let him do something no snail has ever done. buy a helium balloon & scotch tape his shell to it & let him become one with the universe! if he survives, imagine the tales he'll have to share... "honest, kids! i could FLY!"

Okay guys something else has happened today.
Scene of the `crime´: my balcony

We acutally got some snow today (WOW). I looked out the window around mid day and couldn´t believe when saw big snow flakes and everything outside was covered in white. I had hoped for this for christmas but.... oh well.
Anyway later on I moved the curtains of my balcony door and saw something unusual. It was so odd I even took a photo.
One of the markings in the snow actually looks like a shoeprint but I never went out onto the balcony. I can´t explain the larger one at the bottom of the pic either.

cats can go places that they shouldn't, nor be expected to go. "curiosity" you know ? 🐱
that´s true I guess. But I´ve already excluded this possibility due to the location I´m on the second floor from the top and there´s no trees close enough. Otherwise it could be squirrels too. The only possibilty is birds but the marks they make are usually totally different. I simply cannot explain this at all.
Did aliens visit me and forget to knock? who knows :alien: :unsure:

It's a good thing @armedoldhippy tagged me yesterday afternoon otherwise I might have missed this thread. I have an explanation, @Cuddles. Speedy the Flying Snail dropped in for a visit. He had a rough landing in the snow. The little guy has grown quite large for a snail during his time away from your balcony. The large mark is where he landed first. He slid and bounced and skipped across the balcony towards the top left of the picture. Those are the smaller marks in the picture.





Happy New Tear, @Cuddles.

maybe a peeping tom?
this would be first thought if my flat were located on the ground or even the first floor but I´m higher up.
No chance though because I know the upstairs and downstairs people. Also, there´d be real and larger footprints etc. And who would think of climbing up when it´s so cold and during broad daylight? Seems kinda nuts ??
Should I send the photo to the special FBI section office? I wish a meteor or something cool landed on my doorstep for once. I could make some cash on the side lol

Speedy? Where has he been and what the hell has his diet consisted of? Pigging out over the x -mas period alone would not have made him so huge. veeery curious :yoinks:

You remember Speedy the Flying Snail! He left your brick wall for a world tour. He ate everything a large hungry snail could sink his tiny little teeth into. Did you save him any Christmas cookies?
I only saw the back of him as he was on his way up onto the roof. Never heard from him again.
And the little bastard never even sent me a single postcard :( So why on earth should I make this bugger cookies for ? (I didn´t even make myself any!!)

does not making cookies for yourself make you a sadist, a masochist, or both? did you ENJOY denying yourself fresh hot chocolate chip cookies (and milk!) while you simultaneously craved them? :unsure: :sneaky: just wondering...
actually I wanted to make cookies and also wanted to give some away as a christmas gift but I haven´t been too well lately. I had enough sweet stuff to ruin my weight loss efforts anyway lol :p

poor little fucker was evicted from his shell for non-payment of rent. turns out THAT was a limiting factor for his potential size. after seeing TV ads, he started living in a McDs dumpster and turned into a tubby quickly... those Big Macs are hell on a body...
yeah, big macs have too much bread but never enough burger sauce :(

A snail who goes around the world and only visits McBollocks places? who needs guys like that anyway? I should have eaten him when I had the chance :biggrin:

if he went on tour with AC DC or Springsteen behind my back leaving me behind then I´ll never forgive him :(
He was with Springsteen to comfort him after Clarence passed. He thought you would understand.

Speedy found inspiration from Tom Petty after the shelling incident. He said this song gave him wings; Speedy does not drink red bulls.
