TURTLE ON THE LOOSE
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, May 18, 2004 4:02 PM
My turtle decided to escape,it's to funny . my layout looks like something , from the old creature double feature movie. He climbed over some rock walls that I had ,slid down the roof of one of my houses and decided to go for a walk threw town. . Well then he decided he didn't like a few of the tree's that he had , so he pushed them out of his way , funny part was watching him try it again,Icould not belive how he did this. He stands straight up uses his neck and pulls himself up the wall,legs moving a mile a minute.lucky there is no major damage ,just a few days of work .
Next time turtle soup ,Just kidden this is his town[8D]

Scratch,

I love your website! Great shots of your turtle habitat /model railroad/ village. Did you get any pics of the "turtle rampage?"

Maybe you could keep him in line by putting a sign in front of a cafe or restautrant advertising the special of the day as turtle soup. Might give him second thoughts!

There are times I wish I had a camera. We got a new cat last year. Before we got him fixed, he attacked a Williams SD-45 I had running around the XMAS tree and tried to make kittens with it.

What's the turtle's name? Gamera? (This is the giant prehistoric mutant turtle from the awful Japanese movies, a la Godzilla)

If I ever get a monster for my **** Ant Pike I'm gonna name it...Feagles...which is an acronym for:
Fearless
Extremely
Aggressive
Gigantic
Lustful
Evil
and
Slithering

...won't be much left of my train stuff!

Turtles are not afraid of heights; I had a box turtle that walked off the 2nd story balcony; survived the fall with just a cut. Like your layout, scratch.
