SLUUUUUUUUG!!! (A thread for all things slug - snails can GTFO)

[DaveCinzano]

Hey big fella! How ya doing?



Wait, what's that...



...on the side of your...



...oh sweet jeebus, oh fuck oh

 

[Yossarian]

Snail caviar is apparently a delicacy, not sure about the slug version.

The mothership has landed ready to disgorge the invasion force.

What's that purple stuff - has it vomited it's insides? The white things might be parasitical and slowly killing the poor beast.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

slugs have always struck me as a flaw in creation / intelligent design / evolution or whatever the heck it is

if slugs were to eat weeds in the garden, then everyone would be happy...

There is no such thing as a weed.

Tapioca anyone?

The aperture on it's side is an opening into the slug's soul DaveCinzano - they don't have traditional eyes after all.

It's a worm it's been devouring over the past half hour

Where's the salt gone?

I have definitely never nosuchthinged my pants once or twice

...oh sweet jeebus, oh fuck oh

wtf is it?

I'll go back to have a look see when I've finished my lunch

 

[Chilli.s]

accidentally trod on one this morning, luckily all slippered up so no squishy slug on foot

 

[farmerbarleymow]

wtf is it?

A slug?

 

[DaveCinzano]

It's the throbbing, pulsating neck that's got me squirming the most

Apparently that hole is a pneumostome, leading to a lung-like organ

A slug?

The hole bit, what is that?!

Edit: ah, a lung hole.

They remind me of hovercraft.

In the unlikely event I ever start a stoner-rock band I will definitely call it Slug Bong.

 

[klang]

you are welcome

 

[DaveCinzano]

Man that worm got FUCKED UP!

It's National Poetry Day, so:

Slug

Don’t you fancy me in my black
figure-hugging bodystocking
skin?

Watch me arch my agile back,
show my underside’s pale line –
like an inky, questing tongue.

Do I disgust you?
I am not the only libido
to ooze from this dark earth.

Haven’t we met somewhere
before? What are you doing here
on this rainy afternoon, alone?

My tapering finger is beckoning
you to your likeness.
Come on.

Apparently it's a good substitute for those with shellfish allergies

We had a long slug in our garden recently but my mum killed it before I could get a better picture showing scale.

IT'S ATTACKING!!!
