When Life hands you a bunch of snails.....make escargots!

[Kitsune06]

you've got it backwards... you have a lemondrop, you slug it... *not* leave it out for the slugs!

I feel like I came to the party late. Too bad, and yet I have not yet regretted keepin' my mouth shut on some issues. For such a smart mouth, lots of dumb sh*t comes out of it So anyway....

LOVE the banana keeper thang, Lisa, but you *need* to remember to take it out at the end of the day.... leave it in there a week and you won't remember if it's a banana or a slug in there... and ohhh the fun you could have, guessing. I wonder how much potassium a slug has compared to a banana? I suppose you could add some water from your bottle and have insta chamois butt'r... ... *SHUDDER*

ohhhh my.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The horror! The horror!

Why not? We all like Drunken Chicken, why not Drunk Skunk?

Perhaps you'd rather have a little side dish of steamed banana slug in garlic? I mean slugs are just homeless snails after all.

How did we manage to let this happen??????

Our late cat Sara, a muscular Abyssinian who was convinced she was starving even though we had dry food out 24 hours a day, and would eat anything...has this become a run-on sentence yet?--once ate a slug. We knew that because we HEARD her struggling to chew it as she came inside. SMACKSMACKSMACKSLURPSMACK

I hope this is helpful. hahahahahahaha.

Maybe the slugs didn't move out, just put houses on to disguise themselves.

Walking the dogs the other night, DH stepped on something that made a peculiar wet cracking sound. I was sad to see it was a snail....and it was flattened. If a snail cracks on the sidewalk and there are no slugs to hear it, did it make a sound?

Alright! This is going into each or your permanent records! I'm keeping my eye on all of you....

Australian doctors have issued a bizarre warning about eating slugs after a student contracted a potentially fatal brain disease when he swallowed some of the slimy gastropods for a dare. Advising those with a taste for escargot to stick to reputable French restaurants, the medicos said there had been numerous cases of meningitis since 1971 caused by people eating garden snails or slugs.

One child died after eating snails and one patient contracted meningitis after eating lettuce covered with snail slime, a report in the Medical Journal of Australia due to be published Monday said.

Sydney University parasitologist John Walker said the most recent case was a Sydney student who ate two slugs from the garden as a dare for 20 dollars (13.80 US).

Walker, said tests found the man's meningitis was caused by a worm normally seen in rat lungs but carried as larvae in slugs and snails.

The worm caused the brain lining to swell, forcing doctors to drain fluid from inside the man's skull.

He was hospitalised for 17 days and it was five months before he could resume his studies.

Walker reported the man's friend also swallowed some slugs as part of the dare but promptly vomited them up, foregoing his 20 dollars.

...stick to reputable French restaurants...

As opposed to irreputable French restaurants?

We had an interesting morning. Our weimaraner (dog) was out in the back yard stalking something that was on the other side of the fence and under our shrubs.

My daughter & family have a 6 month old weimaraner/Chesapeake Bay retriever (took me this long to learn how to spell it). She is beautiful, but at 6 months already weighs 51 pounds!! She's eating (or at least chewing) the furniture - wooden(!) furniture!!

Sorry, girls, but I just got back from 5 days away and found this thread! At first I was (what a story) then (someone called a name??) then !! Opinions expressed. No names called. Thank you, SadieKate, so happy you got rid of whatever the offending post was... then, you gals just made me LMAO I just had to bring it back around.
