Camel Toads

My friend Aura sent me this today and thought I should share. Because it’s important to share, my kindergarten teacher taught me that. Sharing is caring, sharing makes the world go around, it takes a village, two birds with the stone is better in the bush, if you see something, say something, etc.

I can totally imagine the mom sitting down with her son and being like, hi Scout, your father and I love you very much but we think you might have a camel toad problem and need help. We are not judging you, we love you and want to help you with your camel toad. It’s tearing our family apart. And of course the son would be like, no one understands me, I’m going to my room. And then blast his music and play Halo 2. And then the parents will be concerned that the music and video games are what’s causing him to hit the camel toad hard. Then maybe the father will think, well when I was his age I experimented and certainly had a few drinks and listened to the Beach Boys and my parents thought I was high on LSD all the time, even though I was just drunk. And the mother will think, but that was different back then. This is CAMEL TOADS.

Also does anyone want a kitten? My co-worker really likes to take in stray animals, and a cat in her backyard just had five kittens and they are super cute. The mom is grey and the dad is black and white. But one of the kittens is Siamese. I guess mom…gets around.

    Oh god, I bust a gut when I saw this. Camel toads. Camel toads. I just want to keep repeating it like Zippy the Pinhead

    I had a pretty bad camel toad problem for years until I finally check myself into a program. Now they’ve got me on super cute kittens. They don’t have the same high as camel toads but at least they help stave off the cravings.

    Debora: Camel toads is not a laughing matter. It’s a serious disease.

    Micah: It’s going to be tough keeping you away from my baby pandas. Go away!

  5. Debora:

    Oh Ok, sorry, you’re right it IS a serious (fit of giggles) dis… (laughing) eeeease.

  6. Aura:

    Best part of Retarded Godparent’s question: where she is worried about the boy LICKING the camel toads. She’s right, though, licking camel toads can have a narcotic effect. But speaking of camel toads, have you ever seen pictures of Ice-T’s wife Coco? She has a serious Camel Toad problem.

    “smoking, taking, or licking them”?! MUAH HA HA HA!! That is the funniest thing I have read that isn’t supposed to be funny in a looooong time. Thanks for that!
