It has come to my attention that there are number of you out there who enjoy reptiles and feel like I do not provide with enough opportunities to partake in said enjoyment. So here ya go: baby tortoises! My favorite part of this clip is where the blonde co-host worries that one of the baby tortoises is trying to fuck another one. They have a great time on "Fox 10 Arizona Morning," don't they? Seems like a really fun, loose set. I mean, they bring you the news, but they don't take themselves too seriously. They're not embarrassed about doing an animal segment or anything. Good for them! OH MY GOD IS IT SEPTEMBER YET?

"This is fun. ... I've been eating krill oil."
But it hasn't made him big yet.
So: I randomly got to chatting with this neighbor that I secretly hated for several years (he would take clothes out and dump them on the dusty top of the dryer after they had only been finished for 90 seconds, and then proceed to leave his own garments inside overnight), a basement dweller. It turned out that he had lived in the building for 14 years (so 'the type'), so I asked him about all the goings-on: how many break-ins (6), fires (4--I was there for 1.5 of them), and I got the dirt on the awful chick with the bichon frise.
He asked me if I wanted to see the inside of his apartment, and I am a major snoop/voyeur/all the rest and figured it was now or never (also, he only had about 20 lbs. on me, and my nails were long at the time). His apartment had a drop ceiling that gave me daymares, and twice as much furniture as it should have had. He showed me these two teeny tiny turtles that were his pets, and they were in one of those little plastic tanks with the neon lids, the size usually reserved for transporting a new pet or food for your reptile. I asked how old they were, thinking they were babies, and he said three years! I looked closer and they were covered with mold. So sad.
So, you killed him and now the turtles have the run of the apartment, right?
Dude. NOT COOL. You can't leave them in those fucking tanks.
Here my turtles are murdered in the night by vicious raccoons (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/30/after-bedbugs-here-come-the-raccoons/?ref=nyregion) and this asshole just lets them wither away.

YESSSSSSSS THE TURTLE SHACK ADS ARE BACK!
ADOPT ONE GET TWO FREE!
Growing up, I had a pair of three-toed box turtles, and they would do it ALL THE TIME. It was wild.
I JUST CLEANED JAMES FRANCO'S TANK AND HE IS SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY HEARTCHU ALEX BALK
I really don't like how "Rick" keeps moving them around, I imagine that to be a very annoying experience for the tortoises.
awwwwwwwh baybee turtles (squeal)!
I can't believe this is a news segment. & also, did you know 2 tortoises live at the Natural History Museum. they're huge and only 11 yrs old. sometimes they take them out on the lawn :)
My favorite part was when the blonde lady commented on how the baby tortoises are fast, because actually (she's pretty sure!) turtles are very slow. It's like, how come nobody told these little guys about the stereotypes to which they must conform? Won't that confuse our viewers??
Also, I think it's about time we had a National Conversation about why Metro PCS (among others!) thinks its OK to have an ad campaign about how Indian people are funny-talking goofs. Those ads make me feel like a lady correspondent on Fox. "It's funny because usually racial stereotypes are bad, but these are fine and hilarious!"
