DM, you can charge advertising space as well.... i though i doubt you could get the $$$ the superbowl gets, but you could televise it as the Fishbowl.

This whole train of threads has made Tim nostalgic. Hence the retelling of his dinner with the snail trio below...
Snails at the door, so of course, I knock. It seems backwards to you?... that is because you do not have the enbiggened brain like I are having. Their spokessnail enters while the other two seem a bit nervous and hide out under a rock. This behaviour is rude to me. I make note of where they hide with my superior vision and do not let them know I sees them move under my favorite sopt for short-time roommates... Nostalgia makes me hungry. Hungry makes me condense story time for non-enbiggened-brained meatbags. I call this move "the handshake." After I close the 'door' by moving the weightstone out of the clear-annoying-shield-box I 'meet' the rest of the trio... The end... *BURP* Have to go ready the "guestroom" again now...

I was just in my LFS and they've got a red hermit crab in. It must be 10+" across and currently using a piece of plastic piping as a "shell". THe first thing I thought was TIM!!!!! If you were on this side of the pond it would almost have been worth the £20 to see what would have happened!
Love the thread by the way! Ed |

If we could find a tiny (same mass as Tim) octopus I might (might) try that out; he's gotten much more adept at capturing prey. Otherwise I defer to the octopus as having the advantage by size alone (and hunting specialization).
The 10" hermit crab I'll pass on trying though. I still suspect a hermit-meal of taking his redundant sensory receptor (that's an eye to you and me, Russ). /shiver Tim's even been psyching himself up to bigger prey items though. Just this week he has repeatedly attacked the filter intake and the cleaning magnet. My boy...

Bigger you said? Here's the guy that is currently sharing space with 2 of my N. Wennerae's in the refugium.
[IMG][/IMG] Florida stone crab, about 3 inches across now after molting Saturday night. Came in on my first shipment of TBS rock and was only 1/2 diameter in April. He's a mean sucker too.

I have got to say I have spent the past 2 days reading this entire thread and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. Tim if you can hear me I think the world is a safer and better place with you in it. I sleep better knowing that Tim the super mantis watches over us all. Keep up the good work my friend.

blessed be to me to be on the "good list" Tim you have given me and I would guess all the others who follow the astonishing tales of the super mantis a little shine of light in an otherwise dull and drab world and for this I thank you , I can only hope that my peacock will one day aspire to such greatness as you, yourself have achieved

Just so you know...Tim's "Good List" is remarkably similar to his "Tasty List".

Ya sure its not a "Good and Tasty" list?

The only way Tim could ever be more badass or cool would be if he had a patch for his missing eye.
This is just about the best thread I have ever read, thanks Density and Tim!

So destiny, today is labor day did Tim take the day off from ridding the world of ninja crabs??? Or is a super mantis allways vigil in the ways of goodness and the fine dining????
