"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Barak Obama goes to a costume party with his wife riding piggyback.
The hostess asks, "What are you supposed to be?" and he replies, "A snail"
"Well, what about her?" asked the hostess and Barry answered,
"That's Michelle."

NDIS made the funding cut because they’re running out of other people’s money, in all likelihood.

It’s a problem in Hawaii, the slugs are so small that you can’t see them and they hide in salads.

Horrible story
A toddler died from the same parasite in a nearby area around the same time, and another was hospitalized

The utter level of global human idiocy really makes me consider why God and gods have often sought to wipe virtually all of humanity to start over...../s

Sad, this guy made bad decision, even
on a bet. But in answer to your question,
slugs should be cooked where the internal
temperature is held at 160 deg for a
minimum of 30 minutes. The next question
one would ask, is where to insert the
thermometer. (a friend relayed this
information).

I tried escargot once. It is like eating expensive buttered pencil erasers.

Some of you here might not be so glib with your quips if you actually saw the before and after pic of this young lad!

He was a cutie......now he’s all but gone.
Vegetative, paralyzed

Haven’t we all done stupid things in our misspent youth.
