I love the global warming change in my climate but these big hairy spiders are getting too daring.

I hate spiders (childhood / genetic fear.) I keep one in the bathroom but they are just too spooky in the rest of my house.

Recently though half the spiders in my home fall off the wall because they are too fat and hairy.

They are so noisey as they run across some papers or a book I left on the floor.

They are like horses with 8 legs.

Sorry, cRunchy, couldn't resist this nightmare image:



But it is never a good sign when you can hear them stomping across the room.

I wouldn't mind if they walked along quietly but they some how became aware I get spooked by them.

They put boots on.

I often wondered how I would react to a really really big spider.

I had a pair of rats for a while and I didn't mind their naughtiness and short haired bodyness at all.

But they didn't have 8 hairy legs.

eeeeeeeek!

Like a friend of one of my ancestors sang:

Lazy Lob and crazy Cob
are weaving webs to wind me.
I am far more sweet than other meat,
but still they cannot find me!

Here am I, naughty little fly;
you are fat and lazy.
You cannot trap me, though you try,
in your cobwebs crazy.

That is even more spooky than my fat spiders.

I had two rats and they each had 2 back legs and 2 front handy type legs. We had over ten legs between us.

The best thing about small mammals is that you know they are there and if you annoy them they annoy you back.

Spiders don't care. When they get scared they run away but when they want to scare you they just do it even if you have a big book in your hand.

I have no problem with spiders.

I have two of them tattooed on my forehead. Or somewhere.

My bathroom spider likes to eats all the little crawly things.

For the rest of the house I have rolled up newspaper and a vacuum.


If he stays in there and doesn't come crawling around the rest of the house I don't mind much.

I found his brother in my electric kettle a while ago.

I think I had quite a few cups of tea prior to it falling out. :o(

Spiders seem to love going everywhere.



They are the perfect hairy adventurers.

If you had a spider on your forehead I would take great delight smacking it really hard with a big magazine. :o)

It's the 'somewhere' that bothers me.

Not sure I want to know..

That fly is an anarchist.

My spiders sometimes try and walk up the walls to make a web but they keep falling off.

I kind of like flies. You just have to open a window and they eventually go out without being asked.

Just think ICE can catch any ejecta mass when he poots!

Only problem it will kill his spider tattoo.

He needs to be careful where he places his head, when he contorts.

Can you contort?

"I can", said Zebedee

Hey ICE ... I think your avatar is cool!

So cool, in fact, that Chris would like you to join him for his cold black drinking stuff!
