Snail rolls away in titanium hamster ball (which must be very small but also couldnt' be cut with diamonds since it's titanium and I say titantium is harder than diamond.  It's a diamond-titanium composite.  There.)

Of course it's a titanium-diamond composite material.   ::) i.e. bullet-proof.

This is the snail (who may be floating in midair at this point, who knows?) who stopped, turned around, and the let those bullets bounce right off the titanium-diamond composite hamsterball with airholes.

Hmmm. (Bob raises eyebrow. [in words because there's no good smiley for that])

=>

Whatever these bullets are, they did not splatter against the diamond titanium composite shell hull of the snail hamster ball. ::)  Otherwise I would have used this  |   to show how they smashed.  Therefore, these must be some material type hard enough to withstand travelling a thousand miles or so and stopped instantly, yet retaining its shape.

And they appear to be full metal jacket.   :o  Not just regular, fully encased in metal (or whatever substance that is). 

(Bob determines Karli's snail must have been pretty serious about going after that poor, defenseless hamsterball snail.  And it's a good thing that gun toting snail had good aim and didn't hit the wings.)

What did the bitten snail say to the healer snail?

Okay, Goldy, so is this the opening line for a joke that you are about to tell, or are you suggesting that I should have had the bitten snail saying something back ? :)  If it's the latter, I'll go with Wolfi's comment :

Let's praise the great spirit of the snails  :D

I can't believe you posted a pic like that.  You better hope Nils doesn't see that.

You should replace with something more appropriate.  Like a small monkey grabbing someone's index finger.

Okay, I took the photo down.  Is it supposed to be a bad photo ?  Now I'm embarrassed !  I actually "stole" it (shh !) off somebody's facebook page in all innocence !  But, now I'm wondering if it wasn't actually very innocent  :-[ :-[

sails and even a steering wheel, upper and lower deck so he can hide from the rain and the sun and the wind and high waves...
Fortunately theres a lot of rain and theres a lot of algea on the outside of the boat so he does have something to eat and drink (even though he does wish he had something else too). He also feels lonely sometimes and wonders what if he is the only snail left in the whole world. And he feels traped on the little boat. But then he sometimes hears a strange sound thats coming from the land:

He listens to the sound of water and slowly falls asleep....

What a COOL pirate ship!!!! :)  8) I wonder if the snail from my story will ever be sailing by those pirates... i just hope they wouldn't be mean to him  :-\ well probably they wouldn't even notice him because he doesnt have anything valuable on his little boat. And maybe they aren't even very mean and bad pirates, maybe they are kinda like Jack Sparrow  :)  :D  8)  :P . Maybe my snail could sneak on their ship and take some food so he wouldnt have to eat only algae all the time  :P

 :-\ Well maybe they would try to... get a lowdown on their dietary viability (whatever that means), but I don't think it would be good for them... those snails' poison is way stronger than anything else that people have ever eaten and tricky too, it acts as if it wasn't poison at all until someone decides to eat the poor snail and the trickiest part is that the poison can be transmitted telepathically!!!  :o Yes directly into the brain!!

I really do not see any good reason why this thread should be brought to a conclusion (natural or unnatural or any other kind there might be) since there are some other threads with many responses that are far more boring and  ::) and  :-X and  ??? than this thread!

Once again, no disrespect to K (the reverse, indeed), but it does seem to be high time that a French chef came along here and mopped up, for he/she would find sufficient stocks of escargots on this thread to keep a classy restaurant going for quite some time, methinks...

And then they could just go from one thread to another, so then there wouldn't be just one thread with snails, but the ghost snails would be all over the Pianostreet in all of the threads!!!! They would just be appearing everywhere all the time! :o So it would really be better to just let these snails live peacefully in this thread! S'il vous plait! Merci beaucoup!

They're not my favourite thing either, but since so many people do enjoy them, I felt that my post above did not lack due pertinence.

