Thursday's Ways Not To Die

.

Seriously. This one gets kinda nasty.
You've been warned.


The drunk slutty lady is making a salad for her husband after rolling off the couch in a drunken stupor two minutes ahead of him getting home. Mmm-mmm, a dinner made with love! And, well, slugs. A dinner made with slugs. And mutant murderous slugs at that!


I suppose we can give her the benefit of not noticing the sliced-slug weeping gore in her lettuce as she fixes the salad since she's been drinking and passed out all day. But just this once!


The husband (at left) isn't feeling too well. What with the killer mutant slug salad making a muck of his belly. But he's gotta earn the cash for all the booze that his wife passes out on during her afternoon story-programs, so he goes to his lunch-meeting anyway.

Mistake
. Not as big a mistake as eating the salad filled with slug-guts, but he could've kept what's about to happen at home, where it belongs. Won't somebody think of the wait-staff?

Anyway... bottoms up...


I hear ya, lady.

"I didn't order a Bloody Mary! Waitress!"

Do you think that waitress quit her job after this? I think she probably did. And hopefully she was consoled by that hunky fella right in front of her there. Hi there, hunky fella. Hubba hubba! Oh wait, where was I? Oh, yeah, the-guy-who-ate-the-slug-salad's FACE IS BUSY EXPLODING WITH BABY SLUGS, that's right.


That's the best that actress could muster.
I just thought I would point that out.

Slugs (1988)

I know that I have mentioned this before, but Slugs is fucking awesome. And it was partially filmed in my hometown!


Trombinos, the restaurant seen above where this scene was filmed, is right around the corner from where my father lived when I was a teenager. So of course, this makes an already pretty awesome movie even awesomer through its personal connection to me. Like with everything personally connected to me. Me = Awesomer. Stick that in your slug-salad and smoke it!

I thought you grew up in Newark NY.
why would they film part
of the movie in Spain, and part of it
in a tiny hamlet in rural New york State?

I can't tell you why the makers of Slugs did a lot of things, including filming it in Spain and East Bumfucke, NY, but they did. It's weird that they list it as "Wayne, NY" on IMDb, I guess they're just mean Wayne County since II think they filmed all around the area a bit.

And that restaurant's actually in the town over from Newark, called Lyons, which is where my father lived.

I didn't get into all this in my post though because no one cares and I think you probably regret even bringing this up after reading all this, anonymous. ;-)

I'm a real fan of the site
I only brought it up because
I live in Rochester, and worked
in Newark NY for a while
so I know your hometown area

Mmmmm, "smoked slugs"...

So were these alcoholic slugs? Is that why they raced to his face to get every additional available drop of the drink? And did they hit the bar after cracking his face open?

Anyway, you summed it up nicely. That was indeed pretty fucking awesome. I'm adding this one to my zip list.
