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.)

The snail is in a protective hamster bubble.  The bigger snail can't bite it.

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.

He must be on the ground since the bullets are now laying next to him.   (And it would have been cool to have the action shot of bullets bouncing off the hamsterball but I can't figure that out right now.)

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.)

Regular-sized healer snail. ;D

Too cute. :)

What did the bitten snail say to the healer snail?



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

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 :

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.

hee hee ... actually, I wasn't sure if I would get busted for putting a photo in my signature, so I did it just for a little tiny bit because I could barely resist doing it  ;D.  Instead of it being in my signature, I'll just actually post it here :) :

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:

                     _@/RARRRRRRR !!!



...and thinks that maybe he is lucky to be so far away from land.

Or he climbes on the top of the sails and looks up:

and sees Jaques Cleusnail exploring the underwater terrain.

And he doesnt feel so alone anymore because he knows there are snails all around. He feels happy again and free. And he imagines that someday there will be a lot of snails around him listening to his stories about his adventure. He thanks the great spirit of the snails for protecting him!
He listens to the sound of water and slowly falls asleep....

 :)  :D
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

I wanted to put a canon and canonball firing out but that would take more work.

HAHA Bob, that is excellent.

This is good enough for a new art movement.

I will call it snailism.

What do you think?  Do you think this snail looks like Johnny Depp? 


Not even a little?

Snail chorus line.  (They only have one foot so it's really not that impressive, ::) but they try.)

It may be that it's a good thing that there appear to be no French people around here, otherwise all those snails would surely be culled, cooked, presented au plat and digested...

Best,
