Then I brought a female cousin outside and told her to try it. After it shriveled up, she put it on a leaf and dropped it into a bucket of water, hoping for a magical recovery. I think it drowned.

Never salted a slug (they're salty aready, they taste better with mayo, anyway), BUT...... The homestead back in 'joisey had a stone wall which subbed as a slug condo. We had to figure out a solution to this pest problem as the dog was getting neurotic from have the slugs crawl on him at night (just think about that! curls your toes, don't it?). Also the slime was a b*tch to get off of him. Well, being simple folk, we found that a 2x4 worked rather satisfactorily. Problem was, we could stay up all hours wait for our pals to slide on by. So, I read somewhere about slugs liking beer. So the next night we left a pan of beer out, away from the dog (he'd drink it). Next morning, Lo and Behold!, a pan full of dead, drunk slugs. It was SO disgusting looking, we took the dog into the basement at night and let the buggers have the backyard. Slugs are a curse from god because of some past transgression of mankind. Only he could have the power and wisdom to create some creature so grotesque as to gross out whole species of life on this planet. (Altho. man has tried to simulate this behavior, e.g. Boy George, Cyndi Lauper, Divine,.....) Aren't you glad you asked? Aren't you hunger? "Now eat all your food junior, or you'll be reborn as a slug and someone will come along and pound you with a 2x4....." -- =============================================================================== Joe Szep Boston University Academic Computing Center UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!jts ARPA: jts%bu-cs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa Pony Express: 111 Cummington St. Boston, Ma. 02215 617-353-2780 ===============================================================================

They are quite disgusting that way. I find that they are much better with pepper and a dash of oregano. Salt is better for year old whipped cream. --Evan Marcus -- {ucbvax|decvax}!vax135!petsd!petfe!evan ...!pedsgd!pedsga!evan What do you want? Wicker?
