So I'm talking on the phone with this TBer, and this person tells me about a recent fishing outing this person was on, and went on to tell me about how this person jumped into the lake and wrestled a "not-so-big" snapping turtle onto shore. I thought I'd share the pic, I'll post the face-pic later. No turtles were harmed, just annoyed a little and sent on its way. 
Wouldn't this make a great avitar?

PS - is it the "Qintar" !!!

The big question now: will he or will he not use the turtle head avitar? |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
