Worm-nosed Snail-eaters
FOUND by WNSE in Springfield
I found this note folded and sealed with tape on the stairs at school. The halls were empty, so I think it must have been dropped before she received it. Since I'm a worm-nosed snail-eater I opened it.

I love snails, but I would never eat them.

I'm disappointed..."Magnify" shows only a tiny fragment of the inside. I must be a worm-nosed snail-eater...though Wombles don't eat snails.

Is that boogers on the outside? Personally I wouldn't have touched it. Let alone put it in my tidybag and sent it to Found.

I guess that makes all of us escargot consumers then.

Pass the garlic butter please. Lots of it.

So now we're all worm-nosed snail eaters because of our complicity. Hell, yes.

With just a bit of imagination this could be a description of the French to stand alongside "cheese-eating surrender monkeys".

thanks.

Oh yeah? Well, you suck at folding notes, who uses tape? Anybody with any kind of note passing skills would fold that thing into a heart or an arrow or a rectangle thing with the tab sticking out.

me in mine: it depends on the worm. Earth worms and tape worms have different noses. It would have been helpful to know which kind of worm she was referring to.

Official Notice:

The Worm-nosed Snail is on the "World Endangered Species List" as a species of concern. Eating it should be discouraged. If reading today's Find will turn you into such an eater, please do not read today's Find.

Thank you.

At first I thought the Finder's initials might stand for West North South East.. then I realized it's worm-nosed snail eater.

I'm not sure it matters what worm noses look like- I think a worm-nosed snail eater would have a nose resembling a worm. No?

Snails really aren't anything to mess with. The USDA showed up at my house a few years back because I was keeping an illegal and invasive (unbeknown to me) species as a pet.

Giant African Land Snails, Lauren?

I think Leslie's friend is confusing "creepy" with "flirting." Boys that age usually are creepy when trying to flirt, aren't they?

Thats so funny cause I can picture this kid riding up behind this girl all like "hell yeah" it probably scared her more than creeped her out. Girls are like that though acting all disgusted when they know they love the attention.

(*looking in mirror*) Never noticed how worm-like my nose is.... hmmmmm....

So Lauren - lemme guess! After USDA visit, you *immediately* grew a worm-nose and had a feast!! (and you forgot to invite all us other worm-nosers... tch tch!)

Yes, it was Giant African Land Snails. They confiscated all 150 or so of them (the daddy, Moltar, and all his babies). The told me if I had let any of them loose, I would be considered a bio-terrorist. I miss them, though.

Wow Lauren -- I'm impressed! So, what kind of pet did you replace them with?

It sounds to me like Leslie's friend has a crush on "he was like 'Hell ya!' " guy. He at least seems to fancy her. Awww.

Clover in the Lawn with the worms and snails
I hate to think of my friends the worms eating my friends the snails. Why can't everyone just get along?

I betcha both Leslie and her friend enjoyed the creepy attentions of the kid on the bike. Yep, girls are like that. And boys are like that. They do weird things to get each others' attention. How would it be if adults acted like that? Nice lady working at desk in cubicle, man comes by and whacks her with his briefcase. Dignified man in suit by the water cooler, lady comes by and grabs the pen out of his pocket, laughing as she runs away. So annoying, yet so charming!
