I was going to skip ahead, but I'm glad I let it build up.

guy should of run a minimalist experiment and just picked one of them up and brought it back 20 feet and seen what happened.

I wonder if I was the only one who was a bit terrified seeing the second tortoise lumbering into the frame. Being chased by one of those things combines the horror of unrelenting zombies, with the unassuming nature of rocks. The dichotomy is so potent that your mind can't process it, and you find you just freeze up, as they close in.

Or maybe I just had an unusual childhood.

No stranger than mine I guess, the slow but unrelenting march of the tortoise also reminded me a lot of zombies. I originally just thought the second one was reinforcements but I guess they got into an argument about who gets to kick the dogs ass.

First tortoise just really wanted a cheeseburger.

Thats not "head bobbing"... it's Morse Code. It's weird the turtles keep saying "DEC122012"

NATURE FIGHT!
Tortoise vs. Tortoise

Time: now
Location: outside
Directions: go outside

The dog played the role of the overly excited observer particularly well.

"I wearry of thissss chassssse! Stop running... and I will be merccccciful!"

The Star Trek soundtrack was inspired...

It was like a sumo match made of animals. With the dog as ref.

yyyyooooouuu wwaaaaaannnnnaaaaa throooooooooww dooooooown soooooonnnnnyyyyyy????

As with most backyard brawls, the instigation was far more hilarious than the fight itself.

Never bring a dog to a turtle fight.
