Life Changing events where were you this Sunday?
It's true the world has changed for Ashley and I as we are now the (proud?) owners of two baby turtles. What this really means is that I finally cleaned out the tank, including the dead goldfish carcass which was the last occupant... for about a year. As I'm currently still poor the turtles just have a few logs to play with, though they may be getting a ping pong ball soon. Oh and just so you know their names are Giblet and Feta. Giblet is the larger of the two and is supposed to be a pastel something. Feta is a razorback... something and is much more active. Lets see if you can geuss which turtle takes after who?

Haha! Nice post. That turtle is totally doing yoga! They look cool. We'll have to come visit them sometime.
p.s. i like the post tags =D
Yay, turtles!! I like Giblet's yoga, but why did you have to name the other after cheese I hate? Now let's just hope these don't turn out to be biting whores like your last one...
wasn't "Slash," that other evil ninja turtle a razorback?
I vote to re-name Feta to Slash
------------------------------
From Wikipedia:
Slash was created by Kevin Eastman and is a fictional character in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. He is a mutated turtle who greatly resembles the four Ninja Turtles. He appears in several versions of TMNT.
In the 1987 TMNT cartoon, Slash, voiced by Pat Fraley, was originally a pet turtle owned by Bebop. Slash was mutated with experimental Super-Mutagen, which Shredder and Krang were devising, by Bebop and Rocksteady. They were tired of doing all the work in the Technodrome, which was located in Dimension X, and wanted to make a new mutant who they could pass the jobs onto.
Unfortunately for them, Slash was much more powerful and dangerous than they were. He also had an unstable temperament and was fixated on palm trees, due to his favourite (and only) toy in his fishbowl being a plastic palm tree which he called his "Binky". When Bebop dropped it down an airduct he went berserk, stealing Shredder's Shaolin swords and wrecking the Technodrome before being sent to Earth due to some quick thinking on the original mutants' parts. There, Slash ran into some corrupt business men that wanted to build condos in the sewers, and after being thwarted by the TMNT several times, they decided to tarnish the Turtles' reputations. They decide to send Slash to destroy the Freedom Bell, a patriotic symbol in the city, which would give the Turtles a bad name. The Turtles eventually found Slash, and the evil turtle was able to take on all four of them himself. He was eventually sent into space aboard a trash rocket, but the trash contained a small plastic palm tree, so he was content.
Slash returned in "Donatello Trashes Slash" where he apparently ran into an alien race of super intelligent beings that put Slash into a machine that gave him genius level intelligence. He returned to Earth with all sorts of fancy weaponry of his own design, and planning to turn everyone on the planet into turtles, so he would be the supreme turtle. Slash managed to turn Vernon and Burne into turtles and was planning to use the Channel 6 satellite dish to turn the entire city into turtles. Donatello tricked Slash by telling him that if he just turned the TMNTs into humans, then Slash would already be top turtle. When Slash tried to blast Don, the heroic turtle threw Vernon and Burne into the way to revert them to normal. As Slash fought the turtles, he fell off the roof and onto his head, which reverted him back to his low-level (even moreso) intelligence. The turtles led him back to the trash rocket and sent him back to space. Slash also appeared in "Nights of the Rogues" along with other TMNT villains like Leatherhead, Rat King, Tempestra, Scumbug, Anthrax, and Chrome Dome. Like the others, he left when he found out he wasn't getting paid after the TMNT defeated the Shredder.
Slash first appeared in the Archie TMNT Adventures comics on the toxic waste dump world Morbus. This version of Slash looked just like a regular Ninja Turtle, but had fangs instead of teeth and wore a black mask. Like Krang, he had been banished there for horrific crimes. Like his animated counter-part, Slash was still fixated on palm trees, although for different reasons. He teamed up with Krang and the criminal Bellybomb when Krang promised to lead him to a world of palm trees (Earth). Slash wandered the Earth after Krang's defeat and eventually ran into the Mutanimals, who led him to a tropical island filled with palm trees. He saw the explosions from the Mutanimals tragic final battle, but arrived too late to help. He teamed with the Turtles in order to halt the latest attack on Earth by the alien queen Maligna. In the end, he sacrificed his life to give the Turtles time to escape Maligna's ship before it crashed into the sun. Slash was shown with almost ridiculous power in the Mutanimals comic, being able to rip apart tanks and being immune to gunfire, and even capable of surviving a missile strike. He claims that "the vultures named me Slash". In this series he carried many varying weapons, but his most prominent weapons were a pair of neko-te (hand claws, similar to those worn by The Shredder).

So I guess because I say so, you'll have to re-name your turtle and get a plastic palm tree for it.
Also, the article mentions no reference to Slash being a Razorback, but that's insignificant here.
Oooo oooo, I vote for Slash!
dude I loved Slash back in the day! I watched the show all the time when I was kid and Slash was always cool.
Cool turtles, yoga is awesome, your turtles inspire me.
I don't know Feta's pretty girly... Always running around checking him/herself out in the mirror and looking dramatic. I'm pretty sure Slash was a snapping turtle. Which would be Giblet... who as of tonight has started to show signs of becoming a biting little bastard, that or he's blind. One of the reason I got him was his cool eyes... but they might not work so good. If I can i'll get a pic of their bellies and giblets eyes. They have pretty crazy patterns on their stomachs and giblets eyes are trippy... like three dots and then the pupil.
Ive seen that before, its awesome.
so where's the eye pictures at?
