Ever Notice How Paris Hilton and Ronald Mcdonald ARE NEVER IN
THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER?? GASP!!


This guy's a turtle crossing the road...N... about to get squished by an
18 wheeler.

For me, turtles, what with their laissez faire attitude regarding table
manners (have you ever watched one of them eat?.......blech!) and their
failure to respond in any approvable fashion to having their tummies
scratched, have always been difficult to warm to. On the other hand, except
for the occasional irate snapper (who is certainly being deliberately
annoyed by someone with too many fingers, not enough working nerons, and a
curiously indeterminate genome), I have never been apprised of any
justification (real or imagined) for wishing them ill. Besides, they and
all their reptilian and amphipoid kin are currenlty being assailed so
vigorously, whether by design or indifference, by so many lethal forces that
their long and mostly honorable tenure on this planet is about to come to an
abrupt halt anyway. Anyone who has ever been "downsized" (or "supersized,"
for that matter......but that's a whole 'nother rant) should sympathize.

Maggots, on the other hand, have been a matter of complete indifference to
me (except, of course, for their recent re-emergence as a medical tool in
the removal of necrotic tissue) ever since the days when the alewife was the
queen of the Great Lakes, and it was simply accepted that a stroll on the
beach was necessarily followed by scraping the residue out from between
one's toes.

From a practical perspective, we all know that turtles are slow.......but
they can smoke a maggot in the 440 every time. I think we all know which
we're dealing with here.

Get 'im Wolfgang.

Huh? Who?.......me?
