Boscoe the Turtle Has Cashed His Check
2002-04-25 21:55:12
I found this on the ground the other day as I was walking to the laundromat. I think these are instructions on how to poison turtles! What kind of world do we live in?
Boscoe
2 cups a day -- Twice Give him 1 pink pill w/food
Turtles Please feed sometime on Friday. The food is on top of the tank.
Plenty of small pellets & 10-12 large stinky pellets
We'll be back about 7 PM on Saturday...
So, you be the judge. Sure, there are the obvious dead giveaways... give them the stinky pellets, and bizarre references to mysterious "pink pills"... but maybe this is all innocent stuff. Maybe a family of macabre turtle killers doesn't live nearby...in Oakland... where Boscoe waits happily for a weird pink pill that makes him very, very sleepy.
Yeah, I could just be imagining all this stuff. Yeah, that's it. There's no anti-turtle conspiracy here, no, none at all. Move along, nothing to see....

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
