    So I saw this little effer running across the back of my couch (He moves FAST) and I took a brand new pack of CD's and bashed his buggy brains in. (I might have broke one or two)

    I thought it was a wolf spider, but on closer inspection it looks more like this picture of a male Hobo Spider. They aren't indigenous to this area, but they've recently been on the move, so it's not impossible that it could be.

    My camera just does really really bad on the extreme close ups. What do you think?

    I don't recognize it, but just be thankful it is not a brown recluse. ;) It does sure look like your example of a hobo.

    What's up with the number of legs?
    I count more than there should be.

    Baah, so it's a spider. Do you know that there's a spider not a yard from you anywhere on the earth? Well except for the Antarctic.;):wave

    It's the shadow of the legs. Pic 1 is the clearest. And I just wanna make sure it isn't poisonous, because if there are others, I'm getting the house sprayed.

    Its always really nasty/weird moments when you see a some what scary looking thing in your house. Ive posted in a thread about bugs being in houses. And we got house cenepeds(google if you want to) anyways they say they don't get to big but I know I just killed the mother load and it was 5-6 inches including legs. But omg they are bad here and everywhere you look. Bathtub, toilet, wall sitting there, above the pill on the wall was this last one. Nasty little things. Also verrry quick!

    i can manage most creepy crawlies, its just spiders that give me the creeps. if i know theres a spider in the room, i will run out with lightning speed and not re-enter the room until it is removed. i daren't squish them incase it survives and becomes attached to my shoe :eek

    Do you have a damp basement? or does the building you live in?
    They live in dark wet places and can be gotten rid of. If it's someplace you live, I would complain to the landlord and demand an exterminator, if it's your house I'd call one myself. Those things do bite, even if they aren't supposed to.. and they're creepy. My friend had them... nasty lil buggars and lightning quick.

    @Kodo - I live in the country between 9 mile creek and an acre and a half of grass and trees. Course it's a grass spider.. But it looks like several different kinds that all unfortunately look nearly identicle, and I just wanted to make sure the damn this isn't poisonous because I have little people :)

    An amusing way to kill spiders and time,
    Equipment:-
    1 Golf ball 1 bathtub and of course 1 spider. Launch golf ball down the side of the tub and see how long it takes to squash the spider
    Extra equipment:-
    Spray bath cleaner and cloth or tissue

    I have better things to do than hate the president, since A. I couldn't do much better and B. The entire political system is based on a no longer relevant system of checks and balances that cuts off any relevent measure's chance of success just to spite it's face.

    Every time I get mad at the country/world/life.. me and bob go on a date and I forget all about it. You should try it. :p

    Never talked to either of you much, but this place makes you feel at home.
    That is one reason I stick around.
    I'll leave you 2 alone (is 2 being alone?) for now.

    We like to stir the pot and cause trouble. We also feed off eachother and get pretty bad sometimes. Abbysue has had to put us in the corner more than once in the past. :p

    @abbysue... if you want to be a real brat, bring up the fact that he ain't an admin no more :p
     
  40. Wenchie

    Wenchie I R teh brat

    Pretty sure he's relieved about that :p

    Being nice and even handed towards people you would rather punt is no picnic.

    I don't let power control me.. the mofo I was battling with (sorry Timmay) needed to be shut down and he thought that because I was an admin that I would power trip. "Remove self from admin.. now what? huh what?"

    Which one are we talking about, cus I can't picture either Tim as a communist. Well, the popular definition of a communist, not the scholarly definition.
