A little belated, but better late than never, right?





Tim opened his presents early (as usual, doing things on his own terms). Nassarius topped his celebratory dinner, but remnants of Bruce were nibbled on as well... or at least shown off for the holidays; we hang stockings, Tim cleaned house and pushed scraps of exo-skeleton out and about.

It was a pretty (if somewhat disturbing) display.

Also finally found a shed dactyl for display!



Tim hunting for more 'presents'

*rustle-rustle-rustle*

And here he is showing off his favorite gift. A new Telson-sticker...




Enjoy all!

I got it, no way was Tim going to let something the size of "A" stay around in the tank without giving it a whuppin.

SuperMantis approaches 20000 readers

As Tim, our beloved SuperMantis approaches his 20,000th reader, I thought it only appropriate to re-post a photograph proving his celebrity status, while at the same time feeding his ego.




check the Friar's Club website for dates and info on Tim's roast...

DM - I've been ROFLMAO for the last 1/2 hour catching up on Tim's handywork. The Telson sticker is hilarious, most fitting for Tim.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TIM!! AND DensityMan!!

HAppy New Year to All!!

Tim's been touched recently by the outpouring of support and wishes to thank all of his favorite meatbags.

In fact he seemed genuinely warm today when he offered each of you a hug...




Here's to wishing all of you who've stuck around since the beginning and those of you yet to join us good health and happiness for the New Year.

Cheer!

Now assuming that Tim will want to take this great show on the road, is there any chance he can make a stop in Pittsburgh?
I've got a lovely gorilla crab that would just DIE to be Tim's newest and best lunch... errr... "friend"

Tim needs a girlfriend. Maybe that would put a stop to his incessant bouts of overflowing testosterone-induced rage.

JMO.

watch that comment Scalare, youll get on Tim's "people to be eaten real soon" list

DM- how odo you go about aquascaping in Tim's world. i have a N. Wenny finally, but he managed to find a different outlet to use as a door. the one i wanted him to use is in plain sight, of course the one hes using is 1" from the back glass facing another rock id like to switch it up on him to get a better view.
