PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Name Strider's Turtle!" |
People in chat last night were about to call PETA when they found out that my turtle doesn't have a name. So, I introduce SB'd newest contest:NAME STRIDER'S TURTLE! He is a male soft-shell turtle. He is aquatic, so he comes to the surface only to breath. In fact, he can stay underwater for about 20 minutes, because he can process oxygen from the water. His favorite activities are trying to catch fish, and burrowing himself in the gravel. Don't worry, I put fish in there that are so fast, there's no way he'll catch them. Thank you for helping make a miracle happen for a very special turtle! Your name will make a difference and help break this terrible cycle of namelessness. By naming the turtle you can make an immediate difference in the turtle's life and see tangible results. If your name is selected, you'll get… 2 letters from the turtle and an updated photo each year. A fact-filled brochure describing the conditions in the turtle's tank. An annual update from me. A complimentary subscription to Turtle News, Turtle International's special newsletter delivered right to your home. The opportunity to write to the turtle as often as you like, as well as send birthday, Easter and Christmas gifts and cards. Thanks in advance for the suggestions! Strider

Since you have ruled out my suggestion of Morla - maybe you're not a Neverending Story fan, or perhaps you don't like the idea of naming a boy turtle after a girl turtle - I vote for Tortuga. It's cute, and you'll get to talk about your turtle with a sexy accent. (Phew, exactly 50 words, if you don't count this sentence, that is...) Femme
