So, about spiders.

[jfost]

I hate those little fuckers too, I like to spay them with some sort of "scubbing bubbles" cleaner they like that lots.

lots of funny going on here.

[cranked]

Heard somewhere once that the average person eats four or for spiders a year in their sleep from spiders crawling into their mouth.

SLEEP TIGHT!

That is why I kill them and leave their carcasses for others to see...that way, they know not to fuck with me...game of thrones stylie.

[Sluffy]

or do longer-lived spiders grow larger?

science is almost as annoying as law and dentistry.

indeed, post hoc ergo propter hoc IS a logical fallacy

Forgot about this until....

My friend got bit by a black widow today. Sorta neck/shoulder area. She was trying on a sweatshirt someone wanted to give away.

She had a really bad reaction. Softball size swelling at bite site, numbness, tingling, pain, etc. Progressed to abdominal cramps, muscle spasms, mumbling speech and more pain. Symptoms worsened quickly. Luckily, she works in the rehab dept at the local hospital very close to the ER.

Rare for an adult to have such a bad reaction. Worst the docs had ever seen.

I just talked to her on the phone and she still sounds like shit 12 hours after it happened.

I wonder how Frank's doing.

Tits or GTFO.

I don't get why grown men are afraid of regular spiders. Brown Recluse? Black Widow? Fine. But a regular spider that all it does is eat the bugs you really do not want around your house?

Unwad your panties, girls.

Well the way they paralyze their prey, liquefy their innards and then suck them out while the prey is still alive is kind of gnarly.

[Tippster]

Really they should imprison their prey, force-feed them foods they normally would not eat so their flesh putrefies with fats and flavors that their captor prefers, then design machinery for the capture, sanction, evisceration, and butchering of said prey to keep the predator as sanitary as possible. They should then devise a system of burning or scalding that flesh to make it more palatable before consuming it by reducing it into small pieces that can be masticated and mixed with saliva to pre-digest it a tad before it gets dissolved in a pool of acid.

We don't have much high ground on the spider, methinks.

Now I'm hungry.

Now I'm hungry.

I heart you.

Well, I hate to break the news but I think Frank has kicked the bucket. Sorry Ice..

But, on the bright side, there is Frank Jr. in the making! A bit smaller geezer has been spotted already..

Sooo, is she playing cello again?

Was it a garden spider? Those things get huge and don't move around much.

My dad's friend is a big ol' macho cowboy cattle rancher type guy. I went over to his sister's house to help him move a hot tub. Lifted one side up and there had to be 10-15 black widows under it. I jumped back. He just laughed and stared wiping them off with his bare hand. I felt like a big squishy vagina.

Seems like you post proves otherwise. I'm pretty sure any spider reading over my shoulder right now is thinking "I am totally doing that from now on."

[Shadam]

so most of you know the black widow and the ozy red back are one and the same, sorta kinda ...
and both have the same red mark on the top of the abdomine.

well fark me swinging if I'm up in bumfark saskatchewan and I find a black widow with a blue mark not red ???
everything about this spider was black widow but with a royal blue marking ...
fark I wish I had kept that farking thing in a jar as it was weird and I'm sure some one some where would have been interested in its story.

oh and in ozyland I have seen a few huntsman spiders the size of my hand with fingers extended, and a wolf spider that was noticeably bigger than my extended hand, fark it was big !!!

In case you don't read the cutting wood thread...

Almost grabbed onto this old girl while digging into my stack of rounds during a splitting session this weekend...

[stfu&gbtw]

^ that would have left a mark.

One of the things I most love about living at high altitude is that environments that don't naturally sustain a lot of life, don't naturally sustain a lot of life. We don't even get mosquitoes, let alone snakes or any of those fancy looking spiders. We were eating out on the deck last night just as the sun hid behind a cloud.. Temp dropped to about 45... ah.... summer.
