Texas Travesty: Thanks for inviting us into your habitat. What niche would you say you fill in the University? Turtle Whisperer: [whispers] I’ll be right back, my reptilian friends. [speaking] I use my mystical talents to heal the emotional wounds of University students. TT: And you do this by speaking with turtles? TW: [whispers] Quiet down, Randy. [speaking] Yes. TT: What is your favorite movie starring a talking animal? TW: Dr. Dolittle. TT: The original, or the one with Eddie Murphy? TW: Eddie Murphy still makes movies? TT: Yes. TW: That’s unfortunate. TT: Moving on, what do you do for fun? TW: I have one of most extensive Star Wars figurine collections in central Texas. TT: Was that a turtle shell the Ewok used to alert his troops at the Battle of Endor? TW: No, I think it was a conch. TT: What about a giant crab shell? TW: That’s also a possibility.
