Leave 'em in your car in long-term parking at the airport while you're on vacation.

Why? 'cos you don't want to eat them alive.

Because of the "Kill Crabs" thread.

Another useless clone.

I find this thread deeply offensive and upsetting.

Whelks should be treated with love, respect and vinegar (damn!).

Just leave them alone, dammit! They'll die of loneliness.

These directions will only work for Whitby Whelks, first collect your whelk, bung it in a bucket, put bucket in wagon and drive wagon down the A174, A169, A64, A1(M) M1, M69 and finally A4600, remove bucket from wagon and abandon whelk on any nearby ground, it is important throughout this process NOT to talk to the Whelk. Make you return journey calling at a suitable hostelry of your choice (after you've parked the wagon)

Actually Whelks are quite bloodthirsty creatures:

Lightning Whelks live in sandy shallows from below the tide mark to deeper waters. These predatory carnivores bury themselves just under the surface of the sand where tender mollusks they like to eat are easy to find. Clams, scallops and oysters are favorites. The whelk attacks its prey in two ways. Either it grabs the bivalve with its big foot and pounds it apart on its own strong shell, or it inserts the outer lip of its own shell between the valves to force them apart. (From this informative page.)

Move over, Jaws...

eheheh...Sounds like the savage clams in Discworld...

O_O What would be their theme music for whelks to attack then? A polka played on the accordion??? I mean...innocent swimmers would have to have SOME kind of warning before hand

The theme tune is "Whelkum to my world"

Actually vicious as they are maybe " Whelkum to the Jungle " might be more appropriate ^_^

Mr Ruble seems a little confused, he's saying that Miami is in Arizona, perhaps Mr Disney's faster rides have upset him.

What chances of accuracy with camel hump mounting system. Whelks 1 - Camels 0.
