Carnivourous Sulcata Tortoise

Giovanni Jan 24, 2004 08:33 AM

This is a rare photo of a wild Sulcata just finishing devoruing and antlelope in Chad.

Just kidding, its King Karl Kruiser kicking back on a cold January morning just finishing eating a prickley pear.

Great picture.

Giovanni, I'm not one to start trouble (quit laughing,) but word on the street is Teddy has been strutting all over town saying that King Karl in nothing but a two-bit chump lettuce licker and if he ever met up with him it would be LIGHTS OUT and a room in intensive care with his own team of nurses.

Now, aside from being jealous about the nurses, personally I think Karl could take him. Let's face it, Teddy is somewhat of a mama's boy and reportedly wears Catholic schoolboy shorts, but I figured I'd give you a heads up anyway.

Hey

Just because it is the off season and Karl's a little over weight, no reason for Teddy to call him a 2 bit chump.

Also, he wanted to remind Teddy that his turds are bigger than him.

Sorry but my money's on Teddy. Any tortoise that requires his own tudor-style home must have pretty big "ones"!

(And they say we reptile people are weirdos with too much time on their hands! Harumpf!)

We are still working out the details but I hear the odds are on Teddy in Vegas!

Once Don King measures King Karl's gular and weighs him in, those Vegas odds are gonna change quick.

I just had to shove about 8 media types away from my front door. I told them "no comment... talk to the torts." I hear Vegas has been selling out every hotel in town for this one. Tyson, Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams, all the big names are expected to be there. I think even Bush has a ringside seat.

You can go with Teddy if you want to lose some money, but I still say it's triple K all the way!! I have it on good authority that Teddy is training if front of a TV set with a wheelbarrow full of bon bons and GALLONS of Budweiser. Got his own keg with a straw going from it directly into his big pie hole. Yet he's still talkin' trash! Says King Karl Kruiser will be Queen Knarled Loser when he's done with him. I say it's the beer talkin'!

Triple K in three!

RaderRVT Jan 26, 2004 04:59 PM

I'll take a piece of that action. Where's my bookie's number?

Head, I think it is possible that we both need a life

He added that " That Teddy better watch out, ill bite his eat off"..."oh, uh..nevermind"

... it's a great source of info, and it's entertaining, too!

I haven't been driking coffee lately because I've been on a health kick, but this did make the carrot/broccoli/kale juice come out of my nose!

tortoisehead Jan 27, 2004 08:05 PM

Ahhhh, who needs a life? I'd probably just mess it up anyway. Unless maybe you know where I can get one that comes with a lifetime guarantee that it will be wonderfully trouble-free and always happy with every day like Christmas? And not too expensive, I just bought a car and and the payments are killing me!

Giovanni Jan 26, 2004 06:38 PM

Congradulations for making coffe come out of my nose..lol.

It would have been funnier if I had spelled "gnarled" right.

Sohni Jan 26, 2004 08:26 PM

Oh, and BTW, I'm putting my money on King "Kong" Karl! Lol!

I had a really crappy day. I had to send my favorite student to continuation school today. I have known him since he was a freshman (now a senior). He has no family and calls me mom. He is probably the closest I'll ever have to a real son. But this thread has made me literally laugh out loud. That last Karl poster almost made me wet myself!! I love this forum!

BTW Sohni, Kreampuff Karl is going down!!

That's money in the bank, Sohni.....money in the bank. Like Clay vs Liston, or maybe even Mike Tyson vs Don Knotts or better yet, Mike Tyson vs CICELY Tyson. Like Shaq against Mother Theresa. Like a uhh...really small guy against a really big uhh...you get the idea.
