Golden Greek TortoiseCategory: pets
I always want to get another sulcata but I can't because they just get to big. Then today I found a kind of tortoise that stays relatively small at 6-7" and is very similar looking to a baby sulcata. Its called a greek golden tortoise . Then I found this site saying golden greeks are not a type of tortoise
Here it is in all its cuteness. I would name it creme puff.
I take it back, nothing is as cute as a baby sulcata.

I was wondering if they would battle or not? Maybe if you feed Basra enough and in spot so he doesn't move for his food they might not.......

I think the Basra might eat the smaller ones.

The Motherload and grace musclesCategory: garden
(e:terry) and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.
tinypliny - 06/18/11 11:56
At this point I will settle for any muscles -graceful or not. Someone asked me if I had shrunk a few inches the other day!

Man, I need to really come to yoga. I have pretty much lost whatever little I had gained. Pretty graceless I am afraid.

Its what (e:enknot) calls the muscles we get from yoga vs the muscles he gets from lifting weights. Considering that moving 3000lbs of material in a hour is is the max performance I need to get out of my body per year, that it was relatively easy, and that the rest time I am just typing, I think "grace" muscles are good enough. I mean why power a Hummer when I really just need a Vespa.

basra the bionic super tortoiseCategory: pets
I had this dream that basra the tortoise (e:paul,54485) dried up and his shell cracked open. He one eye dried off and his arms and legs had dried up into stumps. Even though half of his organs were hanging out his shell and he couldn't really, see he was still alive.
After a serious freakout where we all tried to blame each other for letting him dry out, we scooped him up and held him together with wegmans bags and hangers. Once we got him to the vet, she said she had been conducting research on this type of problem and that she could turn him into a bionic tortoise for ~$20,000 and that he would have his normal lifespan. He would also be able to hook him up to a computer system and communicate directly brain by writing computer programs. As soon as I decided to go through with the procedure, I woke up.

Heheh.. very entertaining. That is SO you, something that your brain would construct. (Obsession with amputations + computer technology + roadkill)

This gem is sitting in the parking lot behind India Gate on elmeood. It looks like a prop from a horror movie. I wonder what era its from?

I bet it had cushions where the screws are. If you imagine it new, it doesn't look that bad.

I'd guess from the 70's. It was all about plastic molded accessories then.

lol, I figured.
Wait. I meant to put that random comment in the chat box but totally forgot and put it here!
I wanted to go to the farmer's market today but I am being lazy and doing my tonload of laundry now. I had no idea I had so many shirts and trousers... All of them look the same though.
Arrrgh! that story won't load even after 30 freaking seconds! I could have read and skimmed through the more boring source journal article by now!
You are missing out on so much of the internet. You should get a faster connection. THis part where a T-cell is trained to attack a cancer cell is neat :::link:::
That darned magazine takes too long to load (as in more than 15 sec).
AND what is with the angry birds thing? The logo and ads seem to get bigger and angrier by the day. I did a clean install of chrome-beta at work and I swear the angry birds logo was half the size of the screen at one point.
