Spider season

[Skweeky]

My house if full of spiders the size of my hand!
And I'm terrified of spiders

The cats eat the ones that are close enough to the floor or to a place they can reach but I think the spiders have figured this out because every time I see one it's on or near the ceiling :fear:

Last night there was a massive one in my bedroom:cry:


I'm scared :fear:

Fuuuuuuck!

[CrabGirl]

I like spiders. I'm normally on spider duty for all me mates, and cheese.

I'd offer to save you but you'd have to pay me train fare like.

[Skweeky]

't is alright

One of the cats just ate another one of the big fuckers. Hehehehehehe

Let nature run its course :D

[CrabGirl]

Get one of these....

[Mr. Mulder]

Ehh....just crunch 'em.

[CrabGirl]

Noooo. Guess you like a house full o flies then?

Don't kill them!

[Busyman™]

Noooo. Guess you like a house full o flies then?

Don't kill them!

I don't get lotsa flies. Plus I don't want spiders about just to catch flies.

I have Black Widows in this area. Dem mofos are gettin' crunched, Crabby.

[CrabGirl]

Yeh fair enough. We don't got no poison ones. If we did I suppose I might think differently about stomping them

[CrabGirl]

Sqweeky, do you enjoy seeing your cats get spiders?

! hate killing them, but I love seeing my cat hunt stuff.

[Agrajag]

We don't got no poison ones.

What!

[tesco]

A few months ago was spider season here :cry:
I once found like 7 or 8 or something in one night all within 5-10 minutes, then posted about it. :cry:!

[Lilmiss]

Shelob lives behind my sofa.

fact. :mellow:

[Busyman™]

I be havin' dem. At the vury least, da bite is goin' ta hurt.

Do you love seeing your cat eat stuff too? Last night mine chowed down on a mouse in the front garden...I could hear the bones cracking from the kitchen. It was a little disgusting.

:shuriken:

:shuriken:

our old dog used to eat mice- all except the tail. we would move something with a lot of mice underneith it and he would get a whole pile of them and you could hear him crunching away at them for a half hour. then he would leave a little pile of mouse tails on the ground.

[MagicNakor]

I've seen my cat eat plenty of mice before, but I've never seen him attack one so voraciously. When he was younger he used to leave us the hearts and livers.

:shuriken:

[Tempestv]

must have been an honor- I mean he's leaving you the best parts

[Barbarossa]

't is alright

There's nothing natural about cats :no:

[MagicNakor]

must have been an honor- I mean he's leaving you the best parts

I think he's just trying to tell us how stupid we are.

It was extremely cute to see him teaching my sister's kitten (also male) how to hunt. I had no idea that males would teach other males, especially when he hated that kitten whenever they were both in the house.

:shuriken:

I like seeing my cat act like a cat. We get the occaisional mouse in here too and I've seen her fit a whole one in her gob with just the tail hanging out, release the poor spit-sodden thing, and torture it to death. I dont like seeing them just after she's killed them as they still kick, and she strips out the face, belly and legs, and leaves the spine, tail, skull and a few misc. red bits. Urgh.

Spiders are great tho as she knows they bite, and does that flicky thing with her paws and its highly entertaining.

[MagicNakor]

Well, torture and consumption are entirely different.

:shuriken:

[CrabGirl]

Its a heirarchy of dislike.

I like seeing my cat act like a cat more than I dislike killing spiders.

Mice are cute but I dont want them in my house. If I get to them before she does I'm remove them from the house. This has so far never happened.

[MagicNakor]

I think you misunderstand.

Torture is wholesome entertainment.

:shuriken:

[GepperRankins]

i like watching the dogs kill bees cause they eat em like a south park character :dabs:

[manker]

During the summer months, on average, a person who resides in the UK will consume eight spiders.

The spiders are attracted to warm, dank places so crawl in your mouth while you sleep.

Fact.

Also, cats catch worms and other diseases by eating wild mice.

[MagicNakor]

http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/spiders.htm

And that's why you stuff pills down their throat to prevent it. :snooty:

:shuriken:

[manker]

Snopes was basing that on research in Australia where spiders are simply too big to fit in a human's mouth :smilie4:

It says as much in the site's disclaimer.

[MagicNakor]

I reckon that we do eat a certain no. of insects per year in our sleep but that there is no bonafide research to proove how many, and which species. It'd be a difficult experiment to try and conduct.

[DorisInsinuate]

Is it even possible to swallow stuff in your sleep?

What species would be dumb enough to climb inside a mouth?

[CrabGirl]

Is it even possible to swallow stuff in your sleep?

Yes. :ph34r:

[Snee]

Yeh fair enough. We don't got no poison ones. If we did I suppose I might think differently about stomping them

All spiders are poisonous. Fact.

[clocker]

http://www.extremescience.com/images/goliath-plate.gif

Tasty.

:shuriken:
After your monotonous diet of rice I'll bet that looks quite tempting.
Perhaps with a bit of curry?

[MagicNakor]

Aracnophobia > spider meat. :sick:

:shuriken:

Venomous :no2:

[Barbarossa]

I like spiders :happy:

[Snee]

Meh, same difference.

'sides, try eating one, and I'll guarantee the poison ends up inside you.

