Form Over Functionality

[AK77]

Today I received through the mail, 3 hermit crab shells. They were very attractive looking and I was sure would attract the residents of my aquarium.

Within minutes of placing the shells in the aquarium, one of the larger hermits came over to investigate. He spent about 20 minutes trying the various shells on for size. He finally settled on one and off he strolled. Unfortunately, due to the long point on the shell, he ends up walking in circles as it gets dragged in the sand and is forever having to re-adjust himself whenever he wants to climb up a rock.

Despite all these difficulties, he wont relinquish it and return to his old shell lol.

Well the plan is to get all the hermits into really interesting and attractive looking shells. Now if I can only get the snails to do the same

Well that's 2 hermits into the new shells now. The one with the big white claw decided he'd taken a fancy to one of the pretty new shells. While he was doing so...... I put my tongs in the water and stole his ugly old shell before he could get back in it lol.

It was quite funny to watch because you could see him turn around and look for his old shell for comparison.... and it wasn't there lol. I'm wicked I know, but he looks much better in his knew ride

I think what would be more popular would be to push Tim Westwood into a large aquarium filled with lions mane jellyfish wearing nothing but a pair of speedos.

Now I'd pay good money to see that. "Tim... you've officially been....... STUNG TO BUGGERY "
