So, then Al Gore is a spider?

Um, you know what?
If I saw that writhing mass of harvestmen (harvestmans?) I would scream.
GRIM.

Everything in moderation.

We have hobo spiders here. A dead hobo is a good hobo.

Rhianne · 09-30-2011, 04:24 PM

You're all wrong, totally wrong. Spiders are adorable. Given the choice between a spider and a dog I know which I'd rather share a room with.

Even if you don't like cuties like the one below though, have a look at this link to see some amazing photos - then tell me you don't want one of your own!

Son of a bitch.

Now I have to ignore Rhianne and only read posts on a case by case. Please to warn of spider pictures.

Seriously, I will have nightmares.

No, not cute. No. No. No. It wants to eat my face off.

Sundae · 09-30-2011, 04:35 PM

Rhianne they are beautiful biders.
I still wouldn't want a writhing mass of anything on me though.

Like I have no fear of birds, but I hated having to change at Mile End Tube Station, because the carriage I needed to be in was right under a gap in the netting that stopped pigeons roosting in the station. There were so many concentrated at that point and the sheer noise and and the confined flapping and racketing of them made me squirm.

♪ ♫ Hey, didja happen to see the most beautiful spider in the world? and if you did, was it spinning, spinning? ♪ ♫

But seriously, what doesn't look fantastic at 600X magnification?

This is an awesome brooch, infi, it's not at all a spider.

Oh wait - clarify.
Any spider in this country.

I'm not mean enough to attach the photo of the huntsman spider behind the clock (hahaha, I know it's seared in your brains anyway!) but it has reminded me to print it off for a spider-shy colleague at work.

S'okay, you already know I'm teh evil.

Pictures have no effect on me.

They're not spiders, they're harvestmen. A fine distinction, but even as a kid I noted it. (And as a kid I called them Granddaddy Long Legs for some reason.)

Plus, I don't think they tend to sneak into your house. DLLs seem perfectly content to stay outside. I don't think I've ever seen one crawling around my house. Weird.

Oh crap!
Do these little bastards have anything to do with Winblows error messages that mention dlls?

I took a look and I still do not want one.

Jumping spiders are almost as bad as flying sharks.

The tarantulas are gearing up for their major fall migration in the Southwest. With any luck, I should see a few of them crossing the roads.

infinite monkey · 09-30-2011, 06:15 PM

I bid this thread adieu! I wish it luck, and many years of happy posts, but I just can't be in this thread anymore. It's become the fear we a-phobes came here to lament.

Rhianne · 09-30-2011, 06:30 PM

Now, if we could only get I.M. out of all the other threads...!

footfootfoot · 09-30-2011, 07:34 PM

You evil genius, you.

TheMercenary · 09-30-2011, 09:15 PM

Strangely my only son is afraid of them as well. Weird.