Ok...Cartman!:lol: :lol:

[CrabGirl]

About three weeks ago I found a dead spider in teh bath, and as himself is a little bothered by the wee beasties I thought it would be funny to put the carcass on the bathroom windowsill just by his shaving gear. I've spent the past few weeks waiting to hear bloodcurding screams from the bathroom but nope, he never even noticed. I threw the now-dessicated carcass out the window yesterday.

[Proper Bo]

He's probably more scared of having to touch those ginner whiskers of his:no:

[Tempestv]

Stories are fine.

OOOo look at the little paddles on the end of its feelers! So cool!

The face-hugger's not so pretty either. :ermm:

STOP posting PICTURES of SPIDERS

:shuriken:

[Snee]

Ah, the dreaded hobo.

We meet again.

[DorisInsinuate]

Strategy remains the same for any hobo, beat it to death with a shoe. If you're lucky the hobo has shoes so you don't get shit on your own ones.

[Skweeky]

We get bigger ones than that one up here Crabgirl :fear:

And yes, I love seeing my cats chase them.
Funnily, enough, there's only one of them that chases spiders and mice.
The other two chase after the odd moth but they don't bother with anything bigger.

When we came back from our holiday the neighbour who was taking care of the cats said he'd had to remove a whole pile of mice from the backyard :lol:

Dougie (the cat who catches them) just plays with them for as long as they move. As soon as they're dead she just leaves them there...

Luckily she eats the spiders :)

[Lilmiss]

I get really odd looking spiders in here, think they crawl in from across teh field.
They don't really bother me so much, but I'm shit scared of moths. :blushing:

A few years back, one of me pals tried killing a spider with a can of Natrel deodorant. He sprayed it so much it turned white and stuck to the floor so he went orf to work thinking it was dead. A few hours later his girlyfriend came home n called him in tears saying there was a huge fuzzy white speedy running about the house. :glag:

[Skweeky]

There's some funny littles ones around as well with longer legs at the front than at the back.

There's one living above the bath and every time I take a shower it comes running towards the shower head :lol:

So I always slash a couple of drops on it so it goes back to its corner. Stupid spider

[Lilmiss]

So I always slash a couple of drops on it

eeew, deerty beetch. :pinch:

I get red ones with green legs, had a few jumping ones, even had one that ate its own leg when trapped under a glass. :ermm:

[Spider_dude]

we dont get big spiders here in embra. moths are cunts. fact.

[Lilmiss]

Moths wouldn't be so bad if they didn't try to rape your head everytime ya get close to them. Fact.

[Proper Bo]

I'm shit scared of moths. :blushing:


fact.

also wasps, hedgehogs, and streaks of spilled coke on the freezer door which supposedly resemble a snake:pinch:

[Lilmiss]

Harshness indeedness, but you forgot about the daddy long legs. :happy: :pinch:

[Skweeky]

I meant splash obviouslymente

[Lilmiss]

pft, i'm more inclined to believe the first version. :lol:

[CrabGirl]

Cheese is scared of moths. He screams like a girl, or Ned Flanders, when there is one in the room.

Cheese, until you tell me why I can't switch on my fecking pc I am going to continue to sully your good name.

[Cheese]

They are horrid creatures made of dust and devil-magic sent to torment me.

[Cheese]

Actually I love them really. One day I am going to set up my own moth sanctuary and let them all land on me because I love to feel their little wings fluttering against my skin.

[Barbarossa]

Paint yourself with phosphorescent body paint and run naked through the woods. You'll never know what you might pick up :smilie4:

[DorisInsinuate]

Even better, wrap yourself in fly paper and run through the woods :smilie4:

[Barbarossa]

Whatever, just run through the woods :smilie4:

[Cheese]

I want crabgirl to fill the house with spiders and moths, and especially my shoes...

[DorisInsinuate]

She probably would do it, Crabgirl's nice like that, she wouldn't ever do anything like slanderlerise your name.

[Cheese]

Yes. Crabgirl is the boss. Entirely.

[MagicNakor]

http://www.ksby.com/home/headlines/3855917.html

Not quite naked in the woods...but...

:shuriken:

[hamm]

Fortunately most of the big spiders stay out of the house here.

But just had this critter wander across the floor.

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/2821/millipy6.jpg

Couple hunderd tiny little legs on that sucker. :unsure:




Get one of these.... http://www.spidercatcher.net/home.htm
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v396/n-b-s/hysterical.gif I love the fact that they include a plastic spider for you to "pratice on".

[MagicNakor]

Centipedes/milipedes freak me out too. I really think it's the legs....anything over six is creepy.

:shuriken:

[Skweeky]

I don't mind them at all.
There's always huge snails in my back garden as well and I quite like watching them.

My brother once convinced me they make jam out of the things :lol: Still don't like eating jam

[DorisInsinuate]

Being afraid of spiders isn't an irrational fear based on a evolutionary defense mechanism, it's just arachnephobia.

[Barbarossa]

:lol: stoppit :P

[DorisInsinuate]

I've never actually seen the xenophobia quote, linkous pas?

[Barbarossa]

I'll link you to a quote of the quote, for authenticity :smilie4:
