a turtle??? nope nope it's a hamster... no wait it's a gerbil! that's it gerbil! hehe it's always amusing trying to figure out song lyrics... this one is from Hey Julie by Fountains of Wayne... thanks to irwin i'm addicted to this song. i've also figured out that it takes approximately 2 tracks off the JET album to get from home to work and vice versa... kind of works out well, but i only like about 3 tracks on the cd...
Posted by joann at March 9, 2004 11:23 AMYeah, I thought the same thing at first...turtles do not run on wheels! In fact, they don't run at all. But after the dozenth time or so, I realized that it was actually a gerbil on a wheel, which makes a little more sense. :)

Posted by: Irwando at March 9, 2004 02:22 PMSee, the thing is, I'm not sure a turtle could even walk on a wheel, unless the wheel had a very large radius. They have such short legs, and they can't bend their shells to fit the curvature of the wheel. I think the turtle might just get stuck, with its legs unable to even reach the ground! But then I've never owned a turtle, so I could be totally wrong...
Posted by: Mike at March 9, 2004 05:34 PMDude, the turtle would totally fit on the wheel. Maybe not a gerbil wheel, but one a bit bigger.
Or maybe that's it, the turtle can't move, signifying the man's stagnation at his job!
Or maybe I just have some sort of subconcious turtle thing going on. Green is my favorite color...
Posted by: Irwando at March 10, 2004 11:20 PMhave you guys not heard of the one eyed turtle?!
Posted by: joann at March 10, 2004 11:39 PMUh, no? Is that some sort of euphamism?
Posted by: Irwando at March 11, 2004 12:53 AMI'd rather be not moving and not getting anywhere than moving and not getting anywhere. I think. Although maybe driving around in circles is better than sitting in traffic, so who really knows...
One eyed turtle? Never heard of such a thing. Did you abuse reptiles as a kid...?
Posted by: Mike at March 11, 2004 09:50 AMAh, but who is to say any of us is really here? Or there?
