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)

Actually they're just trying to clap.  They can't make any sound.  Clapping isn't an easy thing for them to do. ::)  But don't be confused.  They're clapping or their version of it.  Not to be confused with a group of snails just standing around.

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.

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!  :)

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

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

Brilliant.

Must be one of the best ever.
One of the most costly, at least, given the sheer quantity of dollars therein; you'd never be expected to pay that much for a starter of escargots even in a three Michelin starred restaurant...

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...

Um... well I don't really know very much about the banks.... not even the ones in my country  :P

But I didn't say that I wanted to do that, did I?!

No you didn't... but well IF you wanted to then all this snails form Pianostreet would be helpful I guess....  :P Or... IF all the snails from Pianostreet decided to give you kisses you could at the same time break the world record :) maybe you can even get some money for breaking a world record  :-\ I don't know  :P
Well if you don't want so much to get kisses from all the snails from Pianostreet, who would you want to get kisses from then? From all the people from Pianostreet?! you know how many people that is??  :o Like about 52 000 people!  :o :o Are you sure you would like that better than the snail kisses?  :P  :)

In some senses you could perhaps consider yourself fortunate in your self-confessed ignorance!

...but not deposit it in one of those errant banks, presumably...

Well if you don't want so much to get kisses from all the snails from Pianostreet, who would you want to get kisses from then? From all the people from Pianostreet?! you know how many people that is??  :o Like about 52 000 people!  :o :o Are you sure you would like that better than the snail kisses?  :P  :)
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!

Well, happily I have none in mine.

OK, but I do not live in a thread.

Not much in this thread does, surely?

I've never "serached" for anything anywhere, so I cannot comment, beyond mentioning yet again that the connection betwen all this stuff and K seems at best tenuous and at worst absent other than in the somewhat bizarre imaginations of certain posters to this thread.

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.

If you don't feed the snails, they'll start eating anything. 




Snails, grazing and nesting.  These are not wild snails.  They're domesticated.  See?  These aren't eating letters on the thread.

If you don't feed the snails, they'll start eating anything. 
It is often recommended not to feed the trolls, so why feed the snails?

In some senses you could perhaps consider yourself fortunate in your self-confessed ignorance!

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!


Don't be afraid Alistair! You don't have to get kissed by snails if you don't want to  :P Specially not those giant ones that have appeared lately in this thread... even though they're all really nice...   :D

Don't be afraid Alistair!
I'm not! I used the expression "I'm afraid" in the sense of "I'm sorry to say".

I am aware of that, you know! - and, in any case, as I mentioned, I am far from certain that they would be capable of such an action in the first place...
