YSaC, Vol. 1669: I like turtles
2014 February 24
“Tonight, on Learning to Photograph Wild Animals, we’re going to discuss the difficulties of photographing some of the fastest animals in the world. Cheetahs. Leopards. Maseratis. Turtles. We’ll discuss lenses, exposure times…”
“Excuse me.”
“Yes?”
“Turtles??”
3 free snapping turtles with travel tank
U DONT HAVE TO TAKE ALL THREE IM BARELY HOME N I CANT TAKE CARE OF THEM MUST GO ASAP
“As I was saying – some of the fastest animals in the world.”
(Thanks for sending this, Camille!)
But, but, who wins the travel tank?
I’m just not sure storing your spare snapping turtles in the bathtub is sanitary or safe. Unless you want your pet turtle to undergo exploratory surgery with you.
Leo, Mike, and Raph — where’s Don?
Pizza!
Heroes out of focus, turtle power!
I loved them in the sixties….Dino, Desi, and Billy!
( they haven’t aged well, have they?….and yes, I know, Dino is no longer with us.)
Get your bathtub sparkling clean, with Turtle Power!
Don’s obviously fixing to devour Sparky whole from behind the camera shot.
Because you know…..ninja (turtles).
Wait, visible (if blurry) ninja turtles?
Actual turtles not pictured. These are simply decoys.
It’s a trap!
Wait. Maseratis? I thought they were extinct in the wild.
True, but there are breeding programs in certain trophy ZIP codes.
I understand where Sparky is coming from. I have long refused my childrens’ requests to own pet turtles for many reasons; feeding them once or even twice a day, the outrageous lettuce bills, not to mention the amount of exercise they require. You turn your back for an hour and they’re halfway across the room!
Although I am impressed that Sparky went through the trouble to make his bathtub “travel”.
You missed the most important reason why children shouldn’t own SNAPPING turtles: lost fingers.
So the turtles do a little “parenting” for me. I can guarantee my 3 year old won’t mess with random animals again after that.
Maybe Sparky should get them a 24-hour live-in female-only Nanny that he won’t pay but she’ll get internet and cable.
Has anyone else noticed the “travel tank” appears to be a bathtub?
No, C”….”J, but I did notice the “bathtub” appears to be a travel tank…
So the “Turtlehood of the Traveling Tub”?
No, the travel tank doesn’t just appear and the bathtub doesn’t just appear but the turtles seem to be in the process of disappearing.
Imagine me and you, I do,
I think about your travel tank, and why it’s white,
And where I’m s’posed to take a bath, if you’re inside,
Unhappy together……
Hey Demon Duck!!!…that’s an old song by the Turtles, a great band during the sixties, from whom Florescent Leech and Eddie, later Flo and Eddie emerged… what a coincidence that you should choose that particular song for a post about turtles and….what?…you already knew that, huh?…it wasn’t a coincid….oh, okay,…never mind…..sorry….
You left out the part where they did a stint as members of the Mothers of Invention.
I don’t see me lovin’ nobody like you,
In all my liiiiiife!
Those are the rare and little understood Rorschach turtles.
Looks more like turdles to me.
Couldn’t they just return the snapping turtles to the pond they scooped them out of?
Are you sure you want to discuss exposure with this group?
Maybe Sparky should take his free turtles to free Oregon, then they would be twice as free. Twice as free turtles is better than treble free turtles.
