That is too freakin' cute!!

Round these parts we wrap 'em seaweed and toss 'em in boiling water.

Little butter, little garlic... mmmmmmm... now that's good eatin'

One tip though... don't forgot the water ... they just don't pop the same way that corn does.

Not much left to eat and your picking shells out of your teeth for days!

They're SNACK A DELIC!

It could be worse. What if every cute little critter led to a discussion of their suitability in the bedroom?

My 14 year-old son saw the pic and read your comments here. He said, "Aw, the poor little guy. Everybody's looking at him with hungry eyes!"
I hope you're all happy.

Hey baby! c'mon let's go make some noise. You know you want me, sugarbutt, hey hey hey. Meeeeeeeeeeoowwwwwwwwwww!

Love me.

My 6 year old daughter looked at this last night, and before she saw any of the comments, she mentioned eating it too.

Something about it just says food.:yum:

Yeah, Hugh Hefner has the same problem with his IOtM(Image of the Month). :yum:

JESUS!!! Give a guy a little warning next time while ya? I near spat my coffee out all over my laptop!

Who did it's hair? H.R. Geiger?!

You guys just don't know how BIG a fifty pence piece is! That is not a tiny tortoise in the first picture, it is HUGE freaking genetically modified RASPBERRY:eek: !

It's about the size of a quarter, right?

And I think that the display of the tasty creature next to a very reasonable saucing suggestion is what really lead the thoughts to food.

To me, he looks angry
 

With slant of his brow, he looks angry - probably because someone put a delicious raspberry in front of him and he knows he can't open his mouth wide enough for even one nibble. And if he pops a drupelet, he could drown.

A fifty pence piece used to have a diameter of 30mm. In 1997 the coin was reduced in size to 27.3 millimetres. The tortoise was also reduced in size accordingly.

How in hell did you know that was called a drupelet? :eek:

Drupelet
 

I had to look it up. "Small raspberry nodule thingie" didn't have that snazzy ring to it.