Surely a Kentucky Boneless Box is superior.
If ione of those is actually "superior" to anything at all, I'll eat - er - one of those boxes. I suppose that it might be marginally superior to a goat's cheese and vegemite soufflé, but it's a close run thing, I think.

Anyway, Thal, you would really write from a position of greater authority if you had actually tried some escargots. One may reasonably presume, on the other hand, that on at least one occasion and in the interests of bona fide research you have made the not-quite-ultimate sacrifice and tried one of those Kentucky TasteBoneless Boxes?

Anyway, this thread is supposedly for K and I'm far from convinced that any of us here wants to do her the gross disservice of foisting upon her such a soufflé or such a Box.

Alistair

Ah! - methinks that the dénouement of this thread is at last approaching, for if they're all hidden, the rest of us will be spared the need to worry about seeing them; in any case, have little doubt that K has things in her life that interest her far more than these little creatures that the French enjoy consuming and for which English and other gardeners put down poison on account of their horticulturally pestilential qualities (those of the snails, that is, not the gardeners)...

"Such" as what? - in other words, by what parameters do you perceive or assess "complication", either in words or in music?

It is indeed true that I am not in the habit of conversing with - or consuming - ghosts, but it is also true that, although snails are not an especial favourite of mine to eat, I nevertheless regard them as food, given the number of French and others who do eat them and I also regard them as a garden pest that requires to be annihilated otherwise damage to all manner of plants will be done by them.

I hope that these explanations are not unduly complex for you.

Alistair

A guy?? Oh noo! I don't wanna be a guy!!  :-\ But I was pretending some time ago I was a boy  :P (when I had short hair), but I didn't want to be a boy, I just wanted to be like a boy  ;D
Well I guess you haven't read very a lot of my posts  :P ... but would a guy wanna be named Little Tune?  :-\ I mean guys usually don't want to be little, and besides Tune is a lot more a girls name than a boys name.  :D

You are pretty artistic. It could also be snails on a rock climbing wall

Thanks :) Yes I guess it could be a rock climbing wall too  :) Maybe it could also be a waterfall :)

Indeed, Littletune is a little angel and her posts on this forum are refreshing.

Thal

Thank you very much Thal :) you are really nice!!!  :)  :)  :)  8)

I, too,  thought her mannerisms were disgustingly sweet until I discovered she was 11 years old!  Now I LOVE her!

Thank you too!  :)  :P but what are mannerisms?  :-\

"Such" as what? - in other words, by what parameters do you perceive or assess "complication", either in words or in music?

It is indeed true that I am not in the habit of conversing with - or consuming - ghosts, but it is also true that, although snails are not an especial favourite of mine to eat, I nevertheless regard them as food, given the number of French and others who do eat them and I also regard them as a garden pest that requires to be annihilated otherwise damage to all manner of plants will be done by them.

I hope that these explanations are not unduly complex for you.

Best,

Alistair

 ::) sooo... you wanna know why I think your sentences are complicated or something like that right? Well it's because you use a lot of words I don't understand, and especially because it seems like you write a lot of little sentences in just one sentence (not always but a lot of times :) ) and then it's like I start reading one sentence and then it's another sentence in that sentence and then another sentence in that sentence and another and another.... and then I already forget what the first sentences were about. But don't worry it's kinda fun it's like riddles or something :)  ;)  :)

What is? In any event, I would hope to achieve substance over style. I also trust that these sentences are not thought to be unduly lengthy or to contain words that require checking in the dictionary. That said, one can never be sure about the vocabularies of potential readers when posting to internet forums; that fact is obvious, since such vocabularies will inevitably vary greatly from one forum member to another.

