Giant Turtle ‘Tocks

by Meg on August 31, 2007

Caked and wrinkly, turtle ‘tocks
Crinkly, crusty turtle ‘tocks
Rumpled, puckered turtle ‘tocks
Ridged, and dimpled, turtle ‘tocks.
Olé!

There is a turtle in San Diego bay called “”wrinklebutt” I wonder if she is related to this ‘tock’!

Love the curly turtly tail.

The only person I can think of when I see “wrinklebutt” is Michael Douglas.

Das is a Cherman helmet vis der legs.

Pretty sure that’s a tortoise, guys.

Guess what? that’s a tortoise ;)

14 me 08.31.07 at 10:37 am

looks like a deformed grey football with feetz + tock.

15 Villy 08.31.07 at 10:44 am

I love turtles and all things even remotely related to them *such as -dun dun dun- tortoises!*

uh..trish…highly doubtful.

Wrinklebutt- sea turtle.

This dude- not sea turtle.

16 NYgirly 08.31.07 at 11:08 am

he’s all waddling around in his dad’s shell ^^

17 Subhangi 08.31.07 at 11:24 am

Squeee! Nice tor’tocks!

Re: Martin-san’s “Elephant inside a shell” – that’s a PERFECT description! I LOLed.

(That ees a tortoise, by the way. There’s no doubt.)

18 white_jenna63 08.31.07 at 11:27 am

Yup, it’s a tortoise. But all tortoises are technically turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. Oh, and all names are subject to change in different continents.
Now that the alliteration’s done, if it’s got big elephant feet, it’s a tortoise. If it’s got webbed swimmy feet, it’s a turtle.

19 Wbirdie 08.31.07 at 11:35 am

Don’t look, Ethel!
Too late! She’d already been mooned! :D

20 Jen C 08.31.07 at 11:41 am

Love seeing the turtle/tortoise family on here! A proud momma of a 18yr old russian tort here!

21 Renee in Texas 08.31.07 at 12:00 pm

Either way, I shall never look at a turtle/tortoise the same way again

22 Pheas 08.31.07 at 12:40 pm

Eet looks like a heffalump in an Army helmet! (Perhaps the area was being shelled?)

23 luvinmalssomuch 08.31.07 at 1:29 pm

I think that’s a tortoise if it hasn’t already be said. Yup it is.

24 Manda 08.31.07 at 2:00 pm

I’m hearing the Super Mario Bro’s theme song…
*BOING!*
*BONK!*
This is a pic of a koopa post bonking, right before he recovers…

25 Miss Ruth 08.31.07 at 2:08 pm

That’s too funny! It does look like a german helmet.

26 hey-h 08.31.07 at 2:22 pm

Yep, looks like a tortoise…but since tortoise is a subset of turtle, turtle is fine, too. (Sea turtle, however: not so much. I see no sea.) But usage of turtle/tortoise varies (says Wikipedia) depending on whether you’re speaking American, British, or Australian.

27 Annie 08.31.07 at 2:23 pm

HEhehe my first thought wasit is shaped suspiciously like a little baby trying to do their first sommersault. I laughed out loud. Excellent Picture

28 Poshcat 08.31.07 at 2:27 pm

Who knew the turtle ‘tocks song is actually the lost ending to ‘Chocolate Rain’?!?!?

::sings it forever and ever::

29 Theresa 08.31.07 at 2:29 pm

`When we were little,’ the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, `we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle–we used to call him Tortoise–’

`Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn’t one?’ Alice asked.

`We called him Tortoise because he taught us,’ said the Mock Turtle angrily: `really you are very dull!’

30 BBM 08.31.07 at 2:59 pm

Looks like a dirty pac man is eating him.

31 liz 08.31.07 at 3:48 pm

hmm.
my cute-o-meter must be busted.
i guess it has its own kind of “cute-ness”.
LONG weekend! whooo-hooo!
Have a great one everybody!

32 ceejoe 08.31.07 at 4:03 pm

for you torty/turtle lovers:
why do they curl up their tailios like that?

