sex can be beautiful

Sex can be beautiful--but not this time. Sorry. We're talking about slug-love here today and it's not a pretty sight, unless maybe you're another slug.

The two parties are aware of each other here and slowly look around. They're slugs so it's a VERY slow look, y'know?


Oh, ho! There's some interest going on. The little horns are coming out and you know what that means. Two horny slugs. And they're on the prowl!


Up above only one was showing active interest with the "nose" in the others butt, but here we see the interest is mutual and now there's two slugs with butt-noses. Ain't love grand?


Eeeeek! I went inside for 20 minutes and when I came out the foreplay must have finished. Look what's going on now with those two love-invertebrates! They're slimed together and in quite a clinch. I guess slugs aren't slow at everything--no doubt female slugs blame male slugs for the speedy performance and lack of foreplay.


Now they've thrown caution to the wind and are actually dangling slightly in the air. Talk about trying to join the slug version of the mile high club... and check out how athletic they're being. Some serious slug sex going on there.


They seem to have calmed down a little but now they're nearly 10 inches below the deck railing they started out on. That slug slime has some serious support capabilities, people. Who knew slugs could be such swingers?!


Well, that was our love story for this week. Have a lovely Sunday and try to bring a little bit of slugginess into your own life!

Something tells me that humans could learn from slugs insofar as how they get, um, laid.

Freaky stuff...and strangely compelling to watch!

Someone of your scientific nature should investigate this slime. It could be refined and used for a liquid suture or bandage or help burn patients cover areas of lost skin to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

OK, I have reached my quota of big science words for this evening and now have a headache.

Also, I'm not really fond of slugs but they are better than spiders, snakes and undigested stomach contents....don't ask!

Yes, I agree with Carmi, oddly compelling. I do like a man with a "slow hand" and maybe this is the way to learn.....LOL

HAHAHA This is hilarious. And whenever I need glue, maybe I should just look for lusty slugs instead.

Fabulous. I've seen it in video but the clips are better, especially with your narration. Hermaphrodite athletes lovemaking rules!

Heh...I'm sorry, this one had me laughing!!! Great shots.

I wonder if slugs smoke a cig after great sex? Something to think about anyway.

I just left this message for you at Michele's:


I had to come back and tell Utenzi not to complain. I worked for 8 hours on my feet yesterday, shopped for 4 hours today, and I am a lot older than he is!

Ok, I'm definitely coming back here. Not only do you leave great blog comments, but you take wildlife photography that could be in National Geographic. Wow! To think, I didn't even know slugs actually had sex. I think I assumed they laid eggs or something . . .ah yes, my extreme ignorance is showing.

I squished two japanese beatles with my bare hands going at it on a dahlia flower and said "The honeymoon is over!" Aren't I mean?

I hate slugs. But this was actually really interesting. Who knew that slug porn on a Sunday night would be so much fun?

Here from Michele's.

I came over to leave a smartypant comment about your penchant for angelina jolie lips, but I've gotten sidetracked by your slug-love. I feel dirty after reading that post. Also the first two pics oddly remind me of what my lips looked like. I feel dirty AND traumatized. ;)

My, that was rather, well, I'm basically speechless. I have never thought about slug love before, but I guess that love is everywhere. Thanks for that interesting perspective.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
