Tomorrow's new feed, man burns down house from chernobyl spider

[Dungannon]

Spiders and bugs don't bother me in the least. My grandkids are impressed that I just pick them off with my fingers and flick them into the bushes. Or, smash them underfoot. My wife is terrified of spiders but only annoyed by other types of insects. She has a peculiar way of saying 'Bob' that lets me know a spider is near and needs to be dispatched. For her sake, indoor spiders die. Outdoor spiders are allowed to hang around and eat flies.

That my friend is a BROWN RECLUSE one bite will cause your skin to swell and then decompose right on your body if not treated soon

Looks like a hobo spider to me too.

I'm somewhat familiar since I've had a bunch this year and my GF had to bomb her home in Forest Grove because she had even more. Some people don't mind them. I do. They bite me (probably in my sleep) and leave hard, itchy, swollen, scabbed welts that I scratch constantly and unconsciously for 3+ weeks. We've both had bites all summer.

Sorry nature lovers. Inside or out, wherever I go, I destroy every spider I see.

I don't know what that spider is, but I'd catch it and release it outside. Unless it was in the bathroom. I don't tolerate spiders being near the throne.

Oh well here's an update. Took a shower last night and just before I wash my hair i look down and there a big black spider on the little side seat in my F-ing shower with me.

Always good to shower with a friend!!!

Spiders need to get clean too, did you offer it any soap?

It was just trying to get clean after a night of hunting any other insect that could be in the house.

Nah that thing needs to die. It got too close to the pearly throne.

Tis the season! Walked out the front door this morn, Right into the biggest damn spider web in the county! Never even saw it, but did "that special spider dance" we all know and love! LOL

 

[oknow]

We had banana spiders back in Fl. you could walk into their web stop and backup and the web would let you go it was that strong.

 

[Boboclown]

If you see a web in my backyard, there's likely a black widow nearby. Saw 2 of them last week, and quite a few wolf spiders too. One advantage of no longer being arachnophobic is that spiders don't bother you as much.

Oh man, I remember those dang things... Makes the hair stand up on my neck... See he's big enough to take out with a center fire handgun...

I did actually, the shampoo bottle smashed it.

One time, we were guarding an ammo dump on the border of BFE and Iraq. I was standing watch with a buddy when one of these guys came running by



I kicked rocks/sand at it as it went passed. I generally have a strong dislike for anything with more than 4 legs and less than two.

Ill be damned if that little bastard didn't do a full 180 in the sand, turn and come right for us. It got about 10 feet from where we were standing and jumped at us. I had never seen a spider that big in real life before. I had also never seen a spider that aggressive before. It was also the first time I had ever seen one of satans creatures launch itself air born to invade my nightmares for months to come. It's the only time in my career I ever truly considered abandoning my post.

A camel spider? That thing just wanted to get out of the sun. For all it knows, you were some giant moving cactus. Their pinch can hurt quite a bit though.

A really fun movie to watch is Big Azz Spider.
( note the middle word should be spelled correctly if you plan on looking it up )
Lots of laughs and action plus *** SPOILER*** the big old nasty spider dies in the end.

Funny flick!

Shows on SyfyHT, channel on 10/1 at 1am to 3am.
At least on DIRECTV. And, I suspect, anywhere that Syfy shows!

Ok, Sig! I'm not the least afraid of spiders, HOWEVER, I can't believe you didn't open up on that little spawn of Satan!

 

[Kristina]

I seldom pass up an opportunity to laugh at grown-azz men acting like babies. Thank you for this thread.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Aww! Come on Kristina! Take another look! That one looks like it could actually be the physical, offspring of Satan!
