Creepy spider guy just came in to my work
Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 03:59 PM by HEyHEY
He dropped of a Hobo Spider in a glass jar. He talks really quietly too. The conversation went like this.
Me: "What is that"
Him : "It's a hobo spider I found in my house"
Me: "Why does he need airholes if he's dead?"
Him "Cause he was alive before I killed him."
Me: "What's he floating in?"
Him : "Paint stripper - it killed him in about three seconds"

What a creep.

1. Why in the world would someone take that to work?
He sounds very creepy.

3. SAVE THE SPIDERS MAN!!!!!!!
Dude. How would you like it if someone floated you in a giant mayonaise jar full of paint stripper??

That would be soooooo uncool.

5. Spiders are awesome creatures
I relocate the nasty people bitters I find inside the house to the outside. But I leave the daddy longlegs to live up on the corners of my walls inside my house. I've always been fasinated by DL spiders ever since I can remember. I love em.
Ya gotta tidy up and dust away their old dirtied up webs a couple times a week, but the trade off is far worth it. They don't bite people and they eat any flies and skeeters that get in and I don't ever have to use nasty poisonous bug sprays :thumbsup: It's a win-win situation all around :-)

I don't like that creepy man that takes pleasure in killing spiders in paintstripper.
:spank: take that you bad-bad man :spank:

:evilgrin:

8. I've heard Daddy longlegs are themost poisonous spiders around
But their fangs don't have the strentgh to break human skin.

14. When I first heard that I found it hard to believe
But when I read up on them, they say it's a fact. But that doesn't concern me in the least. Not only do they lack the strength to pierce the skin their mouths/fangs are so very tiny it is impossible for them to bite people.

12. When I read the subject line, this song came into my head...
Lullaby
The Cure


(I spy something beginning with S...)

On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
And I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes
Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
But it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight!

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

The spiderman is always hungry...

(Come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly
I have something...)

15. Why do people kill insects that are in their house?
I always catch the little creepers and put them in a napkin and then sent them free!
