So it's been awhile since Tim's had any real challenging meals... er.. friends over for a visit (and he hasn't forgotten that none of you have helped him with his search for a roommate recently - he made me type that... and I have to say, the glare he's able to make with one eye is impressive).
I paid a visit to the LFS and picked him out a couple of new buddies...
*Chomp-chomp-chomp* go the emeralds...
Aside from a wicked sense of sight, Tim also has a keen sense of taste. It never takes him more than a few moments, no matter how long past his bedtime, to notice when new 'friends' enter the tank.
Not since the little cling-crab 'left' this tank have I witnessed such inventive manuevers to evade notice...
The other less-inventive crab seems to be Tim's favorite playmate at this time. "Less-inventive" in his case can only be interpretted as really stupid. This one, the smaller of the two, actually chooses to 'hide' directly next to Tim's throne. Furthermore, rather than freezing in his tracks when he notices Tim noticing him, he actually scampers back and forth. Tim loves this. It has already inspired many scenes such as that captured below.
I did have a little 'talk' with Tim about playing with his food... friends... so rough, but I'm not sure he was hearing me at the time.
Since adding Team Green on Sunday there's been plenty of rough-housing and shell-smacking, but he's still only playing. In the mean time he's already cleared out the two nassarius and a hermit crab. I figure there'll be more to tell on this story by the weekend though...
Enjoy,

Amy,
Tim wanted me to pass along his extraordinary gratitude at your making him aware of this months poll to make Thread of the Month.
His reaction was priceless. Though I fear he may have to molt to accomodate his huge head.
Thanks!

It was rough to find one. Not only did it have to be ultra-light, it also had to be extremely rugged. I ended up going with a custom titanium job.

Silly keeper-person give Tim tiny world-taking-over device. Now none of meat-bags safe... uh... save for those on my PNTEBILT list.
Going to have to replace many key soon. Typing on tiny keys make Tim mad. Then Tim type harder. Keys break like sissy-ninja-crab-shell under Tim's wrath.
Already the key that looks like symbol of gay-blade is gone. Which is OK. Nothing good to eat starts with a " ." ucchini, ebra mussels, oanthids, none of these is tasty.
Then again, without the missing letter I cannot ip or oom around my throne-room. Hrmmm. Tim mail Dell support when finished smashing keys to make words and make them come fix.
So, that all for now. Roommate ad getting too few calls. Go meatbags. Find Tim roommate.

Hrmm... I may have to tighten security on the wireless network again.
Nagel: Yeah, waterproof was a tough stadard to find as well... Luckily, Tim knows people to threaten at both MIT and NASA, so the specs were met with relative ease.

Cry-pig right. Tim is not caveman. Tim is Tim.
Cry-pig also wrong. Tim is not Imposter. Again Tim say, Tim is Tim.
Silly English language too wrong to use properly by supreme mantis intelligence. Closest thing meat-bags use to real language is morse code.
Tim tell you secret of world now, but again English too silly to convey true meaning:
*Clak* *krik-krik-kraki* *clud-dak* *Kla-KOW*

Someone roll out the welcome banner and give Tim the proper greeting to Reef Central...........
You are an inspiration to all keepers of stomatopods and we look forward to hearing more stories. If you prefer to let your keeper translate we understand, for we are mere humans and our intelligence is limited.