I forgot to say something about the smilies :) I don't really understand how can people write posts and look at all the smilies up there and just not use them at all!!  :o Because I just have to!  :P because if I wouldn't put smilies in my posts it would seem like I can't even say everything I want to :)  ;D Like some letters or even words would be missing!  :)  8) I wish there was even more of them!!!  :P  8)
Oh and in real life people sometimes don't know how old I am either  ::) some think I'm older and some think I'm younger  :P well they never think I'm 36 of course  ;D  ;D and they don't think I'm a male fella in his early 20s either  ;D  :P That would be VERY weird! Once I saw on the internet something about a girl who is 13 years old but she looks like she was 40 or something like that, because she has something wrong with her skin and she is very sad because people don't believe she is just a kid. Well I think when people think I'm older is cause I'm pretty tall and because sometimes I look very serious  :P   :P I almost don't talk at all when I'm around people I don't know and I don't act stupid or anything, I'm just really quiet.... well I guess that's kinda hard to believe because I talk sooooooo much here  ::)   :P And when people think I'm younger I guess it's because sometimes I act like a little kid :) and I want my mum to help me with something and to go somewhere with me because sometimes people really scare me and I don't want to talk to them by myself  :-[

Thank you! :) you are too nice to me :) :) :) well actually I think for now I am still a lot better at graphic things :) I think because until I was 5 and a half I had hearing loss (and then I had surgery) and I got more used to looking at things than listening to them :) And at first at music theory when we had dictations it was really scary because I couldn't concentrate on just listening without looking at something :) but now I'm getting a lot better already  :)  :P  8)

Sadly not true in any particular; I wouldn't invite one of these creatures as (a) I don't especially care for their taste and (b) they're a garden pest.

Probably has B.O. (body odor).  Which for a snail must be pretty bad.


And then when that snail is flying close to some people or other snails they can't see him (cause he's using stealth technology) but they can just smell him  ;D and then they are wondering why did something start smelling so bad all of a sudden  ;D

And here also the background music (and video)  ::)  ::)  ::) (It's boring! just a baby piano piece  ::) that littletune played  ::) - so don't watch if you don't like baby piano pieces and stupid videos!! - it's a video that littletune wanted to make for the snail so he won't feel all alone and forgotten!  :(  :P and it's played two times, first time the way it's in the sheet music the second time littletune's way  :P - just a little differently with the left hand - so it's more like being in a boat and in water  :P oh and the end too  ::) oh :) and there also wasn't any dynamic markings at all  :o so that's just littletune's way too  ::)  :P ) so here it is for the snail! :)

A little more realistically, I think the snails would have to work together and all sit on one side of the log.  If they actually got it to spin, it would move too fast for them to actually stay on the top.  They'd probably end up going around on it, hanging on for dear life.  If they got it to spin.  If they were intelligent enough to work together and had the desire to make a log roll.

*Bob is getting irritated by that happy snail.*

*Bob has decided that snail must be some kind of 70s hippy snail and must be drugs to be wandering around that happy.*

I was scared really a lot just cause I heard about it!!  ::) cause we were talking about it with my friends and then I was really afraid every night because I have a tv in my room!!! and i was just waiting when someone is gonna crawl out of it! But I don't watch tv very much and it's on a really high shelf (or whatever that's called), and then once when i was imagining somene crawling out of my tv I imagined how they would start crawling out but they wouldn't expect tv to be so high from the floor so then they would just fall on the floor on their face ;D so that was so funny that I started laughing and I wasn't so scared anymore  ;D  :P

Yes that is a soup made of Bob!! And here is a recipe:

this snails are waiting in long lines to eat this soup made of Bob! Bon apetit!

I was also wondering if Ahinton (or maybe Bob) would be scared of that giant face licking slithering snail coming out of their computer screen all of a sudden!?  :o
Maybe they wouldn't even notice at first, until the snail would already be slithering all over them and licking their face!  :D  :P  ::)

I would not be a fan of being licked by a snail, no. 

