Fagalo=Eastern box turtle
Close...(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxmessage too short)
(I meant SK was close)
And I already have your address!!
Please don't tell me he shouldn't eat slugs- he eats them by the handfuls! That was the first food he agreed to eat in captivity!!
Grog should win some kind of consolation prize, though, for providing the most obscure cross-reference to slug-eating at lightning speed...
Ok now I'm inspired for dinner............. :confused:Quote:

I googled "eat slugs" but all the creatures you have or love seem to eat slugs! (Turtles, birds, reptiles...)Quote:

I guess on a sunny and windless day they could do 24% !! :eek:
But they are crazy (or convicted of doping) so it doesn't really count.
Wait a minute! There is a volcano!
You didn't say which Fagalo???!!!:mad: :D :p

no - I read cyclingforums.com often too (but not now - too many TDF spoilers!!) you have to do something pretty stupid to get moderated there -but usually when a newbie brings up the "what should my average speed be" or "how fast are your training rides" question some of the regular posters get on it pretty quick and say that you can't make the comparison so just don't try and the thread dies a fairly quick death. Some people get really tweaked that no one wants to talk about average speeds- funny, but guys often assume that it means that they are totally faster than everyone else, while us women usually believe that we are automatically slower.Quote:

Thread drift does rock.
But is Fagalo the volcano a slug-eater???
What is with all the obscure references tonight???
All right, I suppose SK deserves a consolation prize, too, for coming up with _any_ Fagalo.
PM me your address.
Grog, you too.
I have no idea what the CP will be, though.
Might be a slug.
You know what is a pain, late for a bike ride, but it's perfect slug-collecting time of day, and you get a bunch, then can't get the slug-slime off your hands without unlocking the house and going back in for soap!!
Oh, Nanci, my consolation prize was getting to be completely obnoxious.:p
I was thinking of singing "Fagalo, Fagalo, Fagalo!" but it would horrify anyone with an ear.
MP- I could NEVER stay off my bike for six months- I would cheat. (Although I _did_ stop diving.) I guess if you're gonna die...
My funnest (whatever!! I can use made up words if I want to!) trip ever, with my mom and sisters, was to Reno. Then we drove over the mountains to Sacramento. (The non-squanderer lived there at the time). Reno is where I learned about the slot machines that I had been turning my nose up at for my entire life. What a fool!! We drove around Lake Tahoe one day. It looked cold. But Reno was pretty- much better than scum-town Las Vegas where Running Mommy is now incarcerated.
