Late last night I wandered outside in my bare feet to grab the mail. The sprinklers had just done their job and the driveway was damp. Not slippery, just refreshingly cool. The evening was beautiful, not a cloud in the starry sky and a cool wind blowing from the East. I savoured the feel of wet concrete as my toes maintained my grip. The trip to the mailbox was uneventful and I purposely marched up the driveway sorting the days mail. Suddenly, it struck! I'd stepped in an enormous, grayish white slug and squooshed him up between my toes. Just writing this and reflecting on the disgusting oil slick sensation of squished slug is enough to make me gag.

Damn slugs... sent by the Devil I tell you.

Haven't you thought about how the slug felt about this unpleasant experience!? Me me me me me. Self self self. At least you lived to tell the tale.

It was a big brownie coloured slug and I reckon it was disguising itself as part of the dog-doo. 😠

sometimes early european settlers would eat banana slugs. they'd strip off the slime with vinegar, roll them in batter, and fry them up.

yum!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_slugs

"The banana slug is a mollusk of the genus Ariolimax. Banana slugs are the second-largest species of slug in the world, growing up to 25cm (9.8 inches) long. Their bodies is usually bright yellow (somewhat resembling a banana); however, the may also be green, brown, or white."

Dont strip off the slime, thats the best part! Just add just a pinch of brown sugar and man, you've got some good eating there.
