They're poisonous? Eat the bastards, punishment for unleashing Fosters on the unsuspecting world. Bah, can't anyone besides Jamaica make a decent beer anymore?
They may be arthritic
But they can still beat the Wallabies at Rugby.
Nice pets
ok as long as you don't swash them, oh and the fact you get a 'buzz' if you lick their backs.....
that 90's call comes to mind ...Assscidddd
A plague of Arthritic Australian Toads.
They've cloned Rupert Murdoch?
The Driza and the hat with the corks on it, thanks.
