the golden poison dart frog

Ever see a golden poison dart frog?

They are small, bright yellow little bastards.

Cute eh?

Check it out:

When you’re this pretty, everyone wants a piece of you.

The problem?

This sucker is so deadly toxic it’s considered one of the most poisonous creatures on earth.

Like it, but don’t lick it.

The poison - batrachotoxin - will drop you faster than a bunion drops a bunter. (It’ll kill you PDQ)

We cuties need to be toxic from time to time.

It’s not you, it’s me.

It’s a great way to keep the kind of wack-o’s who lick frogs to stay the hell away.

So my beautiful fools - if someone calls you toxic, smile and agree.

It’s often better to be a hot toxic mess than the kind of person who goes around licking frogs.
