I just trod on a slug... ugh...

in my KITCHEN (?!?) ... bleh...

with a bare foot!!!!!!!!!

*SHUDDER*

*feels sick*

Yummy. 8|

Didn't make much of a mess did it?

Oh dear! Ugh indeed. I'm shuddering just thinking about it...

Fortunately is was the arch of my foot and I realised I'd stepped on something before I squashed it... but it stuck to my foot, I had to shake it off....

*feeling so ill*

UGH!

I also want to know how on EARTH it got into my KITCHEN?!?!?!?!?!!!!????

Hopefully he was alone - and none of his friends are in your kitchen too Sarah!

Was it after your salad? (Maybe it's getting too cold for it outside! Aah!)

noodle: don't!

CD: I'm trying to feel sympathetic to the slimey creature... it isn't working....

Yurrrrrggggghhhhhhhh.

I can do ticklish any time - spiders etc.

Slimy makes me curl up. Can't stand it.

Loads of sympathy, Sarah.

I must admit as a part-time gardener I've become fascinated by the different types of slugs - the ones I really don't like are the orange ones, but I've found some really pretty ones with a spotted saddle and a stripes along their back, and some more greeny-coloured ones with brown squiggley patterns in my garden. Apparently they don't tend to eat garden plants but are more likely to feed off decaying leaves and stuff. (What colour was the one in your kitchen?!)

sorry i couldnt stop! you s-f have made my night

Gee thanks, GCBS, I'm so...... glad...............



CD: kind of brown? Sorry, I didn't look that closely....

Well you couldn't, could you? You had just squished it

*ahem* *shuffle* *embarassed cough* sorry.

*glare*

*laughs*

I *didn't* squish it. Fortunately. Bleh. Well, only a little...

You only squished it a little? Well, that's ok then.

You squished it "a little"? I'm sure the slug is so relieved

Look on the bright side, at least you didn't squish it completely, therefore you didn't have to retrieve the rest of it from the other side of the kitchen!

yyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ever go out into the garden at night and step on a snail? They make a horrible crunch-squelch sound

My nan pours salt on them.

I wouinder what went through its mind in the last moments?

I hope you didnt slid across the floor...

Sorry ........ Urg ...

Hope your feeling a little better!

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh Helen!

I didn't inspect it that closely. I didn't stamp my foot on it or anything... fortunately was just lowering it down. It stuck. Ugh, now I feel queasy again...

I didn't do it on purpose!

I actually always feel guilty when I step on snails... but would much rather do it in shoes than bare feet either way.......

You're welcome!!

It stuck to your foot? Maybe it fancied a lift. I wonder how it stayed... maybe it went *schlooop* onto your foot?

my mate once sprayed deoderant on a snail in my driveway - it froze on the spot and iced up until it disappeared a few months later!!:D:D

you're welcome

ughrrr! What have you done with it(s remains), like, did all the juice come out?

But...don't the French eat them or something? (I'm unsure but do they cook them first...?) Have you a French escargot recipe book?

Some slugs are quite cute

But eww all the same!

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Sarah. I would have had exactly the same reaction. Slugs turn my stomach too.

Nicki...I love the expression on that slug's face

How pretty!

(just adding a line or two

so that the above picture - hopefully - isn't the first thing you see ...

WS: Bleurgh!!!!!!!!!!


Fortunately I didn't actually squish it but it was jolly unpleasant. If I had, I might have been sick...

There's something just horrible about them... cute I'm afraid I just don't see!

Thanks to whoever removed the picture - I didn't see it but quite glad about that!

Nicki, this cartoon is hilarious! You must add it to the drawings thread! You have a talent for these great cartoons I think

With the look of the colour of that descending foot, I think Sarah just had a Lush bath

Actually, by the looks of it, cue the Liberty Bell march .

I'm already feeling sick



That is hilarious!

OK, I give in and admit ignorance. I'm sure I'm being a bit thick, but WHY???!

Monty Python....how long is it since you had a telly Sarah???

Monty Python's Flying Circus - at the end of the opening credits, a large foot comes down, accompanied by a whoopee-cushion style squishing noise.

Oh thanks guys - now I'm with you!!

It's been an awfully long while since I saw any Monty Python!

and yes, definitely then

Sorry

We are allowed to talk about spiders though aren't we? I felt this tickling on my chest one day last week and when I looked inside my t-shirt I saw it was a spider. I've never stripped so quickly in all my life! The worst thing was that it must have been there for my half-hour piano practise just before that!

Sarah give my regards to the original slug and it's 'half-brother'.

The fact that is stayed says something for your playing

My performances are usually quite moving - every living thing 'moves' out of the house when I play.

I think this topic wins the platimun cafe award for most "eeeeuuuuuuggghh!!!!!!!!!!" topic on the forum. - a new category i invented - and would not like to see added to!! lol

Thanks Boo...

One summer, we had a former student and now honorary daughter staying with us. Kathy was practising, amongst other things, Liszt's Le jeaux d'eaux a la Villa Deste, a piece she played beautifully. Our big ginger tome, Squeak, adored Kathy and spend all her practise time in the music room with her.

After Kathy went back to college, I decided to learn it. Squeak was in his customary position when I sat down to read the formidably difficult first page. After a couple of bars, Squeak stood up, bellowed miaooowwwww in a very loud voice and stalked from the room.

That was telling me

Steve

cook-book, was it?

; )

Ate like one
