My dad has a hollow oak in his yard that houses a disgusting amount of brown recluses (who find thier way over the short hop into my workshop.) If I could do it without setting the bar, shop, and house on fire that tree would burn again (which is how it came to be hollow.)
Tarale Posts: 1288/2713	Originally posted by Doritokiller So he basically torched everything to death. ... Awesome. Yeah, pretty much. It was really rather funny. I remember my Dad encouraging him... course Dad helped out later with some slightly less insane burning of spiders. And then at the end, my uncle was finally able to rest easy. There were still hundreds / thousands of spiders about though, just less in our immediate area. What's funny is that I never had imagined him to be so arachnophobic previously... he had a bit of over-the-top bravado about most things.
Doritokiller Posts: 152/369	Originally posted by Tarale Originally posted by [GGS Cruel Justice]There are some huge freaking spiders where I live. Typically the female recluses under cinder bricks and whatnot. I have a few jumping spiders wandering around my blinds, tiny spiders in the corners and occasionally have some brown widows near the plumbing. Try burning a bunch of daddy long leg spiders. They'll sing for you! Never burned Daddy Long Legs, but I remember an incident when I was a kid and we were camping out with my Dad's side of the family. An uncle of mine is very arachnophobic, and that particular time when we'd gone up to our usual spot, there were a bunch of Golden Orb Weaver spiders about. I mean LOTS. Hundreds and hundreds of them. He was sorta restrained -- but twitchy -- the first night. But by morning, he'd snapped. At 6am, he went and got a big stick, and wrapped a rag around one end, and doused it in kero, and then we were woken by him screaming and ranting and raving and running around trying to burn down just about everything and throwing kerosene everywhere. Being impressionable kids, we were impersonating him the rest of the holiday. I think we had one in our backyard.... My sister and I threw tiny blades of grass onto the web to see what would happen... It viciously attacked the blades. It was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. So he basically torched everything to death. ... Awesome.

Trapster Posts: 3210/3604	I don´t think I´ve ever heard a spider scream before. It´d be pretty cool to experience it. But I´ve heard that some spiders follows sounds. So if you scream (like most girls do when they see a huge spider), it´ll follow you.

Tarale Posts: 1253/2713	I was bitten once, on my toe, a spider got into my bed. It just got really really really itchy for months and months, and the skin was flaky... and itchy. I managed to kill all the itchy with lots of hydrocortisone.
Trapster Posts: 3205/3604	They probably gave it one hell of a beatdown. Never been bitten by a spider, I think. And if I´ve been, I didn´t see or felt when it happened.

Peardian Posts: 1315/1757	One time my brother got bit on the back by a spider. He got a giant lump the size of a baseball and we had to put meat tenderizer on it. Luckily I've never gotten a bite that big. Actually, yesterday was the first time I've been bitten by anything in a while...
Sweet Kassy Molassy Posts: 152/886	I just got out of the bathroom and put on some jeans. There was a spider in my pants. It's dead now but only after a harrowing battle. I'm all shaky now. I hate spiders...
Alastor Posts: 6142/8204	Originally posted by Tarale I don't mind looking at PICTURES of spiders, but any of those in my house, and I squish them. Particularly ones I know are poisonous, like the redback that's pictured. If they're on me I will probably freak out, much to the amusement of everybody else I'm sure. ~_~ There's no red-back spider pictured. That's a black widow spider. Related, but not the same. Redbacks have more of a two diamond or striped pattern, while black widows have an hourglass shape on them.
Koneko Posts: 494/656	I think spiders are cute. The ones near where I live are not dangerous, so I'm not scared of them. If I find them in my house, I pick them up gently and set them down outside.

Trapster Posts: 3200/3604	I think that the green spider looks pretty cool. The 4th pic in asdf's list. I also think that the eyes on the 5th one looks pimpy.
Sweet Kassy Molassy Posts: 145/886	Originally posted by asdf Bah. You guys are thinking small scale with the images. ...I hate you guys.
Darkdata Posts: 258/983	I am not afraid of spiders because there is no poison as in you can die/be really ill spiders around here. The spiders around here are super small too. I did however do something horrable to a friend. I have one of those giant looks real plastic spiders. He was asleep I put it on his chest. He got up and... Well he yelled so loud that my mom heard him outside. .
Alastor Posts: 6138/8204	Haha! Owned, Colin! Owned!
