Kill a toad day?

Official Proposes ‘Kill a Toad’ Day

It’s not often that a government official calls upon a nation to go on a killing spree. But Australian Minister of parliament Shane Knuth was so fed up with the country’s cane toad problem, he plans to propose a national toad killing day.

Although the campaign sounds like a call to arms, the event will most likely resemble a collective Easter egg hunt rather than a deer hunt. Knuth, who admitted to taking out his angst by pelting the critters with golf clubs, recommended that the toads be shoved into plastic bags and tossed in the freezer — a method he felt was more “humane.””

Ok, this problem sounds like it sucks ass. Send Beavis and Butthead down there to play some frog baseball. Just kidding.

Are these things edible? Couldn’t they have a bigass toad BBQ?

HELL NO.

The Cane Toad is now considered a pest in many of its introduced regions, because its toxic skin kills many native predators when ingested. It has many negative effects on farmers because of pets and animals eating the creatures. “

I can’t imagine that toad golf would really work out for you. Sounds like the payoff on that is not good. I’m not sure I want to be splattered in toad guts. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t feel the urge to pull out the Big Bertha, but Knuth is pretty hardcore.

I don’t understand why Australian kids are coming up so weak here. Shit, send over a crew of American kids with some Blackcats. American kids just looooove to blow up small animals. You’d have toadguts blasted everywhere. Problem solved.

Viral Video: 2 Elephants 1 Trunk

Posted In: Clownin', Internet, Videos, Viral Videos

In a recent round of Call of Duty 4 with RyGuy and Spanky, some guy during the game suggested that we check out the video called “Two Elephants One Trunk“. This is obviously yet another spin-off of the infamous 2 Girls 1 Cup video. It seems there is a phenomenon on the internet of putting various “X# blanks and 1 blank” together to form disgusting or funny videos. This is not intended for kids, unless of course your kids are the ones heard laughing as this video is being shot by their parents.

“Sex takes 3 to 13 minutes.” Thank you. I had no clue.

Sex takes 3 to 13 minutes, study says

A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life.

If that sounds like good news to you, don’t cheer too loudly. The time does not count foreplay, and the therapists did rate sexual intercourse that lasts from 1 to 2 minutes as “too short.”

No shit. Maybe the sexual noobs don’t know this stuff, but I doubt that they’re that ignorant. After all, every other comic on Comedy Central makes a joke about either premature ejaculation or sex taking too long. (Remember the “Wrap it up” box?)

Ok, maybe hardcore Christian sexual noobs don’t know this stuff. They’ve been busy:

But those sexually-competent folks hardly need this study. I’m sure the clock gets involved sometimes.

“Oh Spanky, but it’s up to science to confirm or falsify what the folk believe.”

Fine. You read the journal article. I’m busy.

Twenty-eight percent of the public is aware that nearly 4,000 U.S. personnel have died in Iraq over the past five years, while nearly half thinks the death tally is 3,000 or fewer and 23 percent think it is higher, according to an opinion survey released yesterday.”
