the 100% directionless thread

My roommate and I are turtle "paramedics". We saved one from the middle of Georgetown Road after it was hit by a car. His shell was shattered, but the vet said he doesn't appear to be seriously injured beyond what is the chelodian equivalent of a large open pneumothorax (he's got a hole in his back about the size of a golf ball while he's only maybe six inches by four inches). Bandaged up and resting overnight, he will receive a "shell patch" at a later date.

....and you all thought I was kidding when I said I like animals more than I do people.
 
Can someone with basic Photoshop skills modify the NREMT-P "disco patch" to have a turtle in the center and replace the "technician" with "turtle"? I want to post it on my roommate's Facebook. LOL

Haha! My partner lives in Brownsburg and found a turtle in her neighborhood after it had been run over by a car. She said lots of the innards were falling out, so she ran over it in her car to put it out of its misery.

She was just stopping by her house to grab something when she did this, so as she drove back out, the kids that watched her run it over were throwing rocks at the dead turtle.

Since she made the mistake of telling everyone at work about this, she has gained the nickname turtle killer.

Did you bitterly and cynically deliver verbal smackdown to the turtle afterwards?

No, we named her Susan after a professor friend of mine.

Do they have a funny talking fellow in an orange jumpsuit with "DOCTOR" written on it who wears a Cat in the Hat hat and drives the HEMS chopper as mayor? :D

Looking good Oz, clear to ground, follow the freeway west, Indy hello again its Medivac, helicopter mike oscar, descending below the floor of the TMA and changing ..... eh, bloody Class C VFR sectional too small for blind Brown to read, lets just change to CTAF, good day

Brown forgets what the FAA renamed the TMA too, Brown probably should know that, um ... but its been a few years ... :D

Douche in the blue Mercedes S500,

1) If my Neon can handle the highway 67 at the speed limit, your car can, too - in luxury

2) The left lane is for passing, not going 25 under the speed limit

3) There's these sweet new things called eyes, head movement, and a turn signal. They're still pretty new, but I've read some studies that show if they're used in conjunction, your chances of merging into my lane and making me swerve (off the road) decrease quite a bit.

4) Go bathe in the menstrual blood of an AIDS afflicted meth-head. (Too far?)
