Date: 2010-07-26 09:07 am (UTC)I'm not sure where Toad is from. It has been a while since I followed the X-Men comics. They got so stupid with crossovers and whatnot, I finally threw my hands up.
Seriously, our cold weather lasts all of about two months tops, if that, and it's not cold the way you'd view cold. Not. at. all.

Date: 2010-07-26 02:17 pm (UTC)But evo Toad has a lot of 'dawg' and 'foo' and 'yo'. Sounds vaguely southern, doesn't it? Or am I way off?
