Happy New Year
Monday, January 1st, 2007

I decided to compile a very personal list of some of the best postings (in my opinion) on CWR.
It’s in the category “best” in the right margin.
An Unazukin riding a snail, while an ant heroically holds up a leaf umbrella with a droplet of water on it and a caterpillar walks on the snail’s shell. Could this one image end all the world’s unhappiness?
Previously:
bathtime for snails
knitted snail
more snails
See, where we’re living now is better than J&M’s flat in Aoyama!

They don’t have ducks[1]




Update: [1] The one on the left is actually a Canada goose.
I gave the snails a quick bath and a bite to eat.


Nice and clean:


Oi! Stop trying to escape!

Coincidentally the day after I caught my snails, Gordon Ramsey had a segment on his programme about eating snails from his garden. Here’s his recipe for pan fried snails.
Updates:
Here’s a newspaper article about a guy in San Francisco who serves garden snails at dinner parties. Apparently he cooks hundreds of them at a time – not sure where he gets hundreds from though.
Photographs of a mad bloke who’s breeding hundreds of the buggers. He’s got one, called Nancy, which appears to be a roman snail.
