Cane Toad Races

There’s weekly event like none other on earth. The Cane Toad Races. Well, I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t participate, so I bid to buy my toad and here we go.
I kiss the toad; this is a mandatory ritual before the races, aaaand we’re off! Fat Bastard, Freddo the Homosexual frog and Camel Toad are the stars of the races. The idea is to persuade them to jump off the table by any means possible except you’re not allowed to touch them with your hands. So we’re all given a party flute and whistle the unfortunate amphibians off the table. Yelling at them doesn't help... believe I've tried.

I apparently have a technique that works as my toad is the first one off the table and on the ground. I now have to catch my toad, and bear in mind that I am carrying Kieran on my Right Arm, and dunk the toad in a bucket at the other end of the stage. Bang! Slam! Dunk! I win... Whoohoo. Me big bombastic toad master. I think my next career move is to become a toad-stable master.
