(OT) I'm being hunted by a spider.

[thundershot]

Don't feel bad. I thought I was gonna have nightmares last night (I have a horrible fear of spiders), but I was fine. The pictures REALLY didn't help matters though... Still can't wait til Sat when I can sic them on my players so their characters can turn them into spider juice.

I like spiders ....

as long as they can be dropped out of the window, stepped on, or keep a healthy dose of distance from me.

Creamsteak MIA?

I have just noticed that Creamsteak has not given us a update on this little adventure! I wonder if the spider won?

He has been posting in other threads... unless... that is the spider using his sign-on?!

That would be just like those lazy darn spiders!

I bet they are in league with the penguins..

Funny. I like spiders, and what did I dream about?

My brother and I staying in a hotel room together. A large spider, body the approximate color of a cherry and the size of a golf ball, was running around our room. It kept running over our books, onto our faces, and so forth.

My brother kept trying to catch the spider in a glass, but he was doing a terrible job of it, and it kept hopping away. Finally I tried, and I caught it beneath a cup --

-- but it hopped so hard against the side of the cup that it split in half, and one half ran away while the other half sagged, ichor leaking out of its shell, twitching and dying within the glass.

Thanks, Creamsteak!

Heh... I was digging through my old threads, and found out I never finished thist story...

Well, over the next couple days I stopped seeing the spider. He decided that I wasn't worth his time. Then, after approximately two weeks, I caught him running acrosss my driveway in the morning before going off to school. I was fully armed (with a pair of shoes on my feet) and went after him, but he dodged out of my way. After I was certain I wouldn't see him again, I left. Two days later, he had been squished by an SUV in my driveway... it was sad that such an agile little critter would die to such an unintentional action.

It's probably the same kind of spider I have at my house. Your arachnophobia exaggerates the size. Just take a rolled up newspaper and be ready to defy your foe. You will succeed, even through the battle will be the stuff of legends sung by bards ages to come.

Maybe there's a whole colony breeding in his basement. Maybe the eggsack is hatching right now. Or maybe it's one of Lolth's avatars.

Sweet dreams...

I used to get some of the smaller tarantulas about that size in Phoenix - just clap a tupperware over it, slid a card under it, and let it out in your garden. None of those wolf spiders see too well at a distance, so they're extremely easy to catch on flat surfaces. Just remember that most of them are pretty good at jumping, so try to stay behind it if you're nervous about such things .
