#45611 Cleaning out snail shells

Benvolio · Post by **Benvolio** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:36 am

I thought The Cheeky Chickie's response to the snail questionwas faulty. The Lysol suggestion is both impractical and inadvisable. Snail shell spirals make it virtually impossible to spray any cleaning solution into the shells, and the chemicals can damage the shell material. Alcohol might work okay, but it might also damage the shell. Bleach is probably a bad idea if the shell has color.

I've boiled shells before and it gets rid of the smell. If you dry them out well, the shells are usually in good shape.

Dear Benny boy,
Well, why dontcha cry about it?

BTW, I've totes used bleach and alcohol before with no adverse effects. And if the shell tears easily when it's wet, it would not survive a hearty boiling. Just some food for thought!

XOXO,

Maybe aliens abducted and performed experiments on SWKT?

Or the person that we knew as Swicket returned to Mars, and returned the original Swicket back to us. Fred, is the Swicket we knew from Mars?

Oh! I love using "totes"! It's very fun. Let's be BFFs (BFF? There's always an "s", but why?)!

Dear everyone,

You delightful simpletons! Of course I'm not being nice. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew how unpleasantly condescending I can be!

Contemptfully,

Unpleasantly condescending? You do realize that if unpleasant condescension is equal to hilarity, or sounding like a power puff girl, you fail right? Ar at least at the unpleasant bit.

From now on, SWKT's new name is Blossom.

"I'm annoying! Tee hee!"

Do you think we can get one of the administrators on the board to change his name for us?

It would be highly unethical. It would be even more unethical to also change his avatar. *wink* *nudge*

Hey, Portia added the N to my name, so it is feasible.

I cannot tell you how delighted I would be to see SWKT's avatar become a power puff girl. Also, I want to put forth the idea that it would be possible for something to survive boiling even if it tears more easily when wet.

Or either way werf doesn't care.

Boy, it's a good thing that unpleasant condescension is NOT in fact equal to "hilarity, or sounding like a power puff girl." Because I would just be so disappointed if such an eloquent writer and brilliant logician as yourself thought I had failed. Whew, close one.

Gee, you're a sweetheart. But my goal really isn't to make everyone act like jerks. It's to make fun of people who say dumb things!

I was reading the previous post and I was reminded of Plankton from Spongebob. You know, the little guy who acts all superior trying to steal some secret recipe or something. Anyways his condescension is sometimes quite hilarious.

Oh, and excellent use of sarcasm, touchÃ©.
