Well, Toad = Toadstool = Mushroom...he wasn't supposed to look like an actual toad, I'm sure. But Toad > shrooms too

OMG LMAO!!! I couldn't stop laughing at the last one! It's soooo true too! Hahaha! Great article. I love funny lists like these. keep it up!

Haha. I agree with killemall. Anything you can beat the shit out of and get candy in return is only two words: KICK. ASS.

P.S. Yes, I know kickass is one word, but it was a lame attempt at a joke. So, before any one can hate, just chill.
