, a dozen of them hop out of the way of the car as we drive down the driveway. We never thought about them much. One night, our dog all of a sudden had a hard time walking, had a little frothing at the lips, and had a vacant stare (yeah, even for a dog, it was evident that something fucked up was going on in his head). I remembered seeing a dessicated, roadkill toad in the yard recently, looking like toad jerky. Turns out that the toads are called Bufo marinus, and they are toxic. Our dog had found the roadkill and brought it up to the house, getting poisoned and drugged while doing so. He was tripping! Bufos have all kinds of neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, and in some areas (namely Florida) they are very toxic to dogs. We rinsed his mouth out with baking soda, and took him to the vet the next day. It took about two weeks for him to get back to normal - he couldn't get up from lying down and we had to help him up every time. He has avoided toads ever since, thank god. I have to wonder what it was like for a dog to be hallucinating.
Subsequently someone told us about an island resident whose drug of choice was bufotoxin. He would collect the toads and touch them, using increasingly greater doses to get high. One day he was tripping, on a cliff, and tried to fly. He ended up falling, impaling himself on a tree, from groin to chest. He survived, but he's permanently in a wheelchair.
-
wow i thought the Army was the second movie. course i kinda wondered how he ended up in the past but then i missed the beginning the last time i saw it and it's been ages since i saw it before that...
-
There are 3 movies, and he accumulates wounds through all 3, but 2 is halfway a sequel and halfway a remake of the last 1. 3 is also partially a remake, but mostly a sequel.
The director never says this directly, but i get the feeling they made evil dead 1 a pure horror, use the money from that to make evil dead II, but realized halfway through they didnt have the budget for a horror and made it a horror comedy, and after its success they made evil dead 3 which was almost all comedy.
-
yeah the third one's really funneh. :P
-
people smoke dried toad skins, i believe (i've read it somewhere, and it's in "american gods", which i've just finished reading again - coincidence, eh?). one of the components of bufotoxin is a hallucinogenic.

rofl I love how everyone ignored this story and went on talking about that movie (funny story though, btw...though i felt bad for your dog)
-
i didn't.
see? i am so inconsequential, people don't even notice my posts... :'(
-
my apologies, lucifer- lack of sleep isn't just affecting fluorescent. :laugh:

One of the reasons I'm here is to learn to be okay with inconsequentiality and my invisibility in the universe.

I did. Oh, wait a minute. Is that a trick question?

Even though you can play in life, even if you do play in life, existence is a spectators sport.

Lucifer, it is natural for men to name their knobs. They don't want strangers making all their decisions. :eyebrows:

:laugh:
Algernon. Algy. sounds like algae. probably after some kind of growth in his nether region...
