International Toad Day

Today is International Toad Day. Also known as Toaday, not to be confused with Toady.

To mark this occasion which is particularly celebrated in Santa Cruz, California for no apparent reason, go kiss one. Or better yet, barbeque one. With beer. Delicious.

The past few of mornings, while running in the predawn around the bayou, I almost stepped on a couple of toads. That would be a good idea too, except they make such a squishy mess. Envision the double X’d eyes and the little pink tongue extending from the grimaced lips. Do toads have lips? Dead, dead, dead.

This message was not environmental approved by Live Earth, Al Gore or Robert Kennedy Jr. To anyone who gets the joke, CHEERS. And if you took it personally, TOAD on U.
