The tortoise hasn't been seen for 12 hours. Start searching with a full 100 yard radius...

 

[CoolDawg]

I thought I saw it and a hare racing down Hwy. 12 towards Sturgis.

 

[Shmuley]

The thing wanted to make a left into Wendy’s but encountered a 17n median barrier. He’s somewhere out 12 east still trying to make that left.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I'd check the soup kitchen

in Noxapater.

 

[DancingRabbit]

He seems to have passed me when I stopped off for a nap.

I got bored.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Come to think about it. The sesame chicken at China Garden tasted a little different today. Not like the stray dog I'm used to.

Possibly related, my wife called me a few minutes ago and said there were two

turtles copulating in our back yard. I told her to take pics, she declined. True story.

 

[dickiedawg]

Why would she call to tell you if she wasn't willing to take pictures?

Best turtle porno is The Tortoise and the Hare Pie.

I lived in Longmeadow in Starkville and my neighbors has 2 or 3 of these HUGE tortoises in their backyard.

Tortoise ownership is a problem. People get them as small pets and don't realize that owning one is a lifetime commitment. These damn things will outlive you. People don't think about that.

Entry 3503 on the "Phrases I never thought I'd see on SPS" list:

Tortoise ownership is a problem.

Again, this board's breadth of knowledge of useless (yet somehow entertaining) information is staggering.

 

[Xenomorph]

.....so they’re like children...

 

[Junction John]

Just watch out for the snappers**

 

[tatedog]

Oh ****. I was wondering why Hwy 12 suddenly had speed bumps.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

He tried to take refuge inside Bin612, but was kicked out.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I thought I saw it and a hare racing down Hwy. 12 towards Sturgis.

Left or right lane?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Left or right lane?

Left, but he got stuck behind Dawg61.

 

[Shmuley]

I christen him "Mamaw 61."

 

[T-TownDawgg]

If he's in Longview he'd best git. I know some sho nuff half breeds around Houston-Thompson Road that'll have his *** in a stew by sundown.

 

[fang]

Trip to the refuge. Problem solv-ed.

 

[DancingRabbit]

My ex got a good deal on a parrot one time.

After about 2 days, I'm saying "this bird is supposed to out-live me and he's already annoying the hell out of me".

Of course m'fer decided he liked me more anyone else. Loved to sit on my shoulder **** down my back.

It wasn't too long before somebody else got a good deal on a parrot.

 

[JOE-DAWG]

I believe I saw it at the Shell station off old highway 12!

 

[BELdog]

The truly astonishing thing to watch on FB has been the number of ill-educated mouth breathers that tag the owners of this missing turtle every time they pass a creature with a shell. Snapping turtles, red-eared sliders, box turtles, armadillos...an old bike helmet on the side of the road...

 

[Junction John]

The Rabbi speaketh.

[Nugdawg]

I saw him just this morning, he was running drills with our WR corps.

 

[thekimmer]

Tortoise. Calling it a turtle is kinda like confusing Ms State with Ms**....

If he can catch, sign him up!

 

[Junction John]

Hey, grab me some medicinal fungi if you're headed out there.**

My mother used to breed parrots. For my 22nd birthday, she gave me one. He learned how to swear prolifically and sang Take Me Out To The Ballgame in Harry Carays voice. Today, wherever he is, I’m sure he is tormenting his owner with f bombs if he hasn’t been killed already....which I was tempted to do a few times.

Just lay a bunch of shoes in the yard, he'll be back