The escargot pic actually made me kind of hungry, except I know those are snails so it's gross too.

well that escargot picture made me so NOT hungry! We had  mushroom soup and there were big pieces of mushrooms in it and I just couldn't get out of my mind that those are snails  :( and I really couldn't eat very much of it and my mum said I was spoiled for not eating everything but I just couldn't  :( well I wasn't very hungry anyway...  ::)

This snail is going to predict the future! Like what will be on September 18th for example :) You write something you think might happen on one box and something else on the other one. And put snail food in each of the boxes, and then you let the snail decide from which box it will eat. And the predictions from the box that the snail chooses will then come true! Easy isn't it?  ;D :P

This is going to be like the magic 8 ball....

*Bob puts two messages on each side of the snail.  The one of the left -- the left as we view the snail, not the snail's left -- says "This week."  The messages on the right says "after this week."  Bob places some snail food (which is what?  What do snails eat?)  out for the snail and waits.*

I think I got that right.

Oops...  *Bob splits the snail food in half and puts a half on each side of the snail and then waits again.*  Knowing the snail, it'll eat eat both.   ::) Why not?  But then what does that mean?  It doesn't answer my question.

This must be an oracle snail.

*Bob gets nauesous after Google image searching for oracle snail.*  Yuck.  And there was a snail, a real snail, as big as a person's hand.

It says snails eat mostly plants. Lettuce, grass, herbs and also apples and carrots  :)

Well not those huge ones. Bob do you mean that picture with someone holding two giant snails on his hand? I think they're even bigger than his hand!!  :o But he does have a glove on his hand.

Oh you can get an answer Bob. It doesn't matter if the snail eats from both sides. What matters is form which one the snail eats first! The one it eats first has your answer.  :)  :P  :)

Alistair did you mean to say " K. has no interest... " maybe... cause I don't know what interset is supposed to mean.  :D
Well I don't know why anyone would think that about K anyway because if you give a present or something to someone that doesn't really mean they have to like it right? So if this thread is for her and we are only making stories about snails it doesn't have to mean she likes the snails so much!

Bob, you are one genius.  But do you ever practise the piano?
And wolfi, that was brilliant!!!  I loved the savvy look of the european snail.  SO snob.  8)

Maybe they would welcome Alistair too if he tried making a snail
Limited experience in the garden inclines me to think that the reproductive capacity of snails is already quite sufficient without requiring anyone else to make more of them, least of all me.

Wow soooo many things happened here since yesterday!!!  :o Now I don't know where to start... or where to continue  :-\  :) I was still thinking about the little snail swords and how they're supposed to hold them  ::) :D well I don't know very much about swords anyway... are they holding their swords only above their head all the time? aren't they supposed to move the swords around and all that? oh well... doesn't matter I guess...  :P

Those shark snails are cool !  :)

And I'm glad Wolfi made some snails again!  8)  :)

But Alistair these snails here are not completely the same as the snails from your garden! Wouldn't you just try making a snail? It's fun :) You want me to help you ? :) here, these two snails are a little unusual but I think that's cool too !  ;D  8)

Some of us here will have heard of the Zen notion of the sound of one hand clapping, but this appears to take it to quite another level altogether.

Not to be confused with a group of snails just standing around.
Indeed not, since a snail is legless and therefore cannot stand as such.

A lapel is the collar of the tux or suit.  (I think.)  Kissin has a snail on his if you look closely.  Probably feeding him the notes as he plays.

Thanks Bob!  :) First when I looked on google I thought it was a tie or something like that! So that's why I first didn't see that snail but now I see it too  ;D It must really be very difficult for that snail to hold on like that!  :)

I did find the largest snail around today is the AFrican giant snail.  It's about the size of a hand, or palm-sized.  However, those big conch fhell can be from ancient snails, some of which could have b een 40 pounds.  A forty pound snail?   :o  And there's a Guiness world record for the most snails on a face.  I didn't look into that. :P

Oh so it worked?  :) cool if it did! 8)

For the most snails a person had on their face?? That's a funny record  :)
Oh I found that... there is more than one record.... oh I guess some are old records...
One record is 8 snails and it was achieved by someone named Alastair  ;D
Then by a 9 year old girl who had 25 snails on her face.
And then an 11 year old boy who had 43 snails on his face!!!  :o I guess that's the newest record.

