Even when I moved to Idaho I still found a place where I could buy my Shiner Bock. Even my friend stationed in Maryland has some places to get it. It's the only beer I'll drink.

Horned-Toads [or as we always called them, horny toads ]
Although, I believe the fire ants got most of them. You
don't see them anymore.

I can't believe that I am actually agreeing with you on some things, Kerby! Great thread.

BUT...while you are absolutely right that most native Texans called them "horny toads"...? It wasn't fire ants that eventually put them on the "endangered" (or "threatened" list)...as fire ants are a relatively recent phenomenon to Texas. That is, the horny toads started to disappear at least a decade or two before fire ants made their real presence in numbers.

As I read it, it had a lot to do with people "collecting them" -- and they were not "pet type" animals (Also, rounding them up and selling them as "novelties" to northerners who had never seen them before).

Gosh, I remember -- as a kid -- how they were not a rarity at all! I mean, it was not a strange sight to see them in our yard when I was growing up....

This really is a sad thing that they are not around anymore....

Sorta like the presence of lightning bugs contains that element of nostaligia,,,
