Why did God make slugs?

[Sillyman]

It's been a question for me since I was a little kid. I hate slugs and always have. Actually the little snot balls terrify me more than anything else you can think of. Any thoughts here?

What little disgusting critter do you hate?

Do you think there are any cosmological truths inherent in it's existence?

So U.C. Santa Cruz would have a mascot.

duh.

How can you hate slugs? They're harmless.

So pathetic when they end up on the side walk after a rain. I just have to go around putting them all back in the grass. Or is that worms?

Slugs are pretty damn nasty... especially since I almost never wear shoes. Unlike mud, they squish between your toes in a really not amusing kind of way.

They don't scare me though. June bugs scare me... make me curl up my toes and get all tense. I scream when they land on me, I can't help it. The one bug type critter that makes me act like a girlie girl.

Earthworms I like actually. They help strengthen the soil and decomposing matter.

Slugs are destrutive and destroy plant. They are a bitch when gardening, icky to step on, and I have childhood trauma associated with them. They would crawl into the house and I would find them at odd moments. On the walls. Under my bed. By the phone. In the silverware.

I had to pick are you on crack? Because it's plain to see that the only reason God created slugs, was so we could pour salt on them, and watch them disintegrate.

Lol damn, you stole my answer. I really have to be quicker here at Lit if I'm going to make people think I'm funny.

I'm scared of too many damn things to list. Cockroaches are one of my top ones, though -- fucking disgusting creatures that should have died off but didn't!

I'm a little more vitriolic. I've gone at the slimy snots with lit cigarettes, axes, sledgehammers, and of course good old salt.

I see what happens when you fire a shotgun at one if I owned a shotgun.

One of the first natural wonders I witnessed here in SC are the FOOT LONG slugs - they are black, and I swear, a FOOT LONG.

The real answer is not on your list - they are here to leave silver trails of slime so that the little fairies can find their way home in the morning.

I should have included that. That's a wonderful answer.

Now I will be having nightmares about foot long black slugs, with the added bonus of my mind: Human eyes on the stalks. Thank you.

LOL! I was just in SF Chinatown on Friday, and there were boxes of live frogs in the fish markets - there was a Stephen King story about frogs with teeth dropping from the sky to kill people. THESE WERE THOSE FROGS!

Why do people eat frogs? I just don't understand why people are looking to frogs for food ($2.99/lb) where there's plenty of chicken to be had.

People get jaded easily. They want to continually try new things.

Supposedly some french nobleman a long time ago got so jaded he would only it the finest rare birds. After that he got so jaded he could only stand the most delicately seasoned blue jay tongues. After that, he pretty much starved.

Man , I had forgot all about doing shit like that........................

Earthworms I like actually.

Baked with garlic butter they're great.

The idea of eating an earthworm doesn't disturb me some much as thinking of all the dirt inside the little bastards.

Of course, I have actually eaten snails and found them delicious. I hear slugs taste awful though.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Slugs are part of the decomposition process.
