Found a really large banana slug a couple of weeks ago. Look at this thing!

Natives know non-natives by their fascination with the slugs.

Natives learn at their mothers' teats that slugs are dog poop that moves and eats your garden and should be regarded as such.

To a PNW native, "look at the size of this slug! " is audibly indistinguishable from "look at the size of this turd! "

...I still think it’s a nice slug.

You can tell the internet that. Just not the locals.
