It was one of those chain of event type things

Our Man Cave. Read more about it here

Earlier I was in the Man Cave fixing a technical issue and I noticed the screen had some schmutz on it. I go over to wipe it off and it doesn't go anywhere. So I flick at it with my finger thinking it's going to go flying across the room.

It doesn't, though, because it's a slug. Why is there a slug on our big screen? I have no idea, and yet here we are. Instead it smushes itself onto my finger and I'm left with a fingertip full of slug guts.

Ew.

I squeal "EWWW!" because I have slug carcass on my fingertip and I shake my hand to get it off. Because.... ew.

Instead of falling nicely onto the floor, though, it flies into the air and lands... in my hair.

EWWWWWWWW.

I freaked out; shaking my head all over the place to get it out and I didn't even end up seeing where it went because it's dark in there.

I went to the bathroom to make sure it was gone, and it was..... but I can still feel it in there.

Crawling through my hair.

Burrowing into my brain.

Yes, a smushed slug can do that.

Ew.

Put salt on your hair. Then the slug will just dissolve into a gooey mess and you can wash it out without the worry of it burrowing into your brain. Although, I would have just gone and taken a shower. I don't think slugs are ambitious enough to do any brain burrowing.

Yes, but you NEVER KNOW
I'm right there with you.. ewwww

Now I have to ask how in the hell did you get a slug in the house?

It's actually a renovated garage. Weeds grow out of the cracks, too.
LOL! A slug with ambition! I think I dated a guy like that once....

I'm trying to imagine the slug's journey, from somewhere outside, to inside your house, to the man cave, and somehow, to the screen. I suspect foul play.

I love your tagline: Sometimes I say the stupid things that I think. It sorta applies to me.

Except change Sometimes to Usually.

Ex: After I sign off, I will ponder your housekeeping skills and perhaps judge you.

Yes, and you should judge me, because my housekeeping skills suck
OMG, slugs were the main reason i left Northern California. And smelly hippies. Hopefully you don't have any of those on your screen either.. DEFINITELY wanna keep them out of your hair.

*shudder thinking about slugs* get the salt! and ALOT of paper towels!

Slugs AND smelly hippies? Wow. We've got both of those here at my house.
How frickin' bizarre! Ewww indeed!
Watch out - the revenge of the slugs will come to get you.

There's been a slug in your brain? That explains everything.

I was the only adult in the house at the time is why!
Did it make it to your ear?? Cause that reminds me of a Next Gen. episode where this parasite/slug/thing infects people thru the ear.....ewwww!

Blaming the alcoholism wasn't working?
We won't even get into why a slug would prefer the cool, dark, damp, dank nature of the man cave to the underside of a garden stone, but if you really want to get sluggy, just put salt all over everything. Much mush shall ensue...

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. My only experience with slugs is when my husband poured salt on one stuck to our sliding glass door and I cried as it melted away. I dunno. It seemed like a cruel fate. But, running over ducks is fine, apparently...

You still have some slug guts on you. It's right there. No. A little to the left. Yeah. That's it. You got it now. Oh, wait.

I'm SO not ok with slugs in the hair. Your reaction was graceful when I imagine what mine would have been. And 5 showers later, I'd still feel like I had slug in my hair. Yuck!

Honestly, I would have passed out. Then who knows what would have happened with the slug. I don't do animals. ANY animals.

NOOOO!!! Not a slug in the Jewfro! Isn't that sacrilege of some type? Do I need to hunt down a scapegoat for purification, because I totally will! I'm THAT kind of friend. We must protect the hair at all costs!

It is a powerful tool.

Do NOT underestimate the hair, y'all. Not even kidding. Great artists have been inspired by it. Just ask The Animated Woman!

Eeww!! Slug guts in all that curly hair. Sorry to hear it. Were you flapping your hands, that's what I would be doing, and the family would be laughing at me.

I was totally flapping, yes. Just like Child 1 !!!
*Faints*. 90% chance I'd freak out so bad, I'd accidentally knock the TV off the wall & everything.
Super lazy slug to be hangin' around inside watching all the TV.
Ew

O.K. first of all, you need mom lighting in the man cave. They can keep it as dark as they want but when it's time to clean or slug removal, the lights have to come on full blast. My wife is constantly trying to mood light, and I am constantly trying to sun light...... I let her win until I need to clean the house.
UUgghh! You made me shiver and shake out my own hair. bleh! yuck! I'm still shivering.
