Awww. . . I'm feeling all warm and squishy inside.
(I ran over a really fat slug with the lawnmower the other day. O_o My son was really upset because he wanted to pour salt on it. I have no idea who could have given him such an idea. :coughfathercough: )
Here, Strider can pick out his own Slug, as he was also feeling ignored last night.
Belladonna, there are enough slugs on that site for you, too. Posts: 9871 | Registered: Aug 2001

Can I donate a truckload of slugs to people who need them? They're destroying my strawberry patch.

slugs suck. What kind of inefficent engineer designed something that has to waste valuable resources secreting slime just to be able to move?

That's in the plan, m2...we just don't keep beer -- no one in the house drinks it -- so I keep forgetting to get it. It's on the grocery list, though.
Do they like their beer cold?

You do know, don't you, that in certain circles going around (tee-hee-hee) slugging people means you really, really like them. I mean really, really, really like them.
Next thing you know, you'll start sticking your tongue out at them (which, in the neighborhood I grew up in, means "Kiss me quick, and don't slobber.")

I would have to ask the wife, but since it is outside, usually at night, I would say room temperature is ok. I wonder if any Federal studies have ever been done. Maybe I should apply for a grant.
My wife actually likes to wait for them to show up and then cover them with salt. She then watches them squirm and eventually steps on them. I just hope I don't wake up some morning with her dumping salt on me.

The Slug battlecry, Storm?? That must of developed after I graduated. What is it? What is it??

I'll never forget the day my 3-year-old daughter pointed out a slug in the garden and said, "Look mommy! Isn't he so cute?"

Here's a slug for T. Analog Kid, because I know I'm being kind of dickish in the random thoughts thread. Sorry.

I swear, I must over look a ton of threads because all of a sudden I see a new thread with x number of posts that I didn't see earlier and it was from a couple of days ago!
And this is a HORRIBLE dobie!! Swift kicks in the @ss was probably the best. jk
It's a good one. But it will die and many will weep.

People only weep if they care. No one's gonna go osama over some fluff thread dying. It's a dobie, and people live with the fact that it's lifespan is supposed to be short.

As long as I keep being a jerk to people; as long as there is a fat, slimy slug in the world; as long as this forum is alive; this thread will never die.
ps. if the grammar in that post is awful, we did our best, yes we did.

*giggles* I loved putting salt on slugs when I was little!!
Hmm...well, this is mostly unrelated, but I found a humongous eel-salamander-thing in a flooded swampy area by my house today. It was 3 feet long and had little eyes and tiny little legs. I was wading around in the water with my dogs, and nearly bumped into it....It was very slimy to the touch. *wrinkles nose partly in disgust and partly because 3-foot-long amphibians are uber-cool* I chased it around for awhile, but it swam away.

I second the 'eeeeww'. My imagination does not permit me to handle creepy, crawly varmints very well. I can just imagine your little feller, for instance, leaping straight up into the air to plant 10,000 suckers of doom into my flesh where it would promptly paralyze me with some kind of venom so it could suck my guts out at its leisure.
But don't mind me. You just play with giant, slimy slugs at your pleasure.

*laughs* Yeah, I was pretty creeped out at first...but then I realized that the thing was kind of cute, in a slimy, gross kind of way, and that it didn't move very quickly, so I petted it and watched it swim. The dogs thought it was cool, too. Posts: 1225 | Registered: Feb 2002

If this thread ends up getting more posts than the Hug thread, I will make a mental note to drench Storm Saxon in ketchup if fate would be so kind enough to allow me to meet him in person.

In case any of you were wondering (Yeah, I bet you were all losing sleep over this one....who am I kidding... ) the thing that I found in the swamp was a Three-toed Amphiuma. Anyways...just thought I'd share that Posts: 1225 | Registered: Feb 2002

Hey Storm can I have a slug? Just for being a noob? Maybe . . . please And just for the record Avadaru I definitely would not have pet that thing, unless maybe I knew it didn't bite.

*grins* One of my many reckless habits, Jib, is picking up critters that I probably shouldn't - snakes being the most common. Usually they're not poisonous, so it's no big deal when they bite (which they usually do...), but I have picked up a rattler and several water moccassins before. Not the smartest thing to do, I know, but this slimy thing was relatively tame compared to those experiences Posts: 1225 | Registered: Feb 2002

Well I give you credit Avadaru you're braver than I am. Whereabouts do you live that you find all these interesting critters?

Louisiana - home of crawly things. Gators, mosquitoes, snakes, nutria, fire ants....pretty much any and every kind of annoying varmint resides here, from what I've observed. It's nice for an outdoors girl like me, though - the woods surrounding a bayou near my house are great for exploring.
