It’s that time of year again, when the Society for the Legiti-
mization of the Ubiquitous Gastropod convenes to crown its
new slimy leader. On Aug. 8, the SLUG Queen Competition
and Coronation oozes once more. Old Queen Professor Doctor
Mildred Slugwak Dresselhaus will step down, and a new SLUG
Queen will take her place, decided by Old Queens and celebrity
judges Laura Lee Laroux and Sean Cuellar. According to the
offi cial website of the SLUG Queen competition, “SLUG Queens
