Lewis Grizzard wrote that for people who are scared of snakes, there's only one kind of snake: the copper-headed water rattler. And for those ophiophobes, all snakes are classified as such. That's pretty much how I feel about spiders. There is no such thing as a different "species" of spider...all spiders are black-brown reclusive widows. The idea that there are non-poisonous, non-harmful spiders is absolute bunk, propaganda from the pro-spider movement (whose members most likely ally themselves with the spiders involuntarily, due to the presence of mind-controlling spider eggs in one's brain).

We don't see a lot of spiders around our house to be honest. I do have a great spider story though.

Few years back, I was watching Steve Irwin and he was going on about spiders and other insects. Talked about where they like to lay their eggs, hide and all that. He made mention that they like to crawl inside of shoes and that's how a lot of people get bitten. Well move forward to the very next day and I'm going out to mow the yard. I had this old pair of indoor soccer shoes that I used to cut the grass and I kept them outside. They are pretty worn so all I have to do is slip my feet into them. I had my right foot poised right above the shoe and was about to slide my foot in it when ole Steve's warning popped into my head. I put my foot down, picked up the shoe and shook it out. And wouldn't you know it, a black widow fell right out. I squashed that sucker and banged the crap out of my shoes for the next 10 minutes.

Thanks for saving me a world of pain Steve! Miss you!!

Most comfortable shoes in the gorram world. *hugs his shoes*

Can't argue that. I need to get me another pair.

I'm only KOS to black widows and brown recluses. Other spiders are fine. They stay out of my way and out of my stuff and they can occupy whatever corner they want. I think of them as pest control.

We actually go out at night and watch a feeding frenzy.

Where I'm at Spiders aren't a problem, I have so chameleons and a couple other species of lizards in my yard they are kept in check.

That made my man-bits shrivel.

I'm with the "escort them outside" crowd.

So, perhaps you'd rather have the scorpion model, then?

Scorpion model I am ok with. Must be genetics.

I can't wait to move back up north where the fauna is mostly harmless. Except for the bears. Also, where a positive quality in a cat isn't "is he a good roacher" because roaches are the size of **** mice.
