Evidently, though, those who personally know this particular creature, which is housed in Mr. Wah's facilities in Malaysia, think very highly of it. If you can't judge a book by its cover, then you can't judge a softshell turtle by its pinkish pig flesh.
Thanks for the photo, Ida.

Ew. EWWW. Flaccid.
ReplyDeleteHeh. My first reaction was an awed, gasped, "Oh, he's gorgeous!"
ReplyDeleteI love softshells. I have a softshell poster on my wall, and a friend made me a foam rubber softshell that sits on my desk. It's a pancake with a snorkel nose! What's not to love?
Penis in a shell. With arms. And 2 eyes.
ReplyDeleteNormally I love turtles and tortoises (we have 6 three toed box turtles at home) but this is just ugly and kinda gross looking...
ReplyDeleteOk now that thing is just creepy! It looks like some gross thing that would be served as a delicacy in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a dingy Chinese street.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's got a wonderful personality. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who failed this particular Rorschach test.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Get that turtle a Mohel, stat!
ReplyDeleteIt looks naked. weird!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely little fellow. The only beautiful things in this world are what nature creates. People are the ugly and disgusting things that ruin it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a rough day, Anthony.
ReplyDeleteit looks like an un-cercumsized penis
