I caught your reference, but toads aren't frogs.

Frogs! (Good God, y'all!)

What are they good for?

Absolutely nothing! (Listen to me...)

FROGS! They ain't nothing but a heartbreaker,
Frogs! Friend only to the undertaker.
Uh! Frogs are an enemy to all mankind,
The thought of frogs blows my mind.
Frogs have caused unrest within the younger generation,
Induction then destruction...who wants to die?

Haaaaaah!

Frogs!

...okay, this has just about run its course.

But it is true that frogs can't give life, they can only take it away.

You know, this thread has caused a certain amount of off-topic rambling (and unrest within the younger generation), but precious few uses for frogs. I'm disappointed in all of you right now.

I've heard that frogs can give you a good idea of how the environment is doing. If there are a lot of frogs, then it's doing good in that area. Fewer frogs means nature is getting a bit out of whack. Deformed frogs means that the environment is really polluted and bad.

Well, there was my serious answer. Now for the utter nonsense:

If you have a bat but don't have a baseball, a large frog will be a suitable replacement...once.

Frogs, if we're to believe The Muppet Show (and we are), are capable of running and appearing in complex theater and television programs on a weekly basis.

They're actually very good accountants, though they don't have the sense to get off a busy road on a rainy day.

Frogs write most of Hollywood's teen-oriented comedies. Oh, you said what are they GOOD for...

They make good doorstops, with the right amount of rubber cement.

What connection? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions. And rainbows have nothing to hide.

Nothing to hide? You are so naive. If they have nothing to hide, what's with the illusions? Answer me that, kid!

Actually, you can do alot with frogs.

They make excellent toys for small children.

If you kill one and rip out it's tongue then you can smack people with it and it's fun. Still sticky too!

Some aboriginee tribes in the amazon boil the skins of poisonous frogs in order to make powerful paralyzing agents.

If you put makeup on frogs and then attach wires to their arms a nd legs then you can make a muppet.

Richard Gere uses frogs when he runs out of Gerbils.

Just a suggestion, but if a discussion hasn't been posted to for more than two weeks, it's likely that people have moved on to other topics.

It's just as easy to start a new discussion if you feel the need to share your inane drivel with the world.
