Spiders

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Yeah, I used to do the same. But in the winter the poor little bastards will freeze to death, and if you drop 'em from the window, they'll probably fall to their deaths. As my father says, "Too much bother," or "TMB" as it were. So I usually kill them - at least I try to give them a quick and hopefully not to painful death.

I've often wondered how quickly they die when I squish them or if they suffer much as I squeeze their gooey innards out through their exo-skeletons. My hope is that the answer to those questions is "not quickly at all" and "a whole hell of a lot" respectively.

smurf Spiders.

I don't mind the little buggers, they take care of other bugs and what-not. I've always hoped they don't suffer too much.

Rest easy. I doubt spiders have the brain capacity to percieve pain in a way that's even close to that of humans.

Well that's good to hear.

The Ceej once said that spiders were the smartest beings on the Earth. Do with this information what you will. xD

He also said that bipolar people were the next step in human evolution but were being held back by a governmental/pharmeucutical/jewish tri-force of evil, that odds of 365.25/1 were just too long for his birthday to fall on January 1st, and moving The Sarah Connor Chronicles forward an hour on a weekday was part of a national conspiracy to stop him from watching shows he liked.

Ah, The Ceej. What a guy. We should unban him.

EDIT: And rename him 'FAPPO!'

[Peegee]

If you threaten to unban the ceej ever again I will tell the story about how 4chan saved him from me getting him arrested.

[Pike]

I want to hear this story anyway.

I call your bluff. But you didn't read my post carefully enough.

He was banned? I thought he left of his own volition after Roto was harassing him.

Shut up and tell the story.

Seconded. xD

Your spider's lament will never be forgotten thanks to the tale you have shared with everyone here. If only it were written as a ballad.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Oh sing ye, oh sing ye
Of the Spider who was
Merely biding his time
As he crawled through the dust

When all of a sudden
His eyes did behold
The cheese crumbs on my table
And he became bold

Venturing forward
Through the litter of my dinner
Surely he thought
That he was a winner

But whose fingers did crush
The poor spider's frail life?
Who snuffed out his mind
Like the thrust of a knife?

Twas my mother,
In all sooth
For I was too lazy
In my hunger and youth

And poor spider was gone
Like a candle snuffed out
But his memory lives on
Of that we have no doubt

His lament was a testament
To his misplaced bravado
But now this song must end
And away I must go!

Nice!

Spiders terrify me. In fact the super poisonous ones almost all live in this area! So I treat every spider like it could poison me. Now while I say that, I can't kill them! I feel bad about taking anythings life. Even if they are super scary bugs. So, I use something to capture them or push them outside. Or I run away.

Spiders scare the tit out of me.

I remember once I had to get an electricity reading from the box outside my house. I opened the box door to be confronted by a spider that looked more like an Uruk-hai assassin...

I'm pretty sure it had a baseball bat too.

Luckily, I managed to kick it in the face before it was able to carry me off across the plains of Rohan whilst force-feeding me grog.

Honestly though, I can't stand them. If I had a flame-thrower I would definitely have used it. I'm with Vivi... smurf them.

EDIT: Vincent, Thunder God's Ballad was epic.

Beautiful, Vincent. Just beautiful.
