You slug.

I couldn't care less for fish in a tank. On my plate - YES.

But who wants to watch DUMB fish going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Even when I get dragged kicking and screaming to a major aquarium, all I see fish sticks and McDonalds fish sandwiches.

Yeah, I ain't a gourmet.


So I saw a picture in a news story, and said WOW that is weird.

Well, I looked up sea slug, and boy was I amazed.

This beats the heck out of stupid fish!

But I'm not going to eat them - NO WAY.

Well, the ones above look prettier than lettuce.

But never worry. Slugs are mollusks so you do have a solution.

Oh. We do expect pictures. :D

The Garden Slug... Official Animal of the State of Oregon.

When I was just a wee lad, my cousin and I used to pour Morton's Salt on slugs, and watch them melt!

Of course, there aren't many slugs here in CO, so I grew out of that habit.

I'm not sure that Paul can have added salt with his Sunday slugs. :lol:

I just checked. He hasn't made his usual Sunday meal post. He might be preparing his slug escargot at this very moment. :D

I always knew there was something very strange about the State of Oregon.

An excess of Garden Slugs...

...and a serious deficit of Household Salt.

Paul.... :think: ...!

Any sort of disgusting animal - snakes, spiders, insects, raccoons, skunks, possums, alligators, snails, slugs - exists twice as much in Florida as anywhere else.

Terrestial slugs of Florida

Then we have those creepy things that live in the ocean ...
