Either Sidney Greenstreet, or Jabba the Hut; the latter is the 7 Deadlies personified… or perhaps incarnate, since Jabba's not human and therefore not a person. Oy, I'm opening another can of philosophical worms, aren't I? And thanks for commenting, Daria. It helps keep up the illusion. ;)Mrs. Pinkertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430881135921278001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696426935279789613.post-40676751351820569542015-11-29T18:59:52.071-05:002015-11-29T18:59:52.071-05:00I think we also get to apply these revenge and con...I think we also get to apply these revenge and conquer psalms to Satan and his demon hordes.

No real answers. The only guess that made some sense is that maybe the toad's bloated, swollen appearance makes us think of a fat old rich guy. Sort of a Sidney Greenstreet (in Casablanca) persona. Not a few hits mentioned as an aside that Toad of Toad Hall, although in many ways a genial and generous fellow, could be obsessively grasping once he'd set his heart on something. Anyhow, no real answers, but lots of fun speculating. Daria Sockeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757677035826817918noreply@blogger.com
