I can't let a straight line pass, either. It's a disease. I deserve your compassion.

Very good. I'm glad this is settled. Vanity is not my vice! I've got plenty of others...
You didn't say you like me again. Okay sister, all bets are off.
You didn't say you like me again.That's because she doesn't. You should see what she has been blogging about you.
Hee-hee.
I like you, of course, Doni. You obstreperous cow.

Oh stop. I don't know which way to look.
Damn. Knew i shouldn't have said anything. Is this the Hater's Club? What the hell is this love-fest?
Yes, Tom, I was. Be nice to me.Then eat me.

Montambo wrote: "Okay, I changed my avatar and "about me" for Doni and Tom. Take that!!!"Just noticed this. Your "about me" -- is this necessary to state? -- is awful.
Not that I care, in the end. French kiss the little suckers for all it matters to me.
Kasia wrote: "Just don't play with your food."Translation:
Doni, you wrote: "Then eat me." That makes you the food, right? And Tom would be the one doing the eating. Straightforward up to now.
Well, even though you're asking Tom to be nice, I wouldn't trust him to oblige you. Thus I've made the assumption - Tom is not gonna play nice. And the not-so-nice children have little respect (sorry Tom for some reason you've suddenly become a child for the sake of reasoning). They - bad children - tend to play with their food instead of eating it. And that's like a torture to the food.
[Please bear with me, I'm gonna go into another analogy...:]
Take for example a cat (Tom) with a mouse (Doni) - before he eats it, he might pounce on it, slap it around a little, nibble but let it live.... That's what cats do, that's their nature, but it's cruel. Hence the reminder - "don't play with food."
I don't understand why you didn't get that.
(hint: auto-irony)

DAMMIT, woman! Snails may be essential to the ecosystem, and not lacking in a certain aesthetic, but for Christ's sake, they are slow-moving, cold, and SLIMY! I lived on a ranch, stepped barefoot in cow pies, got wood ticks in my HEAD, leeches on my LEGS, bat shit in my HAIR, and dead mice in my drinking water. So I like to think I know a little about the boundaries that should exist between us and Mother Nature.
You know, this makes me think of a house down the road from where I currently live in verdant south Jersey, where the featured "lawn decoration" is a full-size OUTHOUSE. Yeah, an outhouse -- half-moon cutout on the door and everything. It's revolting to anyone with any EXPERIENCE with an actual outhouse -- your first thought is, "Oh God, that smell... at their front door??"
Only people who have not lived cheek-to-jowl with the earth want to cozy up to her in all situations. The rest of us know better, and keep our distance. As God is my witness, I will NOT engage in or acknowledge any further discussion of snail/human interface from this moment forward.
Think upon your error of thought, Tambolinia, and vow to do better.

(Which you have to appreciate as, at least, a baseline in a world where people don't get you. Take it from one who knows all too well.)
Tamboliccia, I meant every word I said.
Doni, there's a method to this madness, but intelligent? I wouldn't go that far.Carry on with the snails.
Doni, I feel sorry for you that the beauty of snails doesn't make you feel peace and joy. Poor Doni.
I was a bug-loving, bee-catching, snake-holding kid, myself, but it never bothered me (rather, living in the suburbs, I had to actively seek them out). I'm honestly quite surprised that you're so wimpy about the whole thing. The scars from my childhood come from regrets of treating others badly and/or times when scary adults disciplined me. Not from falling off my cousin's four-wheeler into a giant pile of cow crap. That was the good stuff!
Now, my best friend Marie is a slug and snail-hater, but she lets me be. You seem to be trying to change my mind about my love of mollusks, but you're wasting your metaphorical breath.

Ooh. Okay, I have to admit -- beautiful.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Give me a little time here. I know there's a flaw.
You just inspired me to go buy that lamp! I'm leaving right this minute!!!!!!!!!
No flaw, Doni. None whatsoever. Just get me a few more of those, some lemon and the dinner's ready. YUM. Far more nutritious than all that cereal.
Golly, yes, they ARE delicious, no argument there....But NO! There is a flaw! Just let me... wait... no, seriously....
Serv, couldn't you step in here? A comment about killing living things? Just until I collect my thoughts.

I think you both have excellent points.1) snails/slugs are beautiful and really DO instill a sense of peace and joy. My mom has an outdoor shower in her backyard and one time while I was using it these two slugs crept out of one of the cracks. They were stretching up their little feelers as far as they would go to soak up the mist from the shower. It was lovely and is one of those visual images I know I'll have forever.
2) snails really DO taste yummy drenched in garlic butter.
Peace and joy. THAT'S why they appear on so many Christmas cards.
Oops, was that a further discussion of snail/human interface? No, it wasn't.
:::covers ears, eyes squeezed shut:::La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la....
Was that The Smurfs theme song? That's what I sing when I close my eyes and ears.
YAAAAH! The snail woman is back! She's holding a lamp!!! It's ghastly! My eyes, my eyes!
I know it. It's luminating the corner of my bedroom right now, looking beautiful.
Thanks for inspiring me to finally do it!

Yes! You complimented two snails today, Doni. We're going to be great friends.

I have to go to bed now. Wow. What a night THIS turned out to be....Nice interior design choice.
Sarah!! YAY! You got it! YAY snail lamp!I actually saw it in the store a couple weeks ago and it's even cuter in person.
I think this thread just made me throw up a little... that spurred me to throw up a lot.
Sarah you put some snail hex on me. I bought a little ceramic snail for the garden the other day for no good reason. I was at Harris Teeter and I just couldn't walk by it without taking it with me. It's so cute.
Yay! We made Nick puke!
Thanks, Bunny!
Oh good, Gretchen...I love spreading the snail gospel.
