Is this what we can expect from Giclee prints?

bob and connie shepard got off, but you won't be so lucky, Butzi!

No, Butzi will be let go because his toad's chemicals are used as part of the developer and toner.

Ok, now, Paul. That was just weird.

People dry the secretions from the toad and SMOKE it?

And this guy got so high that he claimed he could "hear the electrons jumping orbitals in his molecules". Seriously, that's not for me. My blood pressure rises when I hear the trucks use their jake brakes on the highway near my home - that's something like a mile and a half away.
If I could hear electrons change states, I'd lose what little mind I've got left in a great big hurry.

But I love the quote from the Calaveras County narcotics agent - "What is the human race going to do next? Grind up clarinets and smoke them?". And now that he's said that, I'm confident that some Calaveras resident is down in the basement, busy with mortar and pestle, grinding up a clarinet...

Wow, that's weird. That's all I can say about that - it's just weird.

creating hallucinogenic toads is not illegal.

But possessing them might be.

I hope the punishment is that they lock you in a room and make you listen to all your electrons changing states. Sure as heck would serve them right.

I'm in Tucson, which is right in the middle of Colorado River Toad country. In the wet season, the little critters are all over the place. About ten years ago, a local doctor/national author (Andrew Weill, sp?) on alternative medicine did a cover story for a local weekly paper, and smoked some dried toad venom in the presence of the reporter, who of course reported it. It made for a lot of jokes, but it never caught on around here.

But I do sometimes see stories on it from California and elsewhere. Who knows? Maybe TTP (Toxic Toad Puss) will be the drug of the future...

Oh, yeah, the obligatory dictionary definition. From WordReference.com: [pre]For giclée:
Principal Translations:
giclée nf spraying
giclée nf squirting

Additional Translations:
giclée nf spritz[/pre]

Hmmmmm......

But I do sometimes see stories on it from California and elsewhere. Who knows? Maybe GP (giclée printing) will be the drug of the future...

And so the narcotics agents of Calaveras County were given a new mission: the destruction of all prints, made with Toad Spray-It-On-Me Ink or not. Evidence indicated that Toad Toner was used to process prints made from Toad Skin Paper. Additional chemicals, Feral Toad Developer, Toad Stop (Go-Make-It-Baby) Bath, and Toad Good Times Fixation were also noted as being used.
