Turtle Loves Shoe

In the past, biologists have recorded examples of animals attempting to mate with "biologically inappropriate objects". Konrad Lorenz observed a parakeet who grew frisky with a "small celluloid ball." During the 1950s researchers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center witnessed a hypersexual cat who attempted to mate with a dog, a female rhesus monkey, and an old hen. And here we have a turtle with a shoe fetish:

(a) Whatever floats your boat.

So as a turtle, your pretty much stuck with doggie style, or turtle style. Letting the girl (turtle) get on top can cause you to get stuck on your back and die, huh?

Are you going to be attending any turtle dick parties in the near future, ahc? You may be waiting a while to use that line. If not, let's just say that you and I apparently run in totally different circles.

kingmonkey, you're not the only one running in a different circle than ahc. I don't ever remember turtle dicks being discussed at any party I've ever been to.

LOL @ 'turtle porn'! That's actually the first time I've ever heard any sound coming from a turtle. I thought it was kinda sweet. I would never say that anywhere other than at WU.

I've never heard a turtle make any noise before ... and I have to agree, that was the cutest sound, in the most bizarre situation.

How cute, he found his sole mate.

(yeah, I know someone already took the sole pun, but I had to do it...)

AHC, I've seen plenty of dicks in turtleneck sweaters. Does that count?

And how did the handlers of Pink even figure out the hat thing?

Douglas Adams, we miss you!
