Here's one for the ladies.

[Shmu]

Don't remember where exactly but in some village Africa or Asia they actually catch spiders fry them and eat them

Last time I was at my parents house, I saw a spider on the wall above the TV and my dad was like "Boy, get that spider. I gotta fly swatter in the kitchen you can use." I told him I won't need that and that I will just take care of it and put him outside. My dad was kind of surprised and was like "Don't mess around, just kill it and get it over with." I had to explain to him that I didn't see any reason to kill it when I can just as easily catch it and put it outside. So then he started making fun of me. "Well if you want to keep it we can put it in a jar and you can talk to him whenever you want to. Maybe you could even go outside and catch some bugs for him to to eat!"

Big jerk!

i read that and see your father as a beer-gutted man wearing overalls and nothing else, with thick, unkempt facial hair and a strong distrust of foreigners.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

my dad's the one who saves bugs, though.

when i was little, i'd see a spider or a cricket and freak out, my dad comes in, scoops it up in his hand and puts it outside. he'd usually pretend to eat them first, though.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

who cares? i say kill the lesser life forms.

 

[FretsAflame]

THAT'S THE ONE!!! I was in the desert when that shit happened...got emailed to all of us. Notice the old camo before they changed to the newer digitized one...that was about early 2004.

The video is brutal. We were literally more afraid of camel spiders than we were the mortars and rockets incoming every hour.

I worked the night shift, and going to the outside shitter in the middle of the night and having to kick those fuckers off the toilet seat wasn't fun. They like cool, damp environments.

Ayeee... I didn't even think about that. Having a ragged hole bitten in your sack while trying to shit would definitely suck.

Imagine the ladies.

Alex will put mice outside. neither of us would have the heart to kill it. I do make him kill the hairy spiders though.

Oh, and if Kevin's dad is like mine, everything even an old lady walking down the street must be some kind of Commie!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Not my old man. When he was around he'd kill rats. Beat one to death with the other end of a broom. Of course I felt terrible for it but I couldn't catch the damn thing to put it out.

When I was a wee lad, he'd walk out with a bloody plastic bag from dead rats killed my rat traps in the attic.

Big jerk!

except for when that mother fucker comes back into your house and bites you in your sleep!

 

[Ambivalent]

I just killed a brown recluse that was crawling along the corner of my wall.


Now taking suggestions for postmortem mutilation.

 

[Morganna]

I would faint!

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

*is all paranoid about spiders in her house now*

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

There was some statistic about how over the course of a humang's life time they will swallow many spiders in their sleep.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

it varies from two to eight, depending on who you hear it from

*shudders*

*tapes mouth shut before bed*


... well, now that i'm dead, i don't have to worry about eating anymore spiders!

 

[Ambivalent]

When I see a spider, afterwards I always think "Good thing I look at the ground at that exact second or I would've missed it." But then it gets me wondering, what about all the other places that I look at, and it's already too late without me even ever realizing it. :O

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

This thread reminds me that there was a spider on my wall last night and I thought about killing it but was too lazy. Wonder where it went.

-ominous music-

I am the only person in my circle of friends who's not scared of spiders and therefore I get to kill all of them. My old roommate (who was terrified of the little fuckers) and I spent a fun evening with one of those giant torch-lighters out on our porch de-spidering it so he could smoke in peace.

 

[Lordlucid]

Yeah, I tend not to care about spiders unless they invade my bedroom.... everywhere else is open territory to them.

 

[derek]

Yep, same here. They can come and go as they please, but not in the bedroom.

Also, I believe the spider swallowing factoid is an urban myth.

 

[Shpongled]

I don't even sleep with my mouth open. And if that many spiders supposedly crawl into my mouth while I sleep, how many crawl into my ears, too? How many spiders are there in my brain?
