Tom, that was creepy. Makes you scratch your head, ewww!

SPIDERS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD LUCK ESPECIALLY IF THEY LIVE IN THE HOUSE, THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BRING THE HOUSE MONEY. I DON'T KILL THEM UNLESS IT'S IN THE SHOWER WITH ME.

I used to be deathly afraid of spiders but now I just put them in a glass and throw them outside.

After seen these things all over the outside of the studio all summer, even I got the heebie jeebies.



My look more green like this one.


Is it me or does the head look like a human skull?




To give you an idea on how big they get: check this one out!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDED TO ADD PICTURES TO THE THREAD I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT WITHOUT THINKING THERE'S A SPIDER IN MY BED OR SOMEWHERE AROUND.

You think you got trouble???

I'm the one with a fucking spider walking around his garage with a "gangsta lean" lookin' for revenge!

Actually, if all spiders were to up and die, the insects of the earth would consume our food supply in less that a day. Spiders are incredibly beneficial to the environment, and very few are actually poisonous to humans. Few merit the amount of fear that they generate in the average human.

Icenine, you have nothing to worry about. The spider was probably just trying to make friends. Now you've gone and given it a complex. It probably feels like Caspar The Friendly Ghost! I think you should have let it bite you! If it had been irradiated, as you theorize, then perhaps you would have gained some really cool super-powers! Man, that would have been cool! You could have been climbing up walls & shit!

If I would have let the radioactive spider bite me and I had become spider-like, I would have had to kick my own ass... that would have sucked.

LMFAO! @ the spider with the gangsta lean.

OK...I kid you not...as I sat here laughing my ass off at this thread I noticed a goddamn black widow on my fucking coffee table...


Which makes me ask the question. What kind of GOD would create such evil looking things?

IceNine said:

AHHH HAAA!! SO U DO BELIEVE SOMETHING OUT THERE IS 'HOLY' ROFL bad atheist!

IceNine said:

i've killed plenty! they are the king of spiders...we're so lucky over here...we get all the best creepy crawlies... your spiders are just a bunch of pussies...our spiders could kick your spiders asses! (do spiders have asses?)

IceNine said:

Yup, that's the greater carjacking texas garage spider all right.

(the juvenile ones also ring peoples doorbells and run away, laughing hysterically)

IceNine said:

IT WILL COME BACK... IT DOES HAVE YOUR SCENT..!!!

i once smushed a wolf spiders egg sac that was on my outside door. That BITCH got in the house some how and jumped on my back from the book case by the door..!!! i swear to GOD.!!! it looked like some kind of horror show... every one in the house SCREAMED bloody murder


i would kill that fucker befor it comes back

MrBliss said:

I don't know if they have asses or not, but they all need to die!!!

BorisFishpaw said:

That's right... one of these fuckers knocked on my door and ran today... fuckers!!!

This is getting annoying too, as I have to get in the car in a moment to go to the store... that fucker will probably open the door for me... just in time to steal my keys and bite me a few dozen times.

DORA said:

HOLY SHIT!!!

I fucking hate it when spiders get on you... just reading your story made me shudder!

Aaargh!

IceNine said:

Luckily, only male spiders over the age of 5 learn how to hot-wire, but the females do try to get in your house to steal your keys.

TRON said:

NOOOoOooo! What the f!!! I have never seen that insect before! And I hope I never do in person!

I don't know man, that's just rididculous...what the heck are those long surrounding like antenna things...what's with the menacing claws?!? Or is that the actual mouth!? Shit!!!

What an incredibly freak nature of an insect. What's going on!? How was this allowed to evolutionize!?!?! Where are those native to?

Okay, I have a theory, they are alien lifeforms carried by meteors.

I must say though, it's amazing they have such power. If you really look at it, insects have this power over humans. They instantly instill fear and disgust. Plus they survive in almost any environment, can climb anywhere...just amazing.


Wuuuagh...(shudder)

i have to say thank u Ice...just from your story i will probably be unable to sleep tonight. i suffer from such severe aracnaphobia that just from reading that i am now shaking all over and breaking out in a sweat (i mean glisten for all of u who know me in real life)...damn u!!!

lillith said:

Trust me... it was worse in person!

thanks a lot IceNine, i NEEDED that jolt of pure adrenaline i got from your story. nice of you to describe it in such detail, for all us arachnophobes out here

reminds me of what happened to that guy at the campground outhouse, he was just about to sit down and A HUGE SPIDER CRAWLED OUT FROM UNDER THE LID OF THE TOILET SEAT!!~!~!~!

Jumping spiders have large eyes and a chunky, fuzzy body. They are very active hunters. Their excellent eyesight is used for stalking prey. Before pouncing on the victim, jumping spiders attach a line of silk from which they can dangle if they fall.

how come there are so many of us who fear spiders?

when we examine the spider rationally it's pretty cool. nice, even, spinning pretty little webs and all. yet, when you accidentally walk through a spider web and end up with one on your arm, it's a true freaker isn't it?

could it be genetic? some kind of atavistic memory? did humankind huddle shivering in caves and watching as the dinosaurs were wiped out by swarms of vicious flesh eating spiders?? maybe it's an instinct to avoid them, even though their modern day survivors have shrunk to a much smaller size and pose us no discernible threat.

or perhaps, it's because we know that somewhere, underground probably, lurks the MASTER SPIDER, a giant creature big enough to tkae godzilla himself!!! and, we sense the coming invasion...spiders large and small pouring into our world from theirs. . .

okay. that's enough of the scary stuff, IceNine. look what you've started. i'm telling ian to just lock this thread.

XxAxX said:

Maybe god is a spider... we are supposed to be god-fearing... well, if god is a spider, I am certainly god-fearing!

Ice, you're nuts if you're afraid of jumping spiders! Those little guys are cute and fuzzy AND they leap around. What more could you want?

But I do feel you on the funnel spiders. Those fuckers are nasty. So glad I don't live in Australia.

IceNine said:

About a week ago I put my foot in my shoe and there was a cockroach in there.

Damn. Sometimes I hate Thailand.

yamomma said:

Reminds me of those giant Skulltulas from Ocarina of Time.

bkk1981 said:

Yeah... Roaches suck really bad too... luckily I don't have any of those pricks here, I hate them.
