    Turtle tongue!

  2. Nikki says:

    Ah, NTMTOM, you’re no “heel”, your caption is “laced” with “tongue” in cheek humor, which was clearly written with all of your heart and “sole.”

  3. skippymom says:

    I am now going to polish you off! (lame, really lame)

  4. Theresa says:

    BWAHAHAHAHA!

    This reminds me of the “Far Side” cartoon with the guy in the lab coat on the tiny island with the duck. “So, Professor Jenkins, my old nemesis! We meet again…but this time, the advantage is mine!”

    Well, it’s either an arrest or trying for a pick-up. I’ve seen some other turtle “media” on YouTube that’s… questionable… on the point of turtles’ motives in dealing with human footwear…

  6. Julie says:

    ….um…….fine Corinthian leather….. dang. I got nothin’.

  7. Metz says:

    Methinks NOMTOM has been hitting the spiked punch again. :lol:
    Was this from Shakespear’s unpublished The Tasting of The Shoe?

    Gumshoe detective pumps his sole witness, a worthless loafer, for information.

  14. Gigi says:

    Mc Chelonia replaces McGruff the Crime Dog as National Crime Prevention mascot and shows how she takes a bite out of crime

  15. earlybird1 says:

    Kliban always said, “Never eat anything bigger than your head.

  17. 260Oakley says:

  23. Theresa says:

  24. Lars says:

    I imagine this short little guy needs a lift after a long walk on the flats, and may have to take the elevator up to the platform in order to get his sling back.

  25. knittinkitten says:

  26. jayjay says:

  31. Emmberrann says:

  34. bookmonstercats says:

    The standard of punning is increasing daily.

  35. BB/VA says:

    Hmmmm….this shoe needs more Turtle Wax.

  36. RR says:

    Ah haaa! Jimmy Chew! I actually said it aloud.

    And, yes, a NTMTOM/260Oakley comment-laden calendar would be A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

  37. 260Oakley says:

    @Metz
    Excellent Bard punnage. I was thinking this could also be a scene from Shoe Gentlemen of Verona.

  38. Kar says:

    That tongue is adorable.

  39. blair says:

    and THIS little piggie went for a ride around the enclosure on the back of my shell

  40. Rhea says:

    One of my cat-sitting clients also has a tortoise who always goes for my feet. Bad news in the summer when I’m wearing sandals, and she can move surprisingly fast.

  41. Joanie says:

    Why does the title of this post remind me of Dug from Up when he says “STOP, you dogs!!” except in the form of mr. tortoise nomming on the shoe ^_^

  42. Colonel Jenna says:

    I find the terrapin’s expression to be contemplative, meditative, as if his inward-looking eyes have no idea what his chomper is about to chomp.

  43. Lerrinus says:

    *applause* to all punsters! :lol:

  44. He’s a SOLE MAN ♪♫♪

  45. Macy says:

  46. dogsleder says:

    This eggplant is as tough as shoe leather!!

  47. BB/VA says:

    Tiptoe through the turtle? At least he hopes so!

  48. N. Fritz says:

    260Oakley is awesome as usual, but my props go to Nikki too!

  49. Lars says:

    Tired of trying to make his kitten heel, turtle decides to trainer to do flip flops.
