I rather like turtles. There are a ton of them at the lake across from my office and I enjoy watching them if I take a walk around the lake during lunch.

I'm with Grandpa on this one; I hate them too! I distrust anything that carries its home with him. Snails are on notice too. I guess the homeless and their shopping carts too.

Mickey: I also just liked the line "My grandfather hated turtles." It popped into my head while driving to Atlanta and I managed to keep it there until we got to the hotel and I could type it out last night.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand blood-lust and the need to make little critters pay for your rough day, but my rage against God's creations is all-encompassing.

Turtles? And ladybugs? If I were to be speciesist about my destructive tendencies, I think they'd be pretty low on the list.

Hedgehogs, though? Fucking toast.

Aww, don't hurt the turtle. He's cute.

Ladybugs really do love to sneak inside. I usually find piles of them dead on the floor before I ever even notice them flying around. Is our home that toxic?

We've also got these odd beetles flying around this time of year. At night, I can hear them pop against the front and back doors, trying to fly through them. Stupid beetles.

I really can't think of a less offensive creature than the turtle. I guess that's why your grandfather's hatred is noteworthy.

Ladybugs bother me a little, but only because they find their way into the apartment en mass this time of year. I just try to shoo them outside because they make a mess if you crush them.