Well... it think if all the snails form Pianostreet decided to give kisses to Alistair all at the same time.... he might break that record!  :D :D

Maybe this snail is like a piggy bank, except it's a snaily bank  :P
But of course not that kind that you would have to break [it] to get the money out!!!!!! You just have to ask the snail nicely.
Ah - so not like Northern Rock, Royal Bank of Scotland Group or any similar kind of bank that's quick enough to take you money but dishes it out again at - er - snail's pace, then...

But how many snails would there be on Pianostreet? Whatever the answer to that might be, it will nevertheless be up to you alone, if so you wish, to work out for yourself the answers (if any) to any or all of the questions that you ask here, I'm afraid! In the meantime, I will simply confine myself to declaring that the prospect of a kiss from a snail (even assuming snails to be capable of such a thing) is not one that has the slightest appeal to me!

Yeah, I have to admit I've been wondering why my name had been on this thread title at all anymore, considering all things.  But, as I see, the snails are chewing away at that.

Well I remembered that my mum is sometimes complaining about the bank :)


But how many snails would there be on Pianostreet?

I'm sure there is less than 52 000 snails on Pianostreet!  :) For now... But I guess the number of them is getting closer to 52 000 every day  :P

I'm afraid!

Best,

Alistair
:o  :o Alistair! are you really a snail?! I mean if you have to come out of your shell... don't worry you can tell us!  :) We will still like you just the same!  :D   
(just kidding of course no need to explain the expression "coming out of one's shell"  ::)  :P  )

Best,

This is going to be like the magic 8 ball....

*Bob puts two messages on each side of the snail.  The one of the left -- the left as we view the snail, not the snail's left -- says "This week."  The messages on the right says "after this week."  Bob places some snail food (which is what?  What do snails eat?)  out for the snail and waits.*

I think I got that right.

Oops...  *Bob splits the snail food in half and puts a half on each side of the snail and then waits again.*  Knowing the snail, it'll eat eat both.   ::) Why not?  But then what does that mean?  It doesn't answer my question.

This must be an oracle snail.

*Bob gets nauesous after Google image searching for oracle snail.*  Yuck.  And there was a snail, a real snail, as big as a person's hand. 




Good work snail. :)  *Bob gives the snail extra food.*   Keep it up.  There's more extra food where that came from.


I did find the largest snail around today is the AFrican giant snail.  It's about the size of a hand, or palm-sized.  However, those big conch fhell can be from ancient snails, some of which could have b een 40 pounds.  A forty pound snail?   :o  And there's a Guiness world record for the most snails on a face.  I didn't look into that. :P


Bad work snail.   >:( *Bob pats the snail until it pukes the food back up and reposseses that food.*

Yuck Bob! That sounds kinda disgusting! Do you think that's really necessary to do?  :-\

\@_      Stoic snail.




\@_       SuperSnail.   He has an S symbol on his chest (or maybe an SS?) but you can't
                                see that from the profile view like this).
Here's the official SuperSnail theme song. 


*Bobs wonders if it's also a Jewish snail.    ... Or maybe not a full Jew snail, but rather sort of Jew-like, more like a Jew-ish snail.*

I know why that strange creature looks remarkably like a cake  :) it's because that's a cake eating monster! It appears at your birthday party and if you're not careful it eats all your cake while you're not looking!  :o  :P and it looks like a cake so that it's harder for you to notice it!  :P

What should a cake for a snail be made of? Herbs? A herb cake  :) oh I guess it could also be an apple cake or a carrot cake  :P  :P  :P I got hungry thinking about this  :)

Yes, and the cake monsters eats the birthday cake in just one bite.  Slinks over, opens his mouth, slides the whole cake in, belches, then slinks away again.

Ich habe betrogen (or geschummelt=cheated) und Babelfish benützt, um den Post schnell zu schreiben. Und ich habe nicht alle drei Sätze überprüft, nur den ersten.
