It's an evicted snail.
And what's a snail?
It's a slug with a backpack.
That can't be right....you don't get evicted from a backpack...
A slug with a backpack = a backpacker?
Speaking of critters...it's snake season over here....
Lo and behold...a brownie managed to get into a house via a cat flap.....
For the uninitiated...a 'brownie' is the world's second most deadly snake...
Used to have fun with rattlesnakes and black widow spiders in the Mojave Desert in California! You sometimes wake up in the morning and there they are!
Something that gives you a Black Eye.
So What's a Slug ?
What they dig out of your flesh after a gunfight.
A slug that's into "Fashion".
Also, what you don't want to get caught using in a coin-operated vending machine.
Good point. But don't forget about the Slot Machine. They don't like the use of Slugs in them.
Um! A home is where you keep all yer stuff... and yer can get evicted'
Similarly, a backpack is where you keep all yer stuff.... and it can be stolen, which if you're a homeowner it pretty much amounts to the same thing.
Yeah, I worry about our dogs going outside, and at this time of year with brownies and other snakes about I rather they didn't... but they have to pee somewhere, right! My dog, Buddy, is the alpha male and even bosses his father [Steve's dog] about. But the biggest worry is that he thinks he's the great black hunter - being he's black - and goes after geckos, lizards, moths and huntsmen spiders, etc. It just worries me that he might spot a brownie in the yard and go after it like he does other critters.
As for the brownie being the world's second most deadly snake, many think it is number one. Whereas the Taipan is more venomous, it is more reclusive and tends to shy away from people more... thus less bites. However, the Eastern brown, which is more prevalent and more aggressive, is more prone to bite, often several times when disturbed, and therefore considered Australia's most deadly snake dues to its greater numbers and proximity to built-up, populated areas.
And snails are more likely to shoplift than slugs... cos they got somewhere to stash the proceeds
So Mrs snail bursts into the room at the knock shop and catches her husband humping a female slug. She berates him heavily and then he asks: "How on earth did you ever find me?
"Easy, I followed the snail trail."
It was a few days until the big race but the snail still wanted to race. All of the numbers were taken so an "S" was painted on its car. The snail didn't do to well, it kept getting lapped. As the race was winding down the snail started to pick up its pace and started lapping cars.
The crowd stood up as one and shouted "Look at that "S" car go!"

Statistics say that the Belcher’s Sea Snake is the most venomous snake known in the world, only a few milligrams of its venom is strong enough to kill 1000 people! However, less than 1/4 of bites will contain venom, and they are relatively docile. Fisherman are usually the victims of these snakes, as they encounter the species when they pull nets from the ocean. They are found throughout waters off South East Asia and Northern Australia. But you can keep them over there.
What about the sloppiest poisonous predator. A Komodo dragon drips bacteria laden saliva from it's mouth. All it needs do is bite once then chill while the bacteria slowly kills the prey. Found in Indonesia its the largest lizard weighing in at approximately 150 pounds and nearly ten feet long in some cases. This sucker can take down a water buffalo with one bite.
Yes, you are quite correct. In fact there are several sea snakes with venom more toxic than a Taipan or an Eastern Brown. Jafo and I should have stipulated 'land' snakes when speaking of the deadliest.
Yup, the Comodo Dragon is often forgetten as a one of the most deadly predators. I saw a documentary on them a few years ago and was mighty glad that I was in my living room many miles removed from them. Apparently, while they often seem quite slow and sluggish [pun intended] the Comodo Dragon can pretty much outrun most track athletes over varying distances when hungry or angry or both.
Thing about the Inland Taipan is that it doesn't need to bite to release the venom....it's free-flowing....so just a scratch will do.
Thing is, encounters between humans and Taipans are not that common, so bites/ being envenomed are somewhat rare... well compared to a brownie, that is. I've seen both in the wild, and to be honest, they don't look much different from each other.
A slug, a tortoise and a hare have a race.
The slug comes in dead last, as is to be expected
However, he is awarded 1st prize.
He was the only one who could prove he didn't take any shortcuts
The race was fixed. The tortoise was detoured by a beach and you know what they say about hares...when they get together they act like a couple of deranged rabbits. The hare couldn't resist some hopping bebop.
nothing without a little garlic and butter and chopped parsley....

And there's nothing worse than having eaten half your burger to find half a slug in the lettuce.
Half a slug?
In the lettuce?
After half the burger eaten?
Did the other half of the slug go with it down nice and smooth?
Eating slugs??? Or snails, or oysters, or squid .... BARF!!!!!