33 NYgirly 08.31.07 at 4:48 pm

his tail is curled under cuz he’s embarrased that he got busted with no panties by the tortarazzi when he was out partying with Paris and Britney :D

34 ceejoe 08.31.07 at 5:06 pm

lol… thank you, NYgirly!
I shall now sleep better knowing the answer.

35 bugmom 08.31.07 at 5:12 pm

NYgirly: I think you’ve got it! Lindsay Lohan couldn’t make it.
Laughing my butt off here (and getting strange glances from the boss….)

36 Stephanie S. 08.31.07 at 5:22 pm

This is somehow totally totally cuuuuuuute!!!

37 snusnu 08.31.07 at 5:42 pm

I do love me some tortie tookis. And tortie tail. Whenever I hold my three toed box turtle, I have to squeeze his teeny tail. He’s not fond of this action.

38 Lizzy 08.31.07 at 7:22 pm

*adds on* Yes, that is most definitely a tortoise. Notice the elephantine feet and domed shell – turtles generally have flipper-like feet and a sleek, flatter shell for lower water resistance.

But whatEVER! This little dude/ette is simply PROSH. The curly wrinkly tail action is too moische. Since this fella is probably purty big, I would like to hold onto it and walk (slo o o o wly) behind him going “la la la!”

39 CuteBabyFix.com 08.31.07 at 7:29 pm

First the baby hippo ac-shons, then the tortoise- this needs to linky-ed for your viewing pleasures. Don’t mind the bad grammers tho- CBD wuz not an eenglish major like mee:

I loves me some zoo aminals.

40 Shannon Johnson 08.31.07 at 8:52 pm

Whoa! that is all I can really say at this point.

41 Aubrey 08.31.07 at 9:45 pm

Turtle table!

42 Ant 08.31.07 at 11:51 pm

“I like turtle.” [grin]

43 Tally 09.01.07 at 2:37 am

Turtle/tortoise… All the same to me. It’s cute!

44 anner 09.01.07 at 4:23 am

so, meg, as i’m sure you know, some of us have a friend crush on you…you know, “someday maybe i’ll meet meg and she’ll think i’m cool…”

anywho, this little turtle song has just made my creepy cyber friend crush waaaaaaay more pathetic.

45 anner 09.01.07 at 4:24 am

(cuz i like it so much and now i think you’re even cooler than i did before)

46 bugmom 09.01.07 at 5:50 am

anner, I feel the same way. Maybe not 3X as much (lol) but the same all together. She is just so darn witty and you just KNOW she would be a riot on a girls night!

47 donutbill 09.01.07 at 7:56 am

Is that the back of him or is he just trying to see his own belly??

48 NYgirly 09.01.07 at 3:37 pm

*perk*

did someone say Meg was gonna tour the States (sorry to Canada et al.: we get her first hehehe) for girls’ nights out across the country? ^^

*nods in agreement*

Meg does seem neat!

49 Yet Another Michelle 09.01.07 at 11:11 pm

*sigh* cute turtle talio!

Do you ever have one of those near perfect moments that just come crashing down around you? Here’s mine:

I was at the library with my eldest son, and low and behold in the parking lot was a gaggle of these really feathery with ‘tocks white chickens. And they had babies. And there was a car parked right to the perfectly-framed-in-my-viewfinder-left of them that had a license plate reading “eehhhh” (almost ehhn). I was framing the shot,waiting for the perfect chickie ‘tocks view, thinking of all the glory I’d receive on CO, how I’d even edit the c.o.x.c.u. for Meg, how I might maybe get invited to work in the Dream Office, etc., etc.

And then to my horror….camera battery was dead. Then the chickens took their beautiful, feathery white ‘tocks back under the fence.

:(

Maybe another day the Qte Starz will align again…

50 Yet Another Michelle 09.01.07 at 11:13 pm

And I second the “Meg’s Girls’ Night Out Tour”. Meg rocks!

A male Galapagos tortoise, so I’m told.
