Excellent.

I greatly amused myself by listening to Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" while watching this video on repeat so I recommend that.

Yes, it's an obvious choice but it's still a good one.

"...so I recommend that."

I have Shake Shake Shake on repeat.

Hey, pssst! I heard you like tortoise butt wiggles.

There is a soft spot in my heart for turtles and tortoises for some reason. Here's a post from r/TurtleFacts about how turtles and tortoises can feel their shells.

And if you are not a regular on r/TurtleFacts (I don't understand, but ok), then you may not have seen this turtle sneeze.

Other good songs:

Kiss' "I Was Made For Lovin' You" and Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy."

No, my boyfriend and I did not spend the past couple of hours trying to come up with other songs. I imagine we'll have more tomorrow.

I do think I'm going to pretend I'm Turnip every time I take a shower now, which is at least once a day. What an inspiration.

I watch it to the end every time. Then sometimes, I start it again.

So cute. Between this and the lawyer kitten Zoom post earlier, my MeFi experience today has been quite satisfying.

My red eared slider does this. If you stop giving her scritches before she's satisfied, she will follow you around the house trying to get more. That's how I discovered that turtles are pretty much just cats with shells.

Is there a 10 hour loop of this?

What might the reason for this behaviour be?

It can be trying to shed a scute (top layer of shell that comes off when a new larger layer grows underneath it). My turtle will rub against things to loosen hers. My theory is that it itches. I belong to a turtle group and bottle brushes with suction cups are the hot new tank accessory.
