Awful Green Things

Awful Green Thing #1: I had occasion several times this month to pass by a certain reception desk which was decorated with numerous frog-related memorabilia in all the major tchotchke groups: plastic, porcelain, semiprecious stone and plush. In response, I went downtown to Merlyn's Games and bought a Heroclix figure of the Toad. To make him fit in better, I painted his brown and purple costume green. I left it at said reception desk, which happened to be unoccupied at the time. One more message in a bottle released into the world.

Awful Green Thing #2: The swamp-spawn known as Katherine Harris, to say nothing of her fellow Creatures From the Far Right. Watch the NARAL video here.

Re: Awful Green Things #1 - that's actually quite clever. Has your addition been noticed yet?

I have no idea. it happens that I'm not likely to go past that desk again, so who knows.

Message in a bottle.

That's better, more subtle. Well played, as the phrase goes.
