Ha!!! The deception is working!!! The "toads" are really frogs that
they are breeding (If they're in a pond they're frogs, toads are
terrestrial critters)... The plan is to release millions of exploding
frogs over the French border... They'll multiply, be consumed by the
natives, and explode on cue, depopulating the entire county.... The
Krauts will then invade and turn Frog-land over to the US as a buffer
zone between them and the Brits.... After this success they will turn
to the east and will do the same with exploding stuffed cabbage
rolls... Brilliant!!!! The beginning of the 4th Reich.... The
culmination of the plan will come when all US forces are given leave
in Germany, drink up all the beer and leave the Krauts to shrivel on
the vine.... IMPERIALISM AT ITS BEST.... Ah, now to go to bed and
dream the dreams and sleep the sleep of the pure and brave of
heart....

"She said that tests will continue. In the meantime, city residents have
been warned to stay away from the pond".

....are they worried about the residents being splattered with toad entrails
or that they may start to swell and explode too?

I was thinking removing the rather outdated aghl tag and replace it
with a Valve Fanboy tag instead
Hmm
Actually I am kind of sad that HL2 was finally released, it was so much
more fun in here pre HL2

Oh well can't stop the future can't we :-)

Someone in here (can't be bothered to google it) was moaning about your
sig... apparently, if you put a space after the two hyphens it becomes
a 'sig delimiter', and people who don't want to read your sig can
automagically have it removed.

Personally I can't see the point in having a sig that people can edit
out, but what I particularly liked was the way your sig looks *almost*
as if it's got a delimiter, but not quite Just enough to wind them
up....

Hey Spyder, you Elitist Bastard. I heard tell from DrC you were back. Good
to see you again, fella. Back for good or a fleeting visit?
I myself just awoke from a hibernation away from here, had to climb out of
me tree cos the squirrels kept poaching me nuts.
So what's happening around here, I see SayNo is still hovering about...

Oh, yeah. I remember that now. He got the tradition backwards.
