i was sitting in my comfy recliner today when something bit me on the toe thumb. in an instance i thought it was a tarantula.. i yanked my foot up in the air 2 feet high, shaken, looked down and this s.o.b was just sitting there laughin his arse off

Toe thumb? Cronxeh, I'm not sure we can allow you to switch to bio, we try to sequester the folks with webbing and extra body parts into physics. Just take a look at DocToxyn's body there and you'll see where we set the bar for biologists! :biggrin:

I know.. I'm afraid I won't be able to switch into Bio if I want my BS by 2007 :frown:

I'll stick with an MS in Biomedical Eng by 2008 though :-p

You served yourself with...turtle? Keep that up and you'll be on the endangered species list. :-p
cronxeh said:
I don't name my turtle. Its so slow that I barely stick around for a conversation :rolleyes:
Don't feel bad about not naming your turtle (very nice turtle BTW). Many owners don't give their turtles names. Also, taking it slow can be good, but you should stick around for at least a little conversation. :rolleyes: Biting turtles--not good.

Join us again next week when we will discuss my favorite topic, pigs. :-p

I'll take your word for it. Personally, I've never bitten one.

Yeah, it can be really weird when guys name their turtles.

Oh what about women naming their cats?

I'm starting to suspect that you're confusing the 'turtle' with the 'one-eyed zipper eel'. A common mistake; they look quite similar from the neck up.

Exactly. The "one-eyed zipper eel" becomes a "turtle" when immersed in water (hot tubs, etc.)

You call that water?

Last I checked the pH was around 4! :eek:

Are you people TRYING to get our turtles sick?

Oh, no, not at all. Turtles aren't much fun to play with when they hide in their shells.

Hello everyone. A few more days and this semester will be over with :smile:

How is everyone else doing?
 
  • #3,665
You hear that, Danger?

There is a conspiracy on a global scale (they already took over division cycles and stay ahead of us by almost 2 % in numbers!) to systematically and innately break down the calcium shells on our turtles by use of their acid!

Now, now, now, calm down. So many urban myths! For example, you will not go blind if your turtle comes out of it's shell. Turtles are a valued creation and must be protected. That is why we opened the clinic you know.

Absolutely! We take great pride in the loving care we give to turtles. :approve:

That depends entirely upon the temperature of the water and the quality of the company. :-p

'Suzie' is actually the only one I'm familiar with by name. I found that a little distracting.

So you only date Jewish boys?

I hate to disillusion you, but the term 'bone' is just a euphamism. I might be pretty freakin' old, but I don't have a calcium shell yet.

Correct. One can't go around exposing turtles to every environment. It is good to know a few basics of accepted turtle care.

Turtles require the proper environment to truly grow and be happy. Turtles like warm moist surroundings. This can make them just poke their heads out of their shell, raise up, and dive right in and come back out and dive right in again, and come right out again. :-p Just a happy happy turtle. :-p

I'm going to go wash my turtle and put it to sleep, since its already sleepy.

Yeah, I'm a softy when it comes to turtles. If I see one out on the street, I always stop to pick it up and move it into the bushes.

Well my turtle doesn't usually talk to strangers - I taught it well - but if you stick around for a while.. I'll introduce you two

I didn't know turtles talked to anyone! :eek: I think I'll stick with the silent ones.

Real bushes, or merkins?

cronxeh said:

This is a bit off-topic, and not something that you run across every day... but in an emergency, a real turtle can be used as a silencer. And if you don't mind a little GSR in your soup, there can be side benefits. (Sorry, Evo. Really, honey... this has nothing to do with Roger...)

I'm easily amused tonight. I spent the entire day in bed with a migraine that had me wishing my head would just explode and get it over with.

LOL! I was thinking about that as I was trying to figure out why someone would want or need a merkin. Must be for those not-so-natural blondes who want to prove they are a natural blonde. :biggrin: Just seems easier to get rid of the evidence.

Quite acceptable under most circumstances. I do find that if I have a cold, it's nice to have an absorbent nose-rest. :-p
