Whenever I get too intimidated by spiders... I just try and remind myself of my track record with them.

Travis: ~530
Spiders: 0

Now that's a winning streak...

I do, my friend has three as pets (he also has two snakes, two lizards and a scorpion). They're so damn cool looking things. I still like snakes more tho, going to get one when I have the $.

I have a fake spider sitting at the top of my tv, I like to throw it on friends who hate spiders, their reaction is priceless

I think it must have something to do with extremety protrusion... with a snake you've just got 2 ends, but with a spider, you've got those 8 gangly legs darting out everywhere and those 2 pinchers on its mouth. There's just no trusting that.
Regular spiders, where their legs are thin and stuff are fine... but big juicy ones with them big legs and round bodies... it's homemade flame thrower time!! (Can of bug spray + lighter)

Hahaha, I've done that so many times it's become an art.

I've actually had a few spiders make a loud squealch/scream. That's a very satisfying response.

Once there was a REALLY HUGE moth in my garage flying around while I was working on a particularly difficult case-mod at night. I whipped out a can of WD-40 and a barbeque lighter and started burninating in its general direction, the stupid thing actually FLEW RIGHT INTO the flame and kinda flapped around and then dropped to the ground flaming and kicking. Those white moths I have nothing against, but this thing was the size of a small bird.


hence the saying "like a moth to a flame".

Considering that you're intimidated by an animal with such a losing stream I think they have the upper emotional hand.

The spiders in Japan were huge and EVERYWHERE. That spider looks like nothing in comparrison

I went to the bathroom at night and kicked something. I look down and this 2 inch spider (which is NOT considered big) runs to the wall next to the door of the toilet. I freaked out (HOW THE HELL DO YOU *KICK* A SPIDER?!) and went to bed without a bathroom break :|

You need to get rid of those, and quick. Female black widows are pretty dangerous, especially to children and eleders. Bites can go unnoticed as they are not very painful, but symptons will start eventually. If bitten, you need to seek medical treatment immediately.

HERE is some info and pics of black widow spiders.

We get a lot of Brown Recluse in the south, they are frightening considering their venom can start to eat flesh if not treated immediately.

HERE is a picture of a brown recluse.

HERE are some pictures of people who have been bitten by a brown recluse.

I always have a fresh can of RAID around my apartment. I killed a brown recluse just last night. I spray about once every other week, and most of the time I find them dead. The way I like them.

Those spiders freak me out THE MOST! Far more than any clockspider!!

One time I saw a brown recluse in the bathroom. I took a qtip and dipped it in the hydrochloride toilet bowl cleaner, which is extremely acidic. I taunted the spider with it, and the brown recluse bit onto it. You could see the huge ass fangs, and I lifted up the qtip, and it just stuck on there, and it lifted its own weight with its fangs.
It didn't die.
I then poured the stuff directly on its body, and it died instantly.

so I guess now is the time spider's eggs hatch because these little spiders keep floating in front of my monitor, I take it there is a nest up in the corner, oh well, spiders don't really bother me, except for that one Slacker posted, that's scary.
