Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

Watch out, sir! That turtle is after you!

I know what you’re thinking: “John, remember a few months ago how obsessed you were with turtles? What happened? Are you over turtles now? What did they ever do to you?”

I’ll admit, it’s been a while since turtles have made an appearance on this blog…but that doesn’t mean I’ve neglected my little reptilian friends.  And speaking of little, this might be the world’s tiniest turtle ever.  Wow.

I swear I’m not revamping this site to be Turtles I Think Are Kinda Cool – I know it’s only been a few days since my last turtle post, but I can’t help it.  Click play and experience the magic of a dog proudly riding his favorite tortoise.  (I love the internet).

I can’t deny it any longer…it’s true.  I’m obsessed with turtles.

This turtle riding a roomba, (a robotic vacuum cleaner for those of you who don’t know), rocks my world.

There’s something undeniably charming about watching this tortured little turtle chase after a cherry tomato.  I challenge you not to smile while watching this little guy:

For something turtle-related, but slightly racier…click here (cue the ‘bom chicka wah wah’ music)…

And if that didn’t improve your mood, how ’bout this guy, officially the coolest turtle on the planet…

Unrelated/Irrelevant Personal Note Re: The Title Of This Post => I lost the Klem South Elementary School Spelling Bee to Tina Tyan by spelling guarantee wrong.  I will never, I repeat NEVER, make that mistake again.

OK…I definitely debated what my first post should be.  In theory it might set the tone for the entire blog.  I stressed about this for a few days, until I came across this video – ok, it’s a bit lowbrow…but sometimes lowbrow works, right?

In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, having a sex tape can be a one-way ticket to stardom.  I don’t need to insult your pop-culture knowledge by reminding you about Pam, Paris, Kim, etc.  Even Bruno tried to do the nasty with Ron Paul on camera in an attempt at notoriety.

Now animals are getting in on the action.  After a brief chase, this Italian Stallion-turtle proves he knows all the right moves to make his guma happy.  Just look at her expression – it’s priceless.  My only issue with him is that he’s a bit of a camera hog – the little narcissist is on-camera for about 95% of the video.  Come on, share some of the spotlight.
