Play snail racing simulator online 🏁🐌
Pick a snail and get comfortable. It's a long race and overtakes are rare, but the snails are taking it extremely seriously, so the least you can do is watch.

‘more vivid and literary’
Webster's 1913 Dictionary (github)

I decided to build my own version, with a few additional features...
