For the past few days I've been noticing a sort of...bubbling sound around my desk. About fifteen minutes ago it dawned on me that it might be eminating from one of those cans. To test the theory, I placed my hand on the top can of the three-can tower and gave it a vigorous side-to-side shake. The...gurgling sound got a bit louder, signaling to me that there was something in one of those cans causing it.
Rather alarmed at this revelation, I took the three cans - still in tower formation - onto my porch to dump out, but then I think better of it and go out a bit into the woods. By the light of the small porchlight that I can't turn off, I dumped out the first can (pepsi one). Some aquatic mold, nothing else. No big deal.
I dump out the second can (Mountain Thunder...generic dew) It's a little thick, kinda weird, smelled awful.
I dump out the third, bottom, and final can (generic cola) and...
I still don't know what it was.
It was a white, quivering gelatinous mass that I took for some kind of slime mold, but as I dumped it started to MOVE. Laying on the pine needles it quivered like some kind of amoeba. It was so gross that I actually vomited directly onto it.
Horrified I ran inside for a weapon. Unsure of whether it was a fungus or... or WHAT it was I got both a cup of bleach and a can of raid.
Running back outside I found it half buried in pine needles...it was trying to hide or burrow or something!! I dumped my arsenal on it and it seemed to dissolve...or I don't know, but it was dead enough to satisfy me.
So, yeah, man was that shit weird! Maradon! fucked around with this message on 08-23-2005 at 05:32 AM.

Leaving three half-full cans of pop on your desk stacked in a tower configuration is something all of us have done a time or two, right?

I thought slime molds did move? something about them being a Conglomeration of single cellls rather than one orginsiam.

It's not something people hear about.

But it's no big deal, it just becomes part of the stomach wall. Whatever color the gum is will affect the hue of your stomach.
Of course, such subtle changes are often overshadowed by Pepto Bismol, which is why most stomachs are pink.
