Default snails

Puts me in mind of the Fred LeBeouf (Too Slim) song "The Salting of
the Slug"
(Though I may have misremembered the name of the town)

When first I came to Shively
My fortune there to find
I met some jolly countrymen
On barbeque we dined
The talk soon turned to manly sport
While the old style we chugged
And they said, "Lad ya haddena lived
Till you had salt the slug".

We rais-ed high our shakers full
Of Mortons finest grain
I crept out to the garden damp
There to begin the game
We watched each creature swell and pop
Did thrill me to the core
And every slug did learn that night
That when it rains it pours.

So if you're e'er in Shively
Quaffin' chilly brew
And hearty lads and lassies fair
Do salt a slug or two
Pray, join the sport and company
Forsaking sex or drugs
God bless us jolly salters and
Take pity on the slug.
