It was Shelob. I'd have set my house on fire too.

He'll still feel the creepy-crawlies on him, even in his new house (or hotel room, as the case may be).

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon . . .

I would just swallow the bird to catch the spider that wiggled and wriggled and jiggled inside 'er.

Is the spider ok?

Ya know when I first read the subby's headline I thought I saw "goldspider" instead of "spider".... I guess I am still in shock of seeing my ex "goldspider" on here....

/still in shock.... but not really surprised to see him on here since he does have chip on his shoulder towards towards the world..
//guess that's also why he really cannot pick up any decent girl over 21.... ooppss did I just say that? yes I did... hehehehehe 8oP

If you have bedbugs then I would suggest re-evaluating your general hygiene/cleaning skills. Might want to toss that swamp of a mattress too. Unless you live in a third world country or homeless shelter, or old military barracks you shouldn't be dealing with bedbugs.

Actually, bedbugs are making a comeback, thanks to people from other countries bringing them to hotels, and the hotels not cleaning everything thoroughly enough after they leave. Then the little beasties hitch a ride on your clothes when you stay in that room, and migrate to your house!

if you think about it, probably worked that way for had to be sure spider killer guy. fireman got there before the fire reached the roof, so its almost certainly still up right, but TFA said the fire was working its way up inside the walls, the support beams arent gonna exactly be sitting pretty after that

We don't even get big spiders in the UK - what was this guy thinking!

Hit it with a rock next time.

Not really, since I'm positive she's got the nipple-covering-the-entire-boob thing going on. I'll settle for GTFO.

I remember seeing those when I worked in a food store back in my college days... freaky aren't they?

It's comments like hers that threaten to devolve FARK into a crappy message board. Or 4chan.

After getting curious and googling to see if any other produce workers have encountered these terrors, I've found that a 'banana spider' is one of the most venomous and aggressive spiders in the world.

I'm gonna need some thicker gloves.

So a couple of sparks from a lighter get behind your wall and the whole house goes up? Fireproof building materials fail?

kind of related: My parents had the worst problem with yellowjackets. Their house burned down last November. My mom saw the lighter side of losing everything and said "at least the yellowjackets are gone." They went back to sift through the ashes and guess what stung her... They weren't gone after all...

Banana spider boner?

I just read the wiki, if that spider bites you it can make your banana stand.

To be fair, she did bring up her ex unsolicited in a very attention whoring manner. And insulted him. A1 class there.

Females asking for attention on the internet usually leads to one phrase.

I wonder, is the profile picture of the guy in goth black is the one she is bawwing about or not?

Sounds like someone is not over their "ex" yet. Why else would he even cross your mind, much less you sh*t-talk him like that?

nope that's the guy I'm marrying in October.... Adam, my ex is the one who generally has issues... I always thought girls had more issues than guys but once I met him good lord was I wrong... after three months of dating him I ran... He was way too clingy....

well I'm still ticked off at him for not paying me back for stuff back when we dated.... he probably forgot about that now... I mean I could take him to court but that means more money out of my pocket which I don't want to do... Spent enough money on him... If he would ever apologize for the crap that he has given me then I think I would be better...
