The Continuing Adventures of Tim (Supermantis)

Good god (er I mean all hail Tim)!

I just spent all night reading this and got quite a few weird looks from my husband before he finally asked me what was so funny?

I tend to humanize my pets and have funny conversations with them but this takes the cake... I seriously have not laughed this hard in a very, very long time.

THANK YOU TIM!!! (and DensityMan)

Keep up the great saga!
 
Tim,
We previously spoke regarding your educational and career aspirations. I assume that you have recieved good grades this semester at Stoma Tech (through hard work or intimidation). I was hoping you would consider a summer internship at my firm. We are an apartment developer in sunny Southern California and have just aquired a site we will be building 200 units on. There is an empty daycare center there that needs to be demolished and I was hoping you might consider coming down for three months. You could take frequent trips to the beach and tide pools, Visit Sebastian (from The Little Mermaid) at Disneyland, Go to the Monterey, Long Beach and Scripps Aquariums for "some continuing education", I know you would enjoy Death Valley. Accomidations are available in my 100g reef tank with all you can eat crabs and snails. Just think days spent demolishing things and getting paid for it, nights here in The O.C. hookin up with the locals at the Laguna Beach tide pools, and once youv'e laid waste to the coast it's right back home DM (shipping included). Thank you for considering my offer, ReefStu

what the heck is that thing?
 
Get rid of them? They're gorgeous!

I'm trying to propogate them into covering all of Tim's tank. :D

BUT, if one did wish to get rid of them, I'd assume kalk injections would still work.
 
Ditto on Joe's Juice.


Congrats Tim and DensityMan on the Thread of the Month Award...You have offically become a superstar in the reefkeeping world!!!!
 
Tim thanks all of you for the adoration... er.. congratulations.

Really looking forward for a chance to eat... meet this "Rocky Balboa" guy. Want to make sure he knows how much Tim didn't like Rocky III and that Rocky IV is completely unnecessary.

Furthermore, if Rocky thinks the pasty Russian was tough, he's going to need many more stunt doubles at dinner than he had for Cliffhanger and stupid car-movie combined.

You throw in airfare for Omega and NaH2O both and Tim think about it then for sure.

Tried higher education. Tim apparently not cut out for school. Got booted for playing with food which got listed as "Assault." Personally, Tim think it should have won an award for creative expression. Tim is ahead of his own time maybe.

It's OK though. Tim could have taught their whole "World Domination" program. It was pretty weak.
 
Rocky is an unindentified species. He's Callianassa spec. I can't be more specific.

Well.. he can barely read. I think Tim isn't any better at writing though.
BTW: That Russian was a *****. It was all tactics. I think I'll do the same with Tim.:hammer: I'll even bring my manager with me :bum: (Paulie)


I'm in Europe now, when I come home, I'll make sure Tim gets his visitor in a couple of days.

GEE WHIZ I'm behind!! Huge congrats to the both of you, first of all...this truly is the funnest greatest thread ever.

Now, DM, I don't know WHAT happened to the real link I post back in March...it was a great article. Instead I got you guys caught up in a do-loop! I'll see if I can retrace the real site.

BTW, Scrooge has gone to a good new home where he is getting fat and spoiled. Sorry Tim!

cheers!
 
Great Thread,DM & Tim, My Paguristes digueti (Red Leg Hermit)
Hercules and Wonder Woman haven't stopped laughing yet. Here's a little story
Paguristes digueti Surprise

No its not a recipe!
Well its happened again every day there is a new surprise in the tank.If anyone reading this remembers my Paguristes digueti ( Red Leg Hermit),"Hercules" he gave us a real scare this morning.
Had to leave for work real early which left the morning feeding to my wife. Got a call that not only was there a feast of fresh snail eggs going on in the back of the tank but it had appeared that Hercules had been extracated from his shell an consumed also. She described the carnage and I was sure that he had gone to Paguristes digueti heaven.Upset all day and preparing a eulogy for him,
I was anxious to get home an examine the meaty carcass, which my wife had saved.I have had some of our crabs molt before but there seemed to be too much"meat" along with the legs and such.
The first thing I did was get a nutcracker (He's big) and break open one of the remaining claws and leg. Low and behold they were deviod of meat.I anxiously went back to the tank to check the shell he left behind and it sure seemed empty.Wife said it had been in the same position all day.
Well the lights went out a little while ago and while doing my regular flaslight routine I thought I spotted a bit of red in what we thought was his empty shell. I threw open the canopy, tore off the acrylic lid and dove intothe tank to retrieve the shell.I placed it on top of a rock and waited.
Suddenly to my surprise a pair of beady eyes appeared, then legs,and finallyclaws.
A larger crab than before and seemingly none the worse for ware Hercules made his grand re entry into the reef. If he keeps on going this way we may have to re name him GODZILLA! Can Wonder Woman be far behind?
Here's a link to Hercules Pic He now fills the entire large shell
am going to put a large conch shell in the tank for his new upgrade home.

More details and pics later, but Tim made me promise to post the following on his behalf:

"Tim loves Scalare!"

Then he said something like, "Uh, Tim not mean in a physical lustful human love, but a deep black-hearted manner between two predators of equal merit" or something. He trailed on and on about it for a few minutes begging me not to post his original comment, but what the hey, I'm feeling bold today. ;)
 
Tim would also like to 'meat' (his spelling, not mine) Hercules. He thinks he has just the perfect dish to serve at their dinner...
