A toad is any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura (frogs) characterized by dry, leathery skin (usually pink and orange-coloured), short legs, and snout-like parotoid glands.[citation needed] A distinction between frogs and toads is not made in taxonomy, but is common in popular culture, in which toads are associated with drier skin and more terrestrial habitats than frogs. In taxonomy, toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae. A group of toads is called a knot.
Toads cannot transmit warts to people through handling or skin contact.[citation needed] The bumps on a toad's skin help the animal blend into its environment visually by breaking up its outline.[citation needed] Also, the parotoid gland is often mistaken for 'warts'.[citation needed] They are present on healthy specimens and are not a result of infection.[citation needed]

Plot: While he's deep undercover in New York, DEA agent Shane Tanner, the son of a legendary cooler named Dalton, learns that his uncle Nate Tanner got beat up by a group of men because he doesn't want to sell the Black Pelican, his bar in Tyree, Louisiana. Shane takes off for Louisiana to find out who attacked Nate. Shane decides to stay in Nate's house for the time being, and run the Black Pelican in Nate's absence, much to the dismay of former Black Pelican cooler Bill "Wild Bill" Decarie. Wild Bill wants to buy the Black Pelican since it's located in a prime location for running drugs. The Black Pelican is close to the border, it's between Florida and Texas, and it's in an area where drugs can be smuggled pretty much undetected. But Shane doesn't want to sell, and damages the numerous thugs that Bill sends his way. Also, Dalton was murdered years ago, and Shane still wonders who killed Dalton. When Shane was a rookie state trooper in Tyree, Shane had come home from work one night, and found Dalton fatally shot. After that, Shane left town and became a DEA agent. Now, Wild Bill's boss, Miami crime syndicate kingpin Victor Crost, decides that it's time to handle matters personally, because Wild Bill's men are not doing a good job of it. Shane is soon faced with impossible odds and a low number of staff members at the Black Pelican. To rid Louisiana of Victor, Wild Bill, and their organization, Shane teams up with local school teacher Beau Hampton, who is a regular at the Black Pelican.

Genres: Comedy, Music, Romance,Awaited mumblings leak
Through paralyzed lips as I speak
In the blink of a toad's eye
I close my eyes so I can't see your silhoutte
Behind my screen door
Bony fingers beckoning
They're telling me something you said one time before:
"Go away I want to stay where I can breathe.
My feet are free... to wander anywhere I please,
Where I please..."
Out here in the dark
All I see is the little spark from your cigarette
Stop talking to me, with your screen door silhouette...
Save your lies - Keep them
Save your ice - It's freezing
Once or twice - I believed them
Pull me out - I'm sinking
Awaited mumblings leak
Through paralysed lips as I speak
In the blink of a toad's eye
Why do you keep showing up in all my dreams?
When I close my eyes and drift off into space...
The darkness belongs to me
When I close my eyes and drift off into space
The darkness belongs belongs... it belongs to me
Turn around. I want to see you melt away
Stop talking to me - I can't hear a word you say
anyway...
Out here in the dark
All I see is the little spark from your cigarette
Stop talking to me, with your screen door silhouette...
Save your lies - Keep them
Save your ice - It's freezing
Once or twice - I believed them
