So creepy!
In a weird way, reminds me of the Troklophane from Doctor Who.
EDIT: The woman is the creepiest.

@abertssquirrel Don’t get me started on the adults. They’re surprisingly fast when they’re angry, and _every_thing makes them angry. I usually get them off the road by waving a shirt at them like a Spanish matador then turning around and running for my life. Corrida de tortugas. Olé!
@AnimeCanuck The babbies usually hatch around September 
They are so small and not yet vicious demon dinosaurs

Ah yes, you gotta watch it with those snappers. That is where the long tail comes in handy…probably not ideal for the turtle, but better a sore tail than death in traffic.
I once made the bad bad mistake of temporarily putting a small one in the same container as a frog…which ended predictably…a single floating frog leg…
WTF, young me?
But the babies are cuuuuute.

Living from your hobby, I have dreamt of this a lot (hasn’t everyone?). But I accepted the idea that I would work and do my hobbys only on my free time. I have some friends who live from their hobby (musicians), but they struggle to earn enough money to have a decent life…
On the other hand, my brother did not give up on his dream, and his band is now well famous in the whole country (France) !
Anyway, good luck on your improv career, I wish you to succeed 
As I’m reading this hilarious thread on getting your sect name (yes I would like one like so many others)
This pops in to my head
Me lying in my bed at a ripe old age, family all gathered around, in my hand my smart phone on the screen Wanikani, I’m doing my reviews, one of my nieces leans over and says ‘auntie Jelly (yes that is actually what my niece calls me ) you have burned them all.’ I’ll look at her and say, my old voice quivering ‘yes but I still need my sect name’ as I look back my eyes widen a peaceful smile over my face my hand falls, family gathering around. The phone lying on the floor is picked up by my niece, she brings her hand to her mouth tears in her eyes, on the screen next to my user name is finally the name I long to see, my sect name ………
will anyone see this probably not but I still have to share, who knows maybe it will be good enough

Teehee, I had a good giggle.
… I wonder if Koichi saw this, if he’d bless you with something like “Sect Dying Wish” or something like that…
“Dies of Old Age”, “Lifelong Learner”, “Is Getting Older”. XD
Seriously could get creative with that story.

First rule about sect names…
What’s a sect name?
Never heard of it.
We shouldn’t talk about things we’ve never heard of.

@AnimeCanuck I’m glad it made you giggle 
someone found this as funny as I did mission accomplished
I had to watch Edward Scissorhands after I wrote this……I don’t really know why (think it might be the old Winona) image for reference
@plantron_RickMatsuri I now have this playing in my head and I love it!

Just plain old “Dying Wish” is synonym with asking about a sect name…

No, no, it’s an ACTUAL RULE.
Go read the rules again.
If you break it, bad things will happen.
(Although, does Discourse have the equivalent of a lower case “turtle”???)

I’m gonna tell Viet on you.

It’d be pretty sweet if you wrote up a Bible of Koichi and then they sold it in the Tofugu store.
cough @koichi

So, it’d be The Gospel of SpicyDragon? The life of Koichi, as recorded by his faithful disciple and chronicler. I’ll need to include you as an Apostle of Koichi though.

What is my title as a true believer? Since I’ve been bestowed a blessing and honor by the mighty Crabigator.
You too are one of the Apostles of Koichi. His chosen few. Those who have stood by him in times of turmoil (or entertainment) and have been rewarded accordingly.
I remember the old days… I slightly miss them.
