What’s A Horny Toad
Perhaps to Easterners, it’s a frog anxiously awaiting an answer to a mating call. Some other innocent soul might visualize a frog with spikes. Well, they are answers, however wrong, but a man named Webster put in a lot of research and when he publicized his book, telling what things meant, he came up with “…any of several, small, scaly insect-eating lizards of the family Iguanidae, genus Phrynosoma, whose body somewhat resembles that of a toad or frog.
The Truly Forgettable Saga of the Horny Toad
Sometime during the last century, an old prospector working the area a few miles northeast of the little town of Phoenix, Arizona, came upon a small watering hole. He thought to himself that this here was mighty purty scenery and he’d bet them easterners would give an arm and a leg for some of this property. They could build them some roads and put up funny names on the street signs and everybody’d be carefree, even if they had to live in caves and drink from the creek.
