No, we have all kinds of invasive species here in Florida. People bring this stuff in and it gets away from them......................

Don't let the kids play with them or you'll get arrested for Child Mollusktation.

Try explaining THAT one to your cellmate Bubba.

When humans were larval and hunger was severe.....the barriers were lower, I guess.

“...the barriers were lower...”

True that... but I’m thinking that I’ve never been hungry enough to look at the slime trail behind a slug and think “Hmmm... well looky THEAH!! Mmmm-MMM!”

I’ve eaten some strange stuff in my lifetime... but I can tell you I’ve never had snails. Tried the raw clam thing and well, let’s just say “fire hose spew” doesn’t do justice to what happened...

I’d imagine those big bastards could get up some speed, man... they elongate, cover some ground, and suddenly, they’re ON you.

Sort of like “The Blob”... (great old movie!)

Haha!! “Mosey”... great word.

Living life at “mosey” speed. What a nice concept. I could do that.

The years have gone by too fast already. Mosey would be good about now.

Salt works very well and is cheap. Crystal Drano works even better.
