From Draxtor on October 31 (some profanity) , " The Giant Snail Races - hosted by RacerX Gullwing - have been going on since October 2004. So why have I not produced a comprehensive deep dive into the wonderful madness of their world until NOW? Well, I am ashamed and I hope I can redeem myself with this one ... And may Ozzy, Zappa and Richard Simmons have mercy on my avatar's soul! +++++++++++++++ Video production and music by yours truly with the help of the fine folks mentioned in the credit sequence. ++++++++++++++ For further SL human/avatar interest type mini documentary viewing:

Cartoon of The Day: Trek Dating

 

 

 Taken at the Snail Races' "Star Trek" event. In the Original Series, nurse Chapel had something of a crush on Spock. She never up and asked him out, and he never up and told her anything. But it's easy to imagine the conversation like this.

 Just a heads up, the Giant Snail Race tomorrow is a Relay for Life cross-country race through the Shires of Raglan. It's quite a fun one but not a long race. Lots of bouncing, and being shot through the air from cannons, and a tiny sized tube maze a long the way.
