Slimed!

Well, it seems that after an albeit too short ride up to Curly's neighborhood for a most delicious bbq'd pork sandwich earlier this summer I've contracted a rather infectious case of the slime (think it was when I accidentally took a drink of his soda). I was hoping that maybe somehow I had the antibodies necessary to ward off the invading microbes but no such luck. I knew I was a goner when after a recent low speed mishap my roadrash developed the most disgusting green oozing slime. I've decided to educate myself about my condition so I did a little research and have discovered that:

  1. "rubber gloves are handy when slugs are involved" I wonder if leather well suffice?
  2. "they spend hours mating" The wife will be glad to hear this as it will be somewhat of an improvement.
  3. "banana slugs have large male organs" Unfortunately after mating sometimes they chew if off to separate. Didn't tell the wife this one.
  4. "slime helps them retain water" The best news of all way fewer trips to the john between beers.
So I guess I'll just have to make the best of things. Cya, at slimefest in about 9 days.
