Ahoy all!
Today I am off to see Captain Bufo, the Marine Toad (aka Cane Toad) that has successfully taken over the Eastern Front of Australia. Attttennnnnnntttioooon!
Marcella: Good morning Captain Bufo, how are you today?
Captain Bufo: At ease. Good morning Marcella. I am well, thank you.
Marcella: I am under the impression that you are successfully invading the Australian continent?
Captain Bufo: True. If we keep the troops strong and reproductive we might just win this war.
Marcella: When did the troops arrive, and how many do you have with you now, Sir?
Captain Bufo: We started the advance from Hawaii in 1935 with 3000 men. Our force has grown stronger over the last 70 years. We have over 200 million active duty men ready to fight on the front line; the border of New South Wales.
Marcella: Will the weather stay in your favor?
Captain Bufo: Here in Gordonvale it’s mostly sunny with a high reaching around 33 degrees today. My men are trained to cope without much water.
Marcella: Being in the Marines, don’t you attack from the water?
Captain Bufo: No. We are a terrestrial branch of the Navy. It is often misunderstood that we fight from the water. We just reproduce in the water.
Marcella: Any special weaponry that you are using to win this war?
Captain Bufo: Our numbers are the most intimidating, but we are also individually equipped with a poisonous outer jacket.
Marcella: Wow you sound incredibly dangerous. Do you have a military strategy to win this war?
Captain Bufo: (In an Eastern European accent) If I tell you, I will have to kill you! Ha, just a little military joke…just sign this confidentiality agreement. Our strategy is simple: outsmart the enemy!
Marcella: But how do you outsmart the enemy?
Captain Bufo: We were introduced to this nation to control the aggressive Cane Beetles that were attacking farmers crops. Little did the enemy know that we have a hibernation period exactly the opposite to the Cane Beetle. Together, our two forces The Cane Toads and The Cane Beetles, made an alliance. Together we fight effectively and rapidly; eating and poisoning anything that gets in our way.
Marcella: What is the enemy doing to counter attack?
Captain Bufo: They have an excellent Air Force. Their birds are called the Black Kites. They have weakened our troops by learning to attack our under-belly. We also have to watch for traitors such as Dahl’s Aquatic Frogs who are eating our young tadpoles. It gets dirty when you start attacking the small fry.
Marcella: Do you ever think about pulling your troops out of here and going back to your homeland in Central America?
Captain Bufo: There is no other home than here with my military brothers and sisters. We must maintain our power to dominate this nation! Pulling out so early will make us look like weak worry warts. Impossible!
Marcella: Whoa, Sir. I think that is where I might have to leave you. It looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you today. Thank you kindly for your precious time.
Captain Bufo: It was my pleasure Marcella. Have you ever thought of joining our defensive efforts?
Marcella: I am sorry to admit that I am a pacifist and don’t believe much in fighting in wars. Besides, I am too busy trying to get “The Best Job in the World.”
