Do you know what this is?

I grew up in Toronto where pill bugs are plentiful, but comments from some of my Vancouver friends suggest that pill bugs are not ubiquitous. Do people recognize this guy?

rolly pollies are EVERYWHERE...

no fear!

d3d on Nov 30 '05 at 6:05pm

Stevethegreat on Nov 30 '05 at 6:05pm

gerpander on Nov 30 '05 at 6:05pm

Run, it's that creepy slug from Cronenberg's The Brood!

bluemagenta on Nov 30 '05 at 6:06pm

puma_blues on Nov 30 '05 at 6:08pm

yep, and in Michigan.

cat_harp548 on Nov 30 '05 at 6:37pm

and in chicago :)

and yes...im actually living outside of toronto now, and i've had a few sightings as well

and neighborhoodies is awesome, though i still haven't gotten anything from them yet, but i've wanted to for years...i should probably get on that...

dangerouspenguin on Nov 30 '05 at 10:06pm

I agree about neighborhoodies -- I just wish they weren't so expensive. I don't mind paying $35 for a really cool shirt, but threadless is way more affordable.

i had one as a pet when i was 5.

my brother stepped on it.

they're in Connecticut.

dangerouspenguin on Nov 30 '05 at 10:09pm

Another friend of mine says they smell funny when you squish them. Did you notice as much when your bro stepped on yours? Just curious...

PinkSabbath on Nov 30 '05 at 10:09pm

exohexover on Nov 30 '05 at 10:11pm

maybe they do smell?

littlem on Nov 30 '05 at 10:13pm

"I think that some people draw by hand, scan their stuff, and do some touch-ups on the computer."

I probably can ask a friend to help me out.

echoepidemic on Dec 01 '05 at 1:18am

I used to play marbles with them.. :P

Me and friends woul'd break up a log and then play that marble game where you have a bunch in a circle and you try and hit them out or something. It was fun. Devilish, but fun.

Bulk Paint TL on Dec 01 '05 at 4:24am

catdogpigduck on Dec 01 '05 at 9:04am

jackanapes on Dec 01 '05 at 9:07am

do you come from some sort of magical land that grows giant mushrooms by streams of sodapop, where gnomes and fairyies play together in the neon sunshine?

catdogpigduck on Dec 01 '05 at 9:09am

I live in Narnia

jackanapes on Dec 01 '05 at 9:10am
