As a box of frogs, MO

WigWamBam · 24/08/2005 17:47

Not the world, just Mumsnet. Mad as snakes.

Are boxes of frogs mad? Were they mad before they got in there, or do they only select mad ones to go into the box???

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 17:49

Perhaps the box makes them mad?

I thought it was a bag of sticks?
or am I mixing my metaphors?

moozoboozo · 24/08/2005 17:50

Have you not heard that before? I would imagine a box of frogs would be pretty mental, actually

flamesparrow · 24/08/2005 17:51

Lol - that was the other option I meant to put... otherwise I've just reworded the same option twice.

Bag of sticks is clearly mad though... barking in fact

iota · 24/08/2005 17:52

whatever happened to a good old fashioned "mad as a hatter"? or am I a dinosaur?

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 17:52

can sticks bark?

Nutty as a fruitcake

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 17:52

I say 'hatter' too

OP posts:
katierocket · 24/08/2005 17:53

it's a good point though, I wonder why a bag of sticks is mad? (can totally see the mental frogs )

QueenOfQuotes · 24/08/2005 17:53

definitely mad as a hatter .

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 17:55

wouldn't it be mad to carry a bag of sticks around? logistics and all that.. m uch more sesible to have a basket of sticks

Do sticks not bark to you?

Is that just me????

iota · 24/08/2005 17:57

I always thought sticks snapped not barked (especially f you step on them)

katierocket · 24/08/2005 17:57

only the special sticks flamesparrow.

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 17:58

Don't worry flamesparrow - embrace the sticks!

Are they special in the same way that DH and my sister pat my head and tell me that I'm "special"

MascaraOHara · 24/08/2005 18:02

yes!

Perhaps we should have a new thread - what's the madder?

Have to take your word for that...
