Get some!
It’s the American banzai.
ARACHNIST!!!!
Spider: Yo! Get yo’ ass off my tuffet, bitch.
My younger brother used to jump on cockroaches with his bare feet. None of us was surprised when he became a surgeon.
Ever since I saw a photo of a guy’s arm just totally ruined by a Brown Recluse bite, I’ve killed all spiders in the house on general principles. Snakes I love, but spiders and all other arachnids creep me out in a major way. Don’t even get me started on ticks.
And chiggers. Can I say “chiggers”?
Now I know my wife will be a big fan of yours…
I believe the proper term is chegro, Dan.
Thanks, Michael
Ever since we stopped killing spiders in the house, the count of nuisance baugs has dropped dramatically.
Spiders are cool.
I meant <i>bugs<>, of course. Preview is my friend, I know, though baugs is kinda funny.
I believe the proper term is chegro, Dan.
No, that went out with the 60’s. Now they’re Arachno-Americans.
What, Jeff, you have friggin’ Shelob living in your house?
“Hiyi-YAA!”
I have a two-tiered tolerance system for spiders.
First Tire: Spiders that actually get detected inside the house (except the basement, which we don’t use much), or too close to a door leading into the house, are deemed unlawful enemy combatants and are killed on sight.
Second Tier: Spiders outside the house and whose webs are not a direct nuisance to humans, get to stay—provided they are not identifiable as either black widows or brown recluses. Unless, you know, they’re big enough to haul away our dog. Haven’t seen a spider that big around here.
Yet.
Miniscule-Americans. Or no-see-ums, take your pick. They sure do itch like hell.
STEREOTYPER!!!
