Thousands of Toads Hop Into Montana Town

[emad]

BIG SANDY, Mont. - Thousands of quarter-sized toads have invaded this north-central Montana farming community, causing slippery streets and raising the entrepreneurial spirits of some.

The toads started showing up in the southeast portion of town in the past couple of weeks.

"I have no idea how many thousands of toads are in town," said Charlie Foussard. "At times, you just about can't take a step."

Karen Jesperson said some lawns in town are filled with so many toads, it looks like the grass is moving.

1. Send some my way. Have only seen one all summer.

The 90 Pound Hound is deeply troubled and wants to know where his hopping buds are. I'd like some around to eat those little biting things!

3. Hilarious. I'll stop in Big Sandy and have a look around next month.

I bet the toad plague is a Republican plot to derail the Senatorial campaign of organic farmer John Tester who hopes to run against Senatorial sleazebag extraordinaire Conrad Burns.

5. I wish they would march into Crawford

It would be like a sign from God to chimpy to change his evil ways. The Plague of Toads!!!!
