nitegirl : i'm taking it your in the country side
Catty: a plumber might be needed :(
Zu2nyte: better to try to rescue it
Juran : lol
Iumi: Drano wasn't made for frogs
Moonglow: okay, If he is in the pipes, then you need to shut off the connection to the water unless you want him ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PIPES ..... then you'd have to call a plumber
Iumi: Or their bodies
Dale : frogs can breathe forever underwater, can they? so it'll have to surface for air someday...
Iumi: Draine*

Phinn: I think they lose their gils right?

Zu2nyte: is he facing out?
Timmy : geezus you guys live in freaky places....ive never had any kind of animal in my toilet. Although once i did have a cat eating a cake i had cooling on the counter...and i dont own a cat

Phinn: I have NO clue how it got in there
Phinn: lol Timmy
Zu2nyte: can you see its head?
Noelani thinks this is a clear example of why the top should be left DOWN

Phinn: no, it's back far enough where I can't see it's head
Iumi: This makes me have a lot of general butt fear
Zu2nyte: try to grab its hind legs
Zu2nyte: i think if you hold them by the legs with their head down they fall asleep
Timmy : do you guys live in a swamp? :s

Iumi: Or a rat
Zu2nyte: your sure its not an alligator?
Dale : or two frogs

Phinn: haha true.. and I have a rat in a cage right now.. just a little white one Dck.. although a rat in my toilet would probably freak me out worse than a big ole frog
Iumi: Yes
Iumi: And rats bite
Phinn: some frogs do too... o.0
Dale : maybe the rat could chase out the frogs...
Juran : Well when I was a kid I put one in the toilet once but never admitted it, everyone thought is swam up the pipes

Phinn: lol.. a Kirby is a bit epensive to die over a frog
Iumi: Dyson: It doesn't lose suction when you're sucking frogs out of your toilet bowl

Areck: Here's how you get him out ... go away and check back tomorrow...
Zu2nyte: i looked on wiki
Emee: i would say that is not a bad idea Arek
Emee: Areck*
Emee: lol, what'd wiki say?
Zu2nyte: pour salt in
Iumi: There's a wiki for toilet frogs? Are there kawaii blog subnotes?
Marcophoto: shit.
Marcophoto: nooooooo
Zu2nyte: wont hurt the frog

Phinn: salt in?
Marcophoto: he probably swam up the pipes...so flush him back down.
Zu2nyte: it will make it want to relocate
Phinn: ahh
Iumi: It might react a bit with the frog's skin making him want to leave
Iumi: Fresh water creature and all
Phinn: hmm

Phinn: salt and a 11 year old boy.. I have them bth!
Zu2nyte: are they frogs or toads? is this a septic/leach or public? try pouring a box of rock salt down the toilet. water frogs aren't big on salt. chances are they are living in your drainage system full time but only come up during rain. if you run some salt through there about once a month it will make the environment undesirable for them and they'll look for another place to live. It's not toxic so it won't hurt the frogs or anything else that is probably living there as well. more than likely you have breaks in your piping caused by either age or tree roots. the salt will help keep the tree roots from moving in there in search of water and doing more damage
Phinn: cool!
Emee: lol, Gratz Phinn, you'll be the first on your block to have a salt water toilet

Phinn: florida + rain + frog = toilet frogs!
Areck: and salt water froggy
Phinn: lol yay!
Maras : what about the drano?
Maras : and clorox
Maras : :(
Areck: and a whole new flush sound effect
Zu2nyte: nooo
Areck: ribbit KABOOM !
Phinn: HAHAHA

Phinn: sounds like a bugs bunny cartoon!
Zu2nyte: if its a toad it may be poisonous
Iumi: BILLY MAYS HERE FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
Areck: Acme drain cleanr
Iumi: DO YOU HAVE FROGS IN YOUR TOILET?
Marcophoto: lick it...see if you get high
Iumi: KABOOM THEM AWAY
Phinn: hahahahahah!!!
Zu2nyte: dont touch without some plasticc between you
Iumi: That's like that junkie smoking a joint he dropped in the toilet
Iumi: IT WAS IN
Iumi: *THE TOILET*
Moonglow: If you're on a septic system then you should do Rid-ex once a month or so
Zu2nyte: what state are you in?

Phinn: yeah.. I have a box.. just haven't used it
Phinn: Florida
Moonglow covers her eyes and shakes her head .... USE IT GIRL! ... Much cheaper than calling a plumber

Zu2nyte: here's an article:

Logobros, I live in Florida. I have had not one, but TWO frogs in my toilet that I can remember. Lots of critters get into the house, especially on cool days when we leave the doors open (frogs, lizards, snakes, birds, possums, raccons, squirrels...we've had 'em all).

We never thought the toilet frogs came up through the sewer, we figured they came into the house, hopped around for a while, and found water. I remember being 8 years old, and lifting up the toilet lid only to find this THING looking at me. I screamed and ran for my father. it was only a little tree frog, but it scared the crap out of me - almost literally. So, yes, it does happen. I'd naturally freak out when encountering something in my toilet, but would not be terribly surprised if it was something local.
--------------------------------

Dale : haha woot
Zu2nyte: BTW - the "very large bullfrog" was most likely a Bufo toad. The poisonous kind. Bufo marinus . Your aunt should not have touched it (it's the kind that secretes poison through its skin) and if her dog licks it, he will get horribly sick and may die. I'm not joking, these are very largy, ugly, warty-looking toads that were introduced from South America, and they will make your pets ill if they injest the toxins. They can grow up to 4 or 5 inches long. They are an invasive, dangerous species so don't go out of your way to save them. I'm just sayin'...

Zu2nyte: maybe call animal control after all.
Emee: hmmm, back to being scared again to ever use the toilet.... thanks Zu

Iumi: My butt is puckering now
Marcophoto: butt puckering? You gonna kiss it with your butthole?

Phinn: lol.. I don't want to call animal control for merely a frog.. I too have had a racoon in my house eating my cat's food.. and didn't call animal control then.
Phinn: hahahaha
Zu2nyte: well if its a frog np
Emee: might be time to buy stock in "Depends"
Zu2nyte: if a toad, thats different
Dale : or a plumber.....
Zu2nyte: they may tell you to flush
Iumi: I guess toads don't like depends
Zu2nyte: but it be worried about plumbing

Phinn: I just tried salt.. gonna go look again and see if it comes up.. if it gets in the bathub or shower it's at least catchable
Zu2nyte: didit swim away?
Emee: did it do anything ?
Areck: throw a towel over the side into the toilet ..the sides are too silppery for him to get out ..he can crawl /hop up the towel like a ladder
Dale : woo clever

Marcophoto: Phinn....THANKS FOR MY BLOG FOR TOMORROW

Conclusion.... Did the frog get out of the toilet? Did Phinn get IN the toilet with the frog? Did the Phinn family have Eue de Toiletto Froggo Legs for supper? "Tune in tomorrow for......a story of ribbeting proportions!"
